If you buy & it gord down $10, you lose $10/share. If you short & it goes up by $10, you lose $10 per share. The {nm} forlorne Jun 14, 13:25

Done! So, since all the other funds seem to be actively managed, what fund should I bring back? {nm} CanadianFund Jun 08, 07:16

I suggest choosing one that has a wide range of scope so that you can delist the fund fast.. {nm} karspov Jun 08, 08:15

American Fund! :) {nm} slappydavid Jun 08, 10:45

Scots should allowed in the fund. Scotland is part of the UK, until they decide to separate. {nm} elchan May 30, 17:28

Any suggestions where to put H$cash? I have way too much sitting around, but don't want to but/short a bunch of slow bleeders either. {nm} forlorne May 30, 09:35

Some generalities....Depends on how much cash you have It takes about 5B to be "all in" so yo have a way to go. Buy BONDS 20 May 30, 09:47

Thank you! I have 290 Starbonds, even those with low but + ROI. I mirror your fund as well. I have every fund except the few losers. forlorne May 30, 11:05

How to find slow bleeders: ndmaster May 30, 11:13

All in means buy them all. Buy BONDS 20 May 30, 19:56

Not quite $5B... {nm} ndmaster May 30, 20:04

Out of 1399 StarBonds, only 760 have release dates . If you are holding the best 290, you are down to dROI of .13 Buy BONDS 20 May 30, 20:11

203 @ 20,000 Shares + 33 @ 1 Share + Most eligible Bucket List ones which do not have a dROI. {nm} RotoHockeyYTD2013 May 31, 05:22

Not a thing if you're holding them short {nm} forlorne May 30, 12:15

Question about Starbond high/low seasonal prices socby19 May 28, 12:08

starbonds that were delisted during the old system and then re IPOed during the current system will be this way RazorHawk May 28, 17:06

Thanks. Second part of my question... socby19 May 28, 17:42

There is currently some kind of glitch in the game and seasonal highs/lows are acting weird {nm} RazorHawk May 29, 07:09

Great. Thanks. Found the old bond rating description from the wayback machine. Helps a little bit. {nm} socby19 May 29, 09:10
