I guess I am consideered an "expert" so here are my suggestions:

Posted by: Buy StarBond Fund (a.k.a mrbinns) on Nov 03, 06:55 in response to PRodQuanta's post Starbond Strategy Help

1) the basis of this game is MovieStocks. With a small port, you should not have more than 30Pct in StarBonds.

2) the trick to StarBonds is dROI. Never lose sight of that. A 50 point gain a year away does you less good than a 5 point gain in 2 weeks. On the other hand, a 5 point gain on a H$30 StarBond may not be as good as a H$ 2 gain on a H$ 10 StarBond. Both KaiGee and the-numbers have dROI showing, although the-numbers is harder to sort.

BUT, look at dROI this morning and almost all of the top gainers adjust in the next 2 weeks (No 17 on the list is a huge percentage gain, but in January)

In running BONDS, I try to invest in the highest dROI and dump those that have low dROI. I check it weekly or even more frequently.

I see players saying "set it and forget it" That works with a portfolio of H$7B for sure, not for a smaller port. I love the PABS and use it as a tool. BUT RH does not use dROI to put the changes into context. It is a necessary part of the equation.

In HSX, as well as real life, there are constantly 3 choices in the market. Hold? Sell? Buy?

The wise buy gets the best bang for the buck the quickest.

That is why Weekend Openers, Calls and Puts are so important. Quick gains. Get in. Get out. Move on.

I use a hold & forget strategy with starbonds, I normally only check in when they get added to new movies or get detached from non-reporting {nm} lapuckfan Nov 02, 12:04

I follow KaiGee's starbond adjust webpage (found in the community drop down). If you follow correctly, Starbonds are guaranteed $$ {nm} dioneta Nov 02, 14:56

As an aside... I never hold a stock past an adjust unless the next one is in the same direction {nm} dioneta Nov 02, 14:57

if there is going to be a very large up or down adjust, but too far intot he future to hold that lone, i will buy or short for 1 or 2 days. forlorne Nov 02, 15:46

I don't discriminate wrt port size. Good advice is good advice. Thanks. {nm} PRodQuanta Nov 02, 15:21

I should stipulate, I go by the Dude and KaiGee. All of my stocks are held correctly according to these two sources, but some still go red? {nm} PRodQuanta Nov 02, 15:20

They may go red before they adjust due to speculative trading... Kaigee's numbers are based off of current trading.. dioneta Nov 02, 15:25
