Here's the info!

Posted by: Flash on Aug 05, 16:43 in response to CritterBug's post Need some help with StarBonds, how they are adjusted and...

Bonds are good investments, in the fact that you can tell what a bond is going to adjust to - up OR down, and that way you know what kind of profits you will earn in advance.  This is kind of like FOUND money, but be SURE you know HOW a bond will adjust before you buy one....you need to know what their TAG is, and will one movie be dropping off while another one is added, etc....see the information below to learn more about TAG's....but bonds can be a good investment, and easy money - just be sure you know which way a Star Bond is adjusting next round, before you buy it.

TAG - or Trailing Gross Average...this info comes right from HSX's own Glossary, found in the HELP section:

This term represents a star's average total box-office performance over their last five credited films by release date. Each time a MovieStock featuring a particular star cashes out from the Movie Market, the box-office gross of the film (as reported to Exhibitor Relations Co.) is calculated into the star's TAG, and the bond price is adjusted to match. A maximum of five films are used in the TAG calculation divided by a minimum of three. The TAG is updated weekly with any additional box-office gross. A film's box-office gross in the TAG is capped at $250 million. StarBonds do not adjust in price for the first film in TAG, or for films which do not report box office to ERC.

StarBond TAG formula:

* Five films in TAG = Film1 gross + Film2 gross + Film3 gross + Film4 gross + Film5 gross, divided by 5
* Four films in TAG = Film1 gross + Film2 gross + Film3 gross  + Film4 gross, divided by 4
* Three films in TAG = Film1 gross + Film2 gross + Film3 gross, divided by 3
* Two films in TAG = Film1 gross + Film2 gross, divided by 3
* One film in TAG = Film1 gross, divided by 3
