Posted by: Catzan on Oct 29, 15:11 in response to Antibody's post Here's the Official Announcement

gumption to pick a decision on Friday and the smarter players/luckier players rose quickly through the ranks. How many would be crying a river if they were holding Inferno long right now.  I can't remember what the logic of moving the halt to Friday was...perhaps it was to make HSX seem more a prognosticator of box gross.

I wish I could play as much as I did my first two years because it has been easier but maybe that is why I don't play as much other than lack of time is that it is pretty easy to make fake $$$. No halt really won't change much as the prices are already adjusting to where they will be.

As a community, I appreciate all the new regular posters as it keeps me abreast of what is what in the movie industry and I don't have to sift through 15 web sites to find an interesting story. That keeps me on the site as opposed to making fake $$$ like in 2006.  Thanks!

Can someone give some guidance on how we are supposed to value moviestocks now? {nm} Chimpmuck Oct 28, 12:06

Based on how much box office you think they'll make over 4 weekends of release. {nm} RogerMore Oct 28, 12:10

Your name reminded me of HSXsanity. Found some info <inside>... Chimpmuck Oct 28, 12:29

Shouldn't the "MAX" amount you can trade on OW warrants increase to match the $ amount of the underlying stock you can trade? tomcat90 Oct 28, 13:07

No, because, in essence, the .OW is leverage. ndmaster Oct 28, 21:14

Please bring back Chart of the Week {nm} Chimpmuck Oct 28, 12:34

I don't have time to write the columns weekly, but Im happy to make the tool I use to generate the charts public. RogerMore Oct 28, 13:44

You can still use 2.7 x opening weekend. {nm} Antibody Oct 28, 12:15

Value kid animated and old people movies over sequels, supers, horror... TwoMisfits Oct 28, 15:33

Dude, please reconsider. {nm} budice Oct 28, 12:26

What kind of useful data does HSX get from movie stocks at this point {nm} MattW Oct 28, 12:38

Good lord...our estimate of the movie at delist! {nm} ndmaster Oct 28, 21:15

I wish we returned to halts on Friday. It was fun watching traders squirm when the realize they were holding the stock incorrectly. :) {nm} BelizeIt Oct 28, 12:55

So just to clarify, for myself anyway haha, we treat stock prices as what they'll do for 4 or 12 week totals. PARAX Fund (NOLEAFCLOVR) Oct 28, 13:03

Sounds right to me...no more huge adjusts after a halt..say goodbye to those. {nm} Flash Oct 28, 14:23

Yeah, I'm with you on that. Thanks, just wanted to make sure i had this right. {nm} PARAX Fund (NOLEAFCLOVR) Oct 28, 15:26

I feel like IPO Prices should be much cheaper now because of this news. {nm} Fechin Oct 28, 17:30

+1 - Especially supers/sequels/horror - they should be almost 40% lower now if you want any trading on them... {nm} TwoMisfits Oct 29, 06:11

Ty antibody... Happy trading all ! {nm} jmt-nl Oct 28, 14:21

Just take the halt of the movie stocks back one day and everything is fun again!!!! {nm} billy Oct 28, 14:23

Seriously not happy about this news. {nm} Fechin Oct 28, 14:26

OW limit should be increase. 250k would be sufficient. {nm} DiNar0 Oct 28, 15:01

+1 {nm} MattW Oct 28, 16:17

I said the same thing above, but it's inside the headline. I'm with you. It's the right thing to do {nm} tomcat90 Oct 28, 18:28

so trying to get MS prices cloeer to reality rather than a price that just makes imaginary money for us then returns to reality :) {nm} tealfan Oct 28, 15:03

*closer {nm} tealfan Oct 28, 15:03

Agreed that OW stock limit should increase with these changes. {nm} woodchop Oct 28, 15:14

Great! Can we go back to the gold standard and drop the FED too?!?!? {nm} HollywoodTycoon61 Oct 28, 15:33

Great! Can we go back to the gold standard and drop the FED too?!?!? They both operate on false inflation / deflation indicators. Just sayin {nm} HollywoodTycoon61 Oct 28, 15:40

I'm sorry to hear this as adjusts are where I make most of my fake funds. I can't keep up with the stock price manipulation these days so grammar Oct 28, 16:59

have you thought about what to do with eapgod? {nm} islander s. pumpkins Oct 28, 17:18

I'm discussing it with Karl. Will let you all know. {nm} grammar Oct 28, 19:38

It's madness to throw out the FUN factor of HSX. {nm} pugalenthii Oct 28, 19:30

+1 {nm} TwoMisfits Oct 29, 06:11

I'm a diehard HSX player. The best players will still succeed at making HSX $$$, regardless of rule changes. {nm} eallensbp Oct 28, 22:11

My kneejerk reaction is negative since I always had fun waiting for the adjusts. However, as with most changes in life, I'm sure I'll get... Willroast Oct 28, 23:31

On a separate note, it will kill Saturday AND Sunday traffic TwoMisfits Oct 29, 06:14

+1 {nm} Dorfman Oct 29, 06:37

So, two questions iagommc Oct 29, 11:58

I wouldn't call out exact stock movements and questions... TwoMisfits Oct 29, 17:55

I'm indifferent to the change personally. Will take some getting used to though for sure. {nm} MiyazakiFan Oct 29, 14:12
