CelebStock and StarBonds

According to TMZ, Paul Walker has died in a car crash. {nm} rmg427 Nov 30, 18:23

:,( loved his movies. enjoyed his work as guilty pleasures {nm} adrenalin112 Nov 30, 18:39

if true, RIP. underrated actor {nm} Moviesnob Nov 30, 18:41

Still trying to verify with other news sites. Only on TMZ, may be a hoax, I hope. {nm} rmg427 Nov 30, 18:43

CNN confirms it as well as apparently his facebook page and twitter account. Der_Schakal Nov 30, 19:40

PWALK Short is gonna payoff BIGTIME Alby Nov 30, 19:39

Uh...doesn't a star bond cash out at face value upon the death of a star. It doesn't go to zero just because someone passed away...? {nm} Der_Schakal Nov 30, 19:41

"If a star should happen to meet the end of his/her career (death, retirement, etc.), the StarBond is cashed out at the TAG." {nm} slappydavid Nov 30, 19:44

I thought it was something like that. If it dropped to zero, then people would just short all older actor's bonds for the zero cash out! {nm} Der_Schakal Nov 30, 19:49

That Just Sucks!!!!! Alby Dec 01, 03:52

Why? The box office average of their last 5 movies doesn't change. {nm} RogerMore Dec 01, 07:01

Alby only magically appears when a starbond dies... (check his profile posts) {nm} RazorHawk Dec 01, 07:58

By the way, you'll know this... RogerMore Dec 01, 09:10

You are right. erhead56 Dec 01, 09:51

your father most likely wouldve wanted you to play his port full stop. why not SharkBaitJnr? {nm} TheFox Dec 01, 13:10

last thing I remember your father was trying to sell his port. Glad you got it. {nm} TheFox Dec 01, 13:13

He tried for awhile erhead56 Dec 01, 13:41

That's very good, but I just don't have the time like he did. He spent thousands of hours on here. I have to work more and play less :( {nm} erhead56 Dec 01, 13:20

Thanks for replyin - I was sorry to hear of his passing when it was posted on the boards. I was wondering whether it was a family member or RogerMore Dec 01, 20:03

You have a great memory! erhead56 Dec 01, 21:35

They won't wait for {nm} shinglerred Nov 30, 21:11

[*sorry, hit enter] They won't wait for 'Hours' to de-list first? {nm} shinglerred Nov 30, 21:12

No. Hsx didn't wait for Enough Said for JGAND back in June {nm} JDolphin Nov 30, 22:22

OMG, the bond is already halted. The body is not even cold yet. RIP, dude. Too Fast, and Too Furious, for real. {nm} elchan2012 Nov 30, 23:09

the starbond should at least cash out include HOURZ. If bo nil then TAG. At least that way it would be fair. {nm} TheFox Dec 01, 13:17

Found a bug in the "Bond Attachment" code on HowProfitable. It's been fixed and "Bond Attachments" should be back to normal. {nm} elchan2012 Nov 29, 22:22

You still have some major issues. See DARQU. showing adjust dates in the year 3000 and 4999 of delisted movies. Affecting data. {nm} PVL Admin Nov 30, 13:23

CSLAT, CLCOX same movie/problem... {nm} PVL Admin Nov 30, 13:23

My regex was picking up the 3000 at the the year. DARQU, CSLAT, and CLCOX are fixed. Other will be fixed by tomorrow's update. {nm} elchan2012 Nov 30, 17:08

Also, my typing skills seemed to be affected by this regex bug too. {nm} elchan2012 Nov 30, 17:09

Port Monkey update - now, copy to clipboard (in a clean format), to use on howprofitable.com, or in spreadsheet... edzep - Port Monkey! Nov 28, 15:54

Awesome and much appreciated. {nm} jdaniel Nov 28, 18:19

That's cool. But how come I don't see the ↯ thing that I'm supposed to click on? {nm} elchan2012 Nov 28, 19:34

That's supposed to be the "thunderbolt" looking thing. {nm} elchan2012 Nov 28, 19:35

Are you looking in the Moviestocks header? Is the rest of Port Monkey working? {nm} edzep - Port Monkey! Nov 28, 19:56

...and on the Starbonds header... {nm} edzep - Port Monkey! Nov 28, 20:17

Oh, and the big yellow notice on PM home page: you must enable stock summary view (see bottom of your port) for PM to work properly, anyway. {nm} edzep - Port Monkey! Nov 28, 20:30

Ok, that was it, now I see it. Unfortunately, I'm running Chrome. It's ok I still have my modified Chimp, which does it with one click. {nm} elchan2012 Nov 28, 21:41

BTW, for Chrome, the writing is on the wall, for more demanding users... edzep - Port Monkey! Nov 29, 05:27

Blast it - I just found out that Chromium is not available to Windows users in a stable package, edzep - Port Monkey! Nov 29, 06:10

.. and this is how the big fat Google machine will reap the rewards of its years of "free" programming. elchan2012 Nov 29, 07:58

Firefox is a free lunch, and, more capable and customizable than Chrome. I just don't get the Chrome attraction. {nm} edzep - Port Monkey! Nov 29, 12:19

I found Chrome a more optimized browser. (i.e. faster, and less bloated) At least a couple years back, now I'm not sure. {nm} elchan2012 Nov 29, 12:41

And, my post of early this month, on screen use... edzep - Port Monkey! Nov 29, 14:46

Can you develop a what Starbonds you don't own function just like the what movies you don't own function? That would be Great for Lg Ports {nm} PVL Admin Nov 29, 10:44

I'll consider it. I hadn't before, because owning every bond does not fit into my own mgt. style. {nm} edzep - Port Monkey! Nov 29, 12:20

Is that suppose to fix it so I see what I'm holding short/long? {nm} grammar Nov 30, 06:24

When you paste into a spreadsheet from PM, yes, you will be able to see what's long or short, unlike in the past. {nm} edzep - Port Monkey! Nov 30, 09:20

Got it thanks. Did I ever tell you I love you? :) {nm} grammar Nov 30, 19:12

As promised, here's the new LIVE TAG Calculator on HowProfitable.com. elchan2012 Nov 27, 14:26

Thank u. {nm} mike255 Nov 27, 16:45

You are welcomed, enjoy. {nm} elchan2012 Nov 27, 20:34

elchan! Bond Attacment not working from 11/24. maybe it broken :( {nm} Deeen Nov 27, 20:24

I'll have a look. Seems like there's been no bond attachments reported in a few days. {nm} elchan2012 Nov 27, 20:28

Hmm, looks like the "Last Updated" times were not getting saved properly. I fixed that today, so tomorrow things should be ok again. {nm} elchan2012 Nov 27, 20:34

thx! {nm} Deeen Nov 27, 20:56

Still has some issues with calculations. KaiGee Nov 29, 12:20

I'm doing dROI as percentage of current price. Are you doing in on predicted TAG? {nm} elchan2012 Nov 29, 13:00

Yes, predicted TAG, that's why I have entry spots for estimated MST delist prices KaiGee Nov 29, 14:35

Well, both are useful, %curr prc is good if you wanted to know how much you'd earn if you bought at today's price. {nm} elchan2012 Nov 29, 16:22

I added a second droi column for % of expected tag. {nm} elchan2012 Nov 29, 16:28

Kaigee full site has been updated! :D {nm} PVL Admin Nov 26, 21:56

Kind of. The site backend is all new. The overall data is still from last week, but the prices have been synced with HSX. KaiGee Nov 27, 06:49

Really like your site! However I do miss the search bar. Are you going to bring it back? Thanks for everything! {nm} billy75 Nov 27, 21:18

Bring back search buttom back {nm} mike255 Nov 27, 09:58

is it a language thing or are you really this rude? {nm} lapuckfan Nov 27, 10:57

Congress is 85% a June 2014 release, FWIW {nm} Moviesnob Nov 26, 22:00

JBBLV credits JCHU and LUDAC however the individual star bonds do not show JBBLV as being credited {nm} laujer Nov 26, 18:44

I just checked and they do have the movie listed {nm} JDolphin Nov 26, 19:16

@Elchan -- is your site fixed? {nm} JustWondering Nov 26, 11:52

Everything looks fine today. Had to do a double run yesterday, due to some new/bad code that I changed. Any problems today? {nm} elchan2012 Nov 26, 14:58

Looks like you're back on track - at least for next week. I didn't check any past then {nm} JDolphin Nov 26, 15:50

Also for @elchan... JustWondering Nov 26, 15:24

Flood control is because all the features are opened to non-member, and they can cause problems by flooding requests. elchan2012 Nov 26, 15:37

can anyone supply a link to @elchan's site. Thank you. {nm} McB Nov 26, 16:35

You've already had this discussion. http://www.hsx.com/forum/forum.php?id=4&pid=255679 {nm} PVL Admin Nov 24, 18:36

Having said that, DMac used to add them based on V and thought V was sufficiently accurate...why the change? PVL Admin Nov 24, 18:42

At this point, why do we not wait a couple of days and hear from folks who have seen the movie and can report on the credits? {nm} mrbinns Nov 24, 21:26

Ok, he's been credited. {nm} Antibody Nov 25, 11:27

: ) mrbinns Nov 25, 14:27

Is my site broken or are all bonds shorts next week, except for DFOGL? elchan2012 Nov 23, 22:58

Yup Check Kaigee websites {nm} mike255 Nov 23, 23:33

Something is wrong in your math. Looks like all the data is correct, but the end result adjust is wrong ( example inside) JDolphin Nov 24, 00:28

ditto. lots of incorrect adjusts. I, unfortunately, did not look close enough at first and am DEEPly in the hole as a result of commission {nm} PVL Admin Nov 24, 01:31

You need fix your entire site? Majority adjust is wrong? Compare Keigee {nm} mike255 Nov 24, 07:46

DO NOT use Elchan's charts until he has posted that they are fixed. Check your trades! WARNING! Nov 24, 12:36

I count 40 adjusts; of the 24 best investments, I get 11 short, but that is 7 of the 9 best , led by PFOND and LBIBB. {nm} mrbinns Nov 24, 13:40

PSHOF is missing something in the TAG calculation and SMACN's spread is way off. I have a feeling those aren't the only ones. {nm} socby19 Nov 24, 15:29

LBIBB's TAG cannot drop more than 50 points. {nm} socby19 Nov 24, 15:38

Agreed about Ryan Seacrest. George Clooney, Martha Stewart & Betty White were interesting. {nm} RotoHockeyYTD2013 Nov 21, 06:26

mmm, Mirren, and looks a bit like jlawr. knew Martha was always hot. islander Nov 21, 06:44

Um, I not a pedophile or anything, but she was pretty cute even at age 14. You could tell she was going to grow up into a hottie. {nm} elchan2012 Nov 22, 12:36

When choosing Starbonds to buy or short for upcoming adjusts, what's the lowest DROI I should consider? What's your lowest number? {nm} jdaniel Nov 17, 21:26

For a port your size -- as long as the gain covers comission (buy and sell) {nm} JDolphin Nov 17, 21:52

Thanks! Actually I was asking for my daughters 12 mill port, and she doesn't want dad's help, she wants pros advice! plus I trade movies. fricnfractal Nov 17, 23:07

For a 12 mil port, the answer is VERY different. She should only play starbonds on a short term basis, adjusting 2-3 week out. PVL Admin Nov 18, 00:17

Finally, have her go here and scroll down a bit in the league description. Lots of info for new players. She doesn't have to join to read. PVL Admin Nov 18, 00:21

Thanks again, she's learned alot already. And, so am I. Started looking at starbonds to invest in today :) {nm} jdaniel Nov 19, 18:19

You are most welcome. Be sure to look at Elchan's charts to verify DRoi. At her level it's critical for growth. {nm} PVL Admin Nov 19, 21:15

What a great question for the Player's Forum... Use whatever money you have available and buy down from highest to lowest Droi. PVL Admin Nov 17, 22:50

Thanks. I'll ask there as well. I just assumed the starbond pros she wanted would be found here :-) {nm} fricnfractal Nov 17, 23:14

Are you also JDaniel? You asked the question as one player and thanked us as someone else... confused. {nm} PVL Admin Nov 18, 00:17

Sorry, I was busy having a fun time looking at my wifes port and responded from there. We all play here. It's cheap and fun entertainment! {nm} fricnfractal Nov 18, 01:55

Apply standard investment theory. What is your opportunity cost and risk? A dROI of > 2% will earn you money for that day. elchan2012 Nov 18, 14:35

But you don't need 2% in one day to make a profit. 1% for 2 days, .5 for 4, .25 for 8 etc... So where's the line? PVL Admin Nov 18, 14:43

The longer the investment horizon, the higher the total ROI needs to be, because the risk is higher. Investment 101. elchan2012 Nov 18, 22:34

That really only applies when the amount of stock you can purchase is unlimited. When you own max shares of everything and something new PVL Admin Nov 19, 14:16

Talking about a 12 MILL Port - shows how Out-Of-Touch you are with Small Ports. RotoHockeyYTD2013 Nov 19, 18:13

Already covered above. This discussion has progressed to something else. So hush while the adults speak! {nm} PVL Admin Nov 19, 20:12

We all saw how you did in the YTD Competition. RotoHockeyYTD2013 Nov 19, 20:51

Well, if you want to maximize your rate of return dROI is always important. There's the opportunity cost concept again. elchan2012 Nov 19, 19:38

Sure, ok. Discussion closed as I am not going around the circle a third time. Out. {nm} PVL Admin Nov 19, 20:13

See - that's the basic Problem - you keep going in Circles while others get right to the Point. RotoHockeyYTD2013 Nov 19, 20:47
