nothing happens to your shares between phases...they cash out only at delist (i.e. after 4th or 12th weekend of release) {nm} tealfan May 25, 12:10

when did the share limit go to 150K per moviestock? islndr May 23, 07:39

A little over a year ago, if I recall correctly. {nm} Grunt May 23, 19:17

Same time the the limit was raised on almost all securities. :P {nm} DTravel May 23, 20:38

thanks. was thinking it was years ago but now realize i was probably thinkng about the 50k to 100k jump way back {nm} islndr May 24, 05:33

I only recently started playing again. When (and why) did Star Bonds stop paying interest? {nm} Taopuppy May 26, 15:20

If they ever did it ended before I started playing in 2010 {nm} DTravel May 26, 16:08

They originally paid a LOT of interest - as in truckloads every day. Common practice back then was to load up on the very low-rated project May 27, 18:47

Eliminating Interest Income altogether would be a Great Idea. Interest does nothing for the HSX Game. RotoHockeyYTD2014 May 14, 14:08

Elimination of Interest Income might Encourage CASH HOARDERS to Invest in more HSX Securities. RotoHockeyYTD2014 May 14, 14:09

Its not up to you to tell others how to play the game. {nm} DTravel May 14, 23:19

See Thread Below. Captain Obvious May 15, 00:19

Isn't this the forum where players seek advice on Playing & Trading Strategy??? Patient Player May 15, 04:21

There is a difference between advising others and haranging and bullying them to do something. {nm} DTravel May 15, 07:43

I don't see any haranging or bullying. Where do you? {nm} Patient Player May 16, 12:14

"Cash Hoarders" {nm} DTravel May 16, 13:02

DEFINITION: 'CASH HOARDERS' - Ports That HOARD Large Amounts Of CASH Instead Of Investing In Eligible HSX Securities. NOTE the Word INSTEAD. Captain Obvious May 16, 13:40

CASH HOARDERS have been known to Whine about Low HSX Interest Rates. {nm} Captain Obvious May 16, 13:41

RECOMMENDED: The Elimination of HSX Interest. HSX Interest does nothing for the HSX Game. {nm} Captain Obvious May 16, 13:42

The Elimination of HSX Interest is a RECOMMENDED HSX PLAYING STRATEGY. NOTE: There is No Strategy to HOARDING CASH INSTEAD of Investing. {nm} Captain Obvious May 16, 14:07

NOTE: When HSX Interest Rates were Massive & they were, Mega-Billionaires had a Distinct & Grossly Unfair Advantage for Daily PROFIT Gains. {nm} Captain Obvious May 16, 16:25

NOTE: When HSX Interest Rates were Massive & they were, HSX Interest did absolutely Nothing for the HSX Game. Time for Interest Elimination. {nm} Captain Obvious May 16, 16:27

NOTE: No CASH HOARDER is being Forced to make more Investments. The Elimination of HSX Interest might Encourage them to Invest more. {nm} Captain Obvious May 16, 16:31

I rest my case. {nm} DTravel May 16, 16:57

Nobody is Forcing you to make more HSX Investments. You are Free to HOARD as much CASH as you want. Nothing prevents you from CASH HOARDING. {nm} Captain Obvious May 16, 18:09

The Elimination of HSX Interest would almost certainly Improve the HSX Game. It definitely would not make it any Worse. {nm} Captain Obvious May 16, 18:54

Polite posting would run less risk of misunderstanding, I think. {nm} Patient Player May 17, 01:41

So, Captain Obvious is a haranguer. Patient Player May 17, 01:33

That and he posts the profiles of players he feels don't own enough securities and posts those kinds of tirades about them for it. {nm} DTravel May 17, 13:06

Or have I misunderstood the intended examples? {nm} Patient Player May 17, 01:48

Nope. Understood perfectly. Entire Postings were about a Recommendation to Improve the HSX Game & to Encourage more HSX Investments. {nm} Captain Obvious May 17, 16:33

It won't. Players are not refraining from buying securities in order to earn interest on the cash. {nm} DTravel May 17, 21:18

... you know ... "how to play the game"? {nm} Patient Player May 15, 04:24

So all that said, where is the adjustment to Interest Rates? Its stuck at 0.25% {nm} Alby Jun 25, 20:44
