Playing & Trading Strategy

I used a spreadsheet when I ran the Oscar Fund. Too much work for me now. {nm}

Posted by: Rocket (a.k.a Rocket123) on Jan 27, 15:59 in response to DTravel's post I made a spreadsheet.

Can we talk about Star Bond Management? goodvibe61 Jan 27, 09:52

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

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

Yes; i put this on here to hopefully drive some conversation about it. And while I'm way up there rankings wise.... goodvibe61 Jan 27, 16:41

Personally I will hold based on what the math says. I don't try to chase the daily wobbles and herd movements. Saves a lot on commissions. {nm} DTravel Jan 27, 21:19

Personally, I never jump on that train. Set it and forget it. {nm} Rocket Jan 27, 21:26

For me, the trickiest part of managing star bonds are limited release films that they may be attached to CButera Jan 27, 15:00

I "play through" the zero reported box office movie. Rocket Jan 27, 16:02

I'm with you; the overall change in a star's TAG can really throw you for a loop if you miss it. Keep you hopping for sure. goodvibe61 Jan 27, 18:27

I pretty much wait until a movie opens to take positions in the attached bonds, unless it's something that will obviously.... bchicken Jan 28, 18:06

DESM4 News today was nice for some bonds {nm} ndmaster Jan 28, 21:03

Today is a great example of the complexities of Star Bond Management! Long term is great if you see it. {nm} goodvibe61 Jan 28, 22:35
