Well, of course, but my point was that the arb hasn't been a stronger factor. (nm) Patient Player Sep 18, 15:40

I guess I needed to have explicitly explained that point to avoid misunderstanding. Sorry. (nm) Patient Player Sep 18, 15:46

Finding it hard to believe that BWDOW will do triple digits at beginning of Nov but it keeps getting bid up.0 {nm} RBlaine Sep 16, 15:19

Is investing in starbonds even worth it? jimhogarth Aug 18, 14:38

StarBonds (which weren't designed to act like real-world bonds) have behavioral quirks that require investors to look at them differently Patient Player Aug 18, 19:02

Oh, in response to your last question: Yes, when I used to have more time for research, I caught some nice profitable bounces in bonds. (nm) Patient Player Aug 18, 19:38

Starbonds can be reliably and safely profitable IF you do the research and math. Many can't or won't.. DTravel Aug 18, 21:02

Not a whole lot going on with them right now. {nm} ndmaster Aug 18, 21:09

When starting , Starbonds can make up a considerable part of your Portfolio Shirtavius Aug 19, 10:43

Should HSX change the way it treats streaming movies? jimhogarth Aug 18, 13:31

This has been asked/suggested many many times. It comes down to "How do you measure their take?" DTravel Aug 18, 13:36

Fair enough. Still, with the way things are going, I feel like change is needed... Otherwise, we lose a good chunk of the industry {nm} jimhogarth Aug 18, 14:00

I understand and I don't mean to be a complete Grinch. We just need some kind of objective, preferably 3rd party, numbers to base it on. {nm} DTravel Aug 18, 15:52
