It's Bond Adjust Tuesday! Er, Wednesday! I love free money. -- nm - Was Bar Was May 28, 11:00 13
- Riddle me this...since I missed out on the Bond adjusts...it would probably be smart to short them all now... - Jim May 28, 11:06 8
  - No. It really depends on what the next adjust of that bond will be and when. The current adjust will have little to no effect on its next adjust. - pmb May 28, 11:17 2
    - something i forgot about how bonds work - if a film doesn't report box office and drops from the Star's TAG, does the film also drop from the Bond's - Diva Crowe May 28, 11:21 1
      - I believe it does. -- nm - pmb May 28, 11:22
  - probably, but i just sold 'em. if i don't get them out i'll forget, or play it wrong. -- nm - Andie May 28, 11:11 2
    - Well, I just shorted the top 4. Let's see what happens tomorrow. It's only fake money, right? -- nm - Jim May 28, 11:12 1
      - live large! -- nm - Andie May 28, 11:13
  - But what about the ones that were shorted to make money? -- nm - Spawn Lord May 28, 11:08
  - an interesting question. smaller ports would have to profit take, but larger ports might just flip or hold per next adjust. - the mystifying virtuoso May 28, 11:08
- Paul Giamatti, you da man! -- nm - groiny May 28, 11:04 2
  - He ain't got nothing on Sally Field -- nm - ty97 May 28, 11:05 1

- The Fault in Our Stars! In 3D! -- nm - Mop (205 lbs) May 28, 10:58 2
  - Nope, that's June's preview screening. -- nm - LMS May 28, 11:00 1
    - In 3D! -- nm - Mop (205 lbs) May 28, 11:14
- speaking of previews, i opted out of Edge of Tomorrow tonight in favour of dinner with a friend i never get to see. - Andie May 28, 10:57 3
  - oh, those derivatives are priced at freaking $30. that's all tom cruise can do now? I feel like they've been marketing it for years and $30?? -- nm - the mystifying virtuoso May 28, 10:58 2
    - yeah, that seems low to me, even though I think that movie looks horrid. nm -- nm - groiny May 28, 11:01 1
      - Reviews have been excellent so far. - Jelly May 28, 11:10

    - That's dumb now, but it's not like he's undeserving of the game. - Will Hunting May 28, 10:53
    - is he still hitting like .370? -- nm - groiny May 28, 10:50
- Hmmm...have to look at the schedule a bit. Example, the Cardinals have spent much of the early season on the road... - Jim May 28, 10:47 2
  - [deleted] 1
    - Wow...and that's without a lot of St. Louis support. nicey nice -- nm - Jim May 28, 10:49

LYC . . . i'm up almost a million dollars right now, and the starbonds haven't adjusted yet . . . - i'm not dead yet ! May 28, 10:29 3
- Man, looking through my biggest gains and losses, I went in on some stuuuupid IPOs. -- nm - volnelk May 28, 10:37 2
  - I am sure we all have a slew of crap in there that look foolish now. nm -- nm - groiny May 28, 10:38 1
    - I know, but looking at a stock down 99.9% hurts a bit. -- nm - volnelk May 28, 10:42

      - [deleted] 11
        
        He has a career OBP over .400 in the minors. I think he is top 3 across the minors in the category for 2B. -- nm - David May 28, 10:44 9
        
        [deleted] 7
        
        If a .384 OBP is mediocre, I wish every player in our system were mediocre. - David May 28, 10:50 6
        
        it is a bad baseball name, though. nm -- nm - groiny May 28, 10:52 1
        
        I dread the drunken Braves fans screaming "la STELLAAAAAAAAAA" -- nm - David May 28, 10:53

        You've probably kept up with the Braves more than I have the last six weeks but... - David May 28, 10:57 1
        
        [deleted]
        
        And I just looked. He has a career OPS of .881. What about that doesn't scream FT player? - David May 28, 10:46
        
        they could trade for Gordon Beckham. nm -- nm - groiny May 28, 10:43
The kicker at the end of LeVar's Reading Rainbow Kickstarter video is great. -- nm - Mop (205 lbs) May 28, 10:22

did it used to have your actual exact start date on the leaderboards, because i don't think i ever exactly knew. - Andie May 28, 10:15 5
- 1 Dec 1997, after I transferred my first port to become an index fund. -- nm - Max May 28, 11:11
- My first trade was made on May 3, 1997. 17 years at this. -- nm - TWuG May 28, 10:43 1
  - I think the only other things I've been doing on the internet for that long is sending email - TWuG May 28, 10:45
- 9/21/98. my portfolio can drive soon. -- nm - the mystifying virtuoso May 28, 10:23
- 1999-04-13 for me. -- nm - Jim May 28, 10:18
Couldn't we talk baseball or football or something? -- nm - Mop (205 lbs) May 28, 10:11 7
- Hi, hi, hi. -- nm - Spawn Lord May 28, 11:14
- Sure. The next month, if the Reds admit they are sellers, and if Cueto and Chapman become available, could get interesting. -- nm - volnelk May 28, 10:31 1
  - Sports Stock Exchange! -- nm - Mop (205 lbs) May 28, 10:34
- Sure. We can talk about Lance Lynn shutting out the Yankees last night. That was cool. - Jim May 28, 10:12 3
  - [deleted] 1
    - If Lynn is shutting you guys out...be glad you didn't have to face Wain-o in this series. :) -- nm - Jim May 28, 10:27

"If you are long on STRWR, get the fuck out." - David May 28, 10:08 25
- I bought it at 200.00 and will ride it until adjust. -- nm - Spawndroid May 28, 10:31 1
  - 247.00 here -- nm - groiny May 28, 10:35
- It's only about a $150 long from this price. -- nm - Will Hunting May 28, 10:14
- It's sitting at $308.46 right now. Just need a little bumpy bump to get it to the magic number. - Jim May 28, 10:11 21
  - I retired from HSX and have never ever never looked back. -- nm - David May 28, 10:16 20
    - Word. I won't ever go back. -- nm - Krusty May 28, 10:49
    - We all retired and never looked back...til yesterday. Join us. nm - Jim May 28, 10:18 16
      - We still haven't watched the finale and knowing who won, I am not enthusiastic to do so. - David May 28, 10:24 14
        
        I just don't understand what it is you're looking for. There was a ton of good stuff in this season. - Jim May 28, 10:26 13
        
        also, you know TV is pissed that spencer got the two hour bow on rob and he only got 20 minutes. tony likes nothing more than limelight. - the mystifying virtuoso May 28, 10:58 1
        
        Apparently #teamtv and Spencer are like great buddies. But yeah, he likes the attention, that's for sure. - Jim May 28, 11:05
        
        I'm looking for people who don't make me want to put my foot through the tv. - David May 28, 10:31 10
        
        I'm telling you, dude could read the other players. (spoils, I guess) - Jim May 28, 10:38 9
        
        As I said the last two times you mentioned the Spencer thing, that is exactly what luck is. - David May 28, 10:43 8
        
        I really think that the TPI was just a terrible idea. I almost didn't want to watch either. I am not saying that - the mystifying virtuoso May 28, 10:56 5
        
        Agreed all around. Survivor doesn't work in God Mode. -- nm - David May 28, 10:58 4
        
        I feel like they're saying "look how we can f*ck with players" but maybe I am just too nice a person for that kind of puppetteering to be attractive - the mystifying virtuoso May 28, 11:00 3
        
        I don't like the idea of the Tyler Perry Idol either. And I don't like the secrecy of the idol. -- nm - Jim May 28, 11:02 2
        
        It's similar to the handling of Last Chance Kitchen on Top Chef. - David May 28, 11:07 1
        
        I'd be fine if they just got rid of the idols altogether. Especially after watching this season's clinic on how not to use an idol. - Jim May 28, 11:11
        
        Well, for what it's worth...here was Dano's post I was referring to. He said it better than I can. -- (link) - Jim May 28, 10:45 [Backboard] 1
        
        I love Dan but I read that when it was posted and got a good laugh out of it. - David May 28, 10:48
      - things change. -- nm - Andie May 28, 10:20
    - ditto. -- nm - Reagen May 28, 10:17 1

  - I think you are entitled to embrace this new alcoholic healing phase - Pippy May 28, 11:20
PINK2 100,000 long H$0.17 H$0.17 H$0.00 (0.00 %) H$17,000.00 0.00 (0.00%) Trade - Jim May 28, 10:01 20
- Just checking...everyone in the ST league owns this, yes? That's a rule, right? -- nm - Jim May 28, 10:03 1
  - it practically should have been the League name. -- nm - Andie May 28, 10:04
- Poll! What is your net gain or loss on PINK2. (and if you say you don't own it, fix that.) -- nm - Andie May 28, 10:03 17
  - PINK2 100,00 long Avg. paid=H$6.78 Current=H$0.24 Vallue = H$24,000.00 Down 653,500.00 (-96.46%) - TWuG May 28, 10:48
  - Now, I own 1 share. -- nm - LMS May 28, 10:25
  - Bought at $0.01 -- currently $.22 so +21,000.00 (2,100.00%) -- nm - Will Hunting May 28, 10:19
  - Bought at $13.72 so right now its a $675,000 loss.....though SPYHT has a $1.7 million loss. -- nm - Walt_Disney May 28, 10:11 1
    - i sold off all my giant losses last week. i found them demoralizing. -- nm - Andie May 28, 10:13
  - I bought 50k of it at $11.25 so -$553K -- nm - volnelk May 28, 10:07
  - Bought at 8.91, currently 0.19. -- nm - pmb May 28, 10:07 1
    - i remember selling and rebuying it lower a year or two ago. - Andie May 28, 10:08
  - oooh, i am making money! PINK2 100,000 long H$0.06 H$0.19 H$0.02 (11.7 6%) H$19,000.00 13,000.00 -- nm - Andie May 28, 10:04 7
    - it was up a fair bit yesterday, I think. -- nm - the mystifying virtuoso May 28, 10:05 6
      - because we all bought it? -- nm - Andie May 28, 10:06 5
        
        I think the market as a whole is being driven by all of you buying again (which says something about volume). I'm sure traders there are wondering - pmb May 28, 10:08 4
        
        I certainly recognize most of the names on the Volume Traded This Week chart. -- nm - Max May 28, 11:10
        
        Also, there was about $30mil in delisting stocks yesterday so a lot of money is floating. -- nm - Will Hunting May 28, 10:21
        
        oh, i'm sure. -- nm - Andie May 28, 10:10
        
        they can turn down volatility, right? -- nm - the mystifying virtuoso May 28, 10:09
  - Heh...I just bought it, so I'm at $0.00. Several years ago, I cleaned out the port. -- nm - Jim May 28, 10:04
