THE ENTERTAINMENT MARKET
To be clearer, proper functioning of a market relies on there being information that can be trusted by investors.
That's why in the real world, publicly-traded companies have to publish accounts, why IPO prospectuses have to contain full information about the companies being IPO'ed and so on. It's also why in the real world, certain types of trading activity - ones that artificially inflate price or volume traded - are illegal, because they manipulate the market to the profit of a few insiders. There's no such thing as "anyone can say anything they want - the market will correct itself!".
It's the same on HSX. For these discussion forums to work properly, there has to be a system to insure that investors can trust the information that is posted here. That's why there are rules about what can and cannot be posted, and why posts that breach these rules are deleted by the moderator.
ok, new question. Where can one go to find or create call to actions??? something tells me this May 08, 10:33
in one's own mind seems to be safest! {nm} May 08, 10:35
I think the point is to disallow calls to action, to prevent market manipulation. May 08, 10:38
That would be Broadway and Wall St, ever since the Buttonwood Agreement in 1792 :). {nm} May 08, 10:38
But you can't really manipulate the market - box office receipts come in and the price adjusts. Who cares what you post? May 08, 10:41

+1.....lots of newbs think they're the Jim Kramer of HSX w/o any understanding of this game {nm} May 08, 12:13
Well, but hang on a moment... forums aren't truth centers, they're just forums May 08, 12:42
once you allow one to post a call to action, you allow everyone. then this place becomes an impossible-to-read forums with May 08, 13:52
You're jumping the gun a bit May 08, 14:29
There's nothing wrong with stating your opinion. Just state your reasoning when you do. {nm} May 08, 14:34
I love unreasonable assumptions; they're my favorite kind {nm} May 08, 14:41
bottom line...its against the rules May 08, 13:58
In the long-run you cannot, but short-term is a different story. {nm} May 08, 11:00
the best and only legit call to action is to find real breaking news about a movie, and post it here {nm} May 08, 11:35
