I guess you're looking from the perspective of maintaining a database
and extracting data on demand. As far as a list of moviestocks, I'd just be looking for a static web page list, or even a text file held on the server, not even available via links. I may go ahead and code to Kaigee's pages, but, it's not a great solution, since his updates are so infrequent.
On HowProfitable, I've picked up 1,540 active movies, and 4,200 inactive. Also 1,416 Starbonds. Sep 14, 13:45
did you count them manually? if so, you don't need to: Sep 14, 14:04
Thanks for that, actually I tallied them up via excel spreadsheet, but that helped. {nm} Sep 14, 14:31
And I got 'em... 1515 Positions 151,500,000 Shares Worth H$2,059,711,000.00 {nm} Sep 14, 14:37
I do not see the challenge? This is a video game, eh. Sep 14, 15:34
My turn: If only there was a tool - similar to the bonk health check - into which Sep 14, 17:51
Duh, BOND health check. {nm} Sep 14, 20:23
But the mental picture of the bonk health check is more entertaining. :D {nm} Sep 14, 21:33
Also the problem is that for mere mortals, the "not owned" list will be huge, compared to the "owned". Sep 14, 22:16
True enough. I think I'd tackle it, if I could get HSX to spit out one long list of moviestocks. Sep 15, 06:43
The problem any site is that retrieving and displaying over 5000 stocks per request would be a killer on the server. {nm} Sep 15, 07:00
But, it's 1500, not 5000. I don't see any trouble at all, of displaying that many lines. Sep 15, 07:06

Actually just the active list is only 1540, but still a heavy drain on processing power. {nm} Sep 15, 07:03
I guess you're looking from the perspective of maintaining a database Sep 15, 08:17
I would guess the whole thing would be used only lightly, after an intial burst PM users trying it out. {nm} Sep 15, 20:44
