I made a spreadsheet.

Posted by: DTravel on Jan 27, 12:45 in response to goodvibe61's post Can we talk about Star Bond Management?

It will read the stock pages on HSX of the movies I add to it and the list of Starbond prices, then calculate the expected change in TAG and compare it to the current SB price for all the active SBs. It took me a few months to fully flesh out and get all the calculations working right but I've been using it daily for some years now. It does take some time and effort to maintain as attachment changes and updates after adjust have to be done manually but usually I've made necessary updates and made trades within half an hour each day.

I can't speak for anyone else, but for me, Starbonds are long term investments. I do not day trade them at all. Rocket Jan 27, 10:14

PS, I recognize you are higher in the LTD board than I, but my response is not exclusively for you :) {nm} Rocket Jan 27, 10:17

Thanks. Good tips - Particularly like your point about movies still in theaters - tricky for back-to-back TAGs {nm} ballpark_frank Jan 27, 10:57

I used a spreadsheet when I ran the Oscar Fund. Too much work for me now. {nm} Rocket Jan 27, 15:59

A couple things: I assume you have tons of cash sitting around, why not max every bond? Bond_Port Jan 27, 13:46

Not every Starbond is profitable. Many won't adjust by enough to cover the commissions on the trades. {nm} DTravel Jan 27, 15:32

I meant every bond they hold. Obviously, I didn't mean to take a position in every bond. That was one of my main points of my IM. {nm} Bond_Port Jan 27, 17:22

Sorry, misunderstood. {nm} DTravel Jan 28, 11:12

Also, I mean, Jesus, you are ranked number 15 ALL TIME. Come on... {nm} Bond_Port Jan 27, 13:47

True... but his is an excellent conversation starter. We used to share this Rocket Jan 27, 16:03
