that doesn't mean that I'm no longer learning things about port management each day. When i'm in the mood to play, i like to see results. And I do hope to drive a little conversation for players who are looking to improve their performance and their standing. 

I don't hold every bond long. I often wonder if I'm doing the right thing. Like mentioned above, if it's not worth it to max out due to a pending bond delist, then it's not a smart play. 

also, there are many, MANY bonds who trend in a direction OPPosite of the direction they SHOULD be going. Do ou ever jump on that train, or do you just go for the long play and absorb the temporary losses until a TAG finally approaches and the stock moves in your direction?

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

I made a spreadsheet. DTravel Jan 27, 12:45

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

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
