THE ENTERTAINMENT MARKET
I'm fine without it. To me, this is more of a true stock market feel. The adjust gimmick allows you to make money quicker when the 2.7 . . .
multiplier is too high or too low for a particular genre, and then again after the adjust. Otherwise, you make just as much a little slower when you're right. And without the halt, if you're on the wrong side of a trade when numbers come in, you can flip and make more than without the adjust.
Also, if you're not at your computer at the right time with the latest information immediately prior to the halt, you can really screw yourself. But now, for those with lives outside HSX on a Saturday, without a deadline, you can adjust when you do get access.
I'm not as verbally gifted as those wanting the adjust back, but in short, it seems to me that the biggest money-making advantage of the adjust is when the adjust multiplier puts the stock at a level that it doesn't belong. I believe allowing market forces to drive the price is more true to a market format and investing according to research rather than playing the gimmicks.
Yeah, I'm really hating the new game without having halt/adjusts... Mar 05, 04:56
I agree. I've been finding it difficult to find my new rhythm with the change so I don't play as much now. {nm} Mar 05, 05:25
I agree and I think you've been fair. Mar 05, 05:29

Yeah, it's like what I said a couple weeks ago that there will be a lot more ARB stocks after openings Mar 05, 05:55
Then again, John Wick 2 is going to delist just above 2.7 so maybe that's still an apt mult to use. {nm} Mar 05, 06:39
this is the part I don't like -- taking a temporary-but-hard hit on films with good OWs and the promise of legs {nm} Mar 05, 10:45

But, HSX is not a real market, it is (was) a game. The adjust was the fun. {nm} Mar 05, 06:37

Totally agree. I barely play anymore and it is extremely difficult to make money. {nm} Mar 05, 06:10
I guess I just like it when there's more of a challenge to make the fake money. That's what makes it fun as a game. {nm} Mar 05, 06:40
it's not a challange, its simply a choice of spending the time to stay up & log on to this stupid site at reset {nm} Mar 05, 18:17
Can't make money if there are no players {nm} Mar 05, 07:44
Agree. LOGAN would be adjusting at $230.31 and instead sits $50 lower. It was fun to get paid for getting the OW.... Mar 05, 08:14
It was a challenging and fun. Reading forums, doing research, waiting for early estimates... Mar 05, 08:21
The "game" has definitely lost the pizazz it once had. I don't visit as often since the loss of the halts and adjusts. Mar 05, 09:03
I like it, but would double the shares allowed for OW {nm} Mar 05, 09:58
I guess I can no longer say that not a single player asked for or likes the change. Mar 05, 10:01
That makes sense. {nm} Mar 05, 12:15
I proposed 250k when we had the switch to approximate the same total dollar outlay, but yes, 100k is not enough {nm} Mar 05, 10:14
I don't -hate- it, I suppose, but it's made me really apathetic. I log in less frequently and care less when I see red. {nm} Mar 06, 05:23
