Hi Ruthian, welcome to the game. I see you've already doubled your port since you joined. Great job! As for the previous discussions:

woof...we've had quite a number of them, although I don't have the wherewithal to hunt them down. It happened with the IPOs of Transformers 4, PIRT5, CAPA2, HNOV3...basically, people were confused/complaining about 1) how tens of millions of shares of these stocks were bought on IPO day, and how those shares had no bearing on how the stocks then moved the next day after reset and 2) how tens of millions of shares of the stock being moved on the second day seemed to move the price only a few points early on, and then smaller amounts of shares moved swung the needle wildly later.  Basically, it boils down to- the amout of shares traded in one day does nothing to affect price the next day and HSX has a special formula that dictates the movement of stock price based on number of shares moved in a given time frame, with brakes and release that automatically kick in, and we aren't privy to those secrets.  And also, it's just a game. :)

300mil in 4 weekends, made its budget back domestically, everyone knows its a hit you're just trying to stir the point just to stir the pot. {nm} Moviesnob Aug 21, 20:12

Not sure where you are getting 300mil$ as everything i have read says it has not reached chipmonks 224 million Dacies18 Aug 21, 20:15

329 worldwide. {nm} dsbman Aug 21, 20:31

odd Dacies18 Aug 21, 20:12

i think there is a question here tho, more volume yesterday, but more movement today, there seems to be no method to the madness Fitch3k Aug 21, 20:14

it IPOed yesterday {nm} Moviesnob Aug 21, 20:15

Not to mention Dacies18 Aug 21, 20:20

Are you new to this game? Have you not seen the way IPOs, especially IPOs with actual release dates, especially IPOs of recent, fairly Paul2k Aug 21, 20:26

hes just trying to move the stock (and it worked) {nm} Moviesnob Aug 21, 20:27

Smurfs will pass Chipmunks in a few days to take the all-time top spot amongst children's movies with CGI stars {nm} Power87 Aug 21, 20:36

Replying to trolls gets them the movement they want b/c it gets people to read their troll posts {nm} alfpaul Aug 21, 22:56

Hi Ruthian, welcome to the game. I see you've already doubled your port since you joined. Great job! As for the previous discussions: Paul2k Aug 21, 20:48

Thanks for the summary. Much appreciated! {nm} Ruthian23 Aug 22, 00:06

Im not new Dacies18 Aug 21, 23:31

The "not new" part is what makes it bad alfpaul Aug 22, 08:30

If this truly is your first time on the boards, then that explains why you were unaware of the "unspoken rules" about posting , as well as Paul2k Aug 22, 09:00

I'm not sure you understand how HSX works Jane_Citizen Aug 21, 20:37

Stocks are frozen until their initial IPO share offering is bought up, not until midnight. {nm} dsbman Aug 21, 20:50

Well, technically, it's frozen until whichever one of those two conditions is met first. {nm} Paul2k Aug 21, 20:53

Yes that's correct, apologies {nm} Jane_Citizen Aug 21, 21:06

that's not how IPOs work, there is an intial amount of shares offered at the IPO price when they are gone it's open to market demand. Fitch3k Aug 21, 23:20

yes I've confused the issue. The price unfreezes at midnight or when all of the initial offering is sold. sorry {nm} Jane_Citizen Aug 22, 00:18

I'm still trying to figure out how Smurfs 1 tanked... {nm} stevie1der328 Aug 22, 03:32

Lol. No kidding. It exceeded almost everybody's expectations. {nm} Juiced Aug 22, 04:32
