OK, there are a couple of things to talk about here.

When investing in IPOs, it pays to do a little research. For example, Townies was announced back in May 2012, but there hasn't been any news in the nine months since then. While the project is probably in development behind the scenes, that lack of activity is not good for the stock. When news happens, the moviestock will rise in price, but until then there will not be a lot of investment demand. Why should traders invest in a stock that doesn't have a production date or a release date? That's why the price is falling.

Also, news - good or bad - is usually posted on the Movies board. If a moviestock is having a big change in price, check there first to see if there's an obvious reason why. If there's nothing there, then there's no news, and the price change is being driven by other factors.

As a rule, players with very small ports shouldn't be investing in moviestocks IPOs, because there are so many other, more profitable investments they could be making. Trading on daily swings, investing in starbonds and so on. This article has some tips on how to grow a small port quickly. (Full disclosure - I wrote it so I am partly plugging my website)

Tagging - by putting square brackets around the ticker symbol - is for news items only. This is because tagged posts are linked to the moviestock page, and form a record of news about the movie. Posts with incorrect tags are deleted by the site admin.

If you've read this far, you deserve an investment tip. There is a lot of money to be made in starbonds, and it's highly worthwhile to figure out how they work. For example, next week GRIBI, which is currently trading above $90, will have TFGSQ come into his TAG, replacing AVATR, and the TAG will drop from ~$110 to $68. Figuring out what I just said and investing accordingly will earn you $400K.

There are a couple more good starbond opportunities coming up this week - MDUPL, JEDGE, EDRAM. Look up Trailing Average Gross in the glossary (linked at the bottom of this page) to figure out how starbonds work, then check out those starbonds and invest accordingly for easy money.

I like this hollywood stock exchange, but question... Panda Feb 02, 05:03

There is a .01% transaction fee per every trade. However, this does not apply tostocks or bonds which delist. # tips tatoufan Feb 02, 07:06

I've been playing just over 2 years and the TAG that Roger More just referenced blew my mind Dionisio Feb 02, 22:03

Starbonds are simple - there's plenty of easy money and no real mystery. Everyone should be able to do it. RogerMore Feb 03, 08:33

Beg to differ about 'very small Ports not investing in MovieStock IPO's'. RotoHockeyYTD2013 Feb 03, 11:39

Yes, but you know how they perform. A normal small port (usually newbies) don't really know when to pull the trigger and cash out... {nm} slappydavid Feb 03, 13:13
