So you gained $80... but if you day traded you would have made $187 (minus transaction fees). Which is more fun? {nm}

Kind of the norm. Sat/Sun (depending if it sells out on Sat) increases, then Mon some people exit, taking the profits. -JPV- Jun 19, 07:53

Welcome to the game. Please don't post stock movements. Perhaps learning the ropes before suggestions would be helpful. {nm} RollingThunder Jun 19, 07:54

I still don't know why HSX has an aversion to discussing stock movements. They do it all day and night with real stocks.... tomcat90 Jun 19, 09:14

I agree. I imaging the concern is influencing or directing brand new players, not experienced traders. {nm} RollingThunder Jun 19, 09:26

Well then they could just post a warning on the sign-up screen perhaps? If it's allowed in the real world where... tomcat90 Jun 19, 09:32

I've said it before, just talk about the box office, not the stock price. {nm} Antibody Jun 19, 09:33

You can't talk about the box office until the movie opens though. There are stocks on here for a decade sometimes before that point {nm} tomcat90 Jun 19, 09:39

That's not true. The valuation of stock is based on box office. {nm} Antibody Jun 19, 09:41

In theory yes. In practice, especially on HSX, oftentimes not {nm} tomcat90 Jun 19, 09:44

Why would anyone need to talk about the stock price of something way out in development? {nm} Antibody Jun 19, 09:48

Because there is a value proposition at any and all points in a movie's lifespan. Look at yesterday's IPO for example... tomcat90 Jun 19, 10:04

PTRPN doesn't have a release date or production start date. {nm} Antibody Jun 19, 10:07

Even such an innocent post can be an attempt to try to reverse the trend. {nm} Antibody Jun 19, 10:09

Experienced traders are just likely if not more to follow price movements for the sake of price movement. {nm} Antibody Jun 19, 09:32

Because unlike the real world, this it the only centralized place to talk HSX. {nm} Antibody Jun 19, 09:35

Right, but that makes it even easier to control. Turn on CNBC anytime and watch Kramer or some other talking head... tomcat90 Jun 19, 09:42

And it's under control. I've seen the way you "whine" about stock pirce. {nm} Antibody Jun 19, 10:01

Maybe instead of insulting people when they speak up about things that many on this site don't like, like the... tomcat90 Jun 19, 10:12

There is a limit to the amount of shares one could buy (or sell) of a new MovieStock shadowking Jun 19, 08:13

Shush! You're not supposed to bring facts into someone's complaint about not knowing what's going on! DTravel Jun 19, 12:42

Just ignore day traders and stick to value. LIONK IPO'd at $200, went to $220, Tanked to $165, then ripped to $280 and crushed shorts :) {nm} tomcat90 Jun 19, 08:31

I've got opposite advice: trade, baby, trade. trade swings, that is how you make most H$ {nm} Oleg_Max Jun 19, 08:57

Absolutely correct IMO. Follow the stock trends for best profits, if you can devote the time needed. If not... hope for the best. {nm} Not My President Jun 19, 09:04

Although some of us don't live on HSX :p, so hard to keep up with wild swings (in regards to these kind of IPOs). -JPV- Jun 19, 09:05

I agree. The pursuit of real money, that buys real things, is a bit more fun anyway, but to each his own :) {nm} tomcat90 Jun 19, 09:09

So you gained $80... but if you day traded you would have made $187 (minus transaction fees). Which is more fun? Nigel_Ray Jun 19, 10:40

buying & forgetting is more fun. Im not about to turn hsx into a job SMH {nm} adrenalin112 Jun 19, 11:29

It's all a function of one's free time right? To make $187, you have to time each trade perfectly and watch every tick... tomcat90 Jun 19, 11:36

Very true. I have the luxury of little moments of free time at my job to hit refresh on the site and watch a related Twitter feed. {nm} Nigel_Ray Jun 19, 11:48

and thats why i miss the friday 10am Halt with Sunday Adjust. It was really a place to put your H$ where you mouth is adrenalin112 Jun 19, 14:16

Just like the real world stock market, right? FabioParme Jun 19, 08:57

PTRPN is up 30% from IPO. {nm} Antibody Jun 19, 09:14

I sit on this type of stock like this like a hen on an egg. It'll mature and grow into a tasty treat one day. {nm} Bronzey Jun 19, 10:11

Or not... {nm} FabioParme Jun 19, 10:37
