the great thing about bonds is that the latest film can do significantly better or worse than expected, and the bond will still go in the same basic direction is was heading before, just not quite as far.

When you play the openers, you use the 2.7 multiplier and then whatever the opening gross is. Because the weekend gross counts for half the equation, it can wildly affect the price a moviestock, which is why you see 10, 15, 20 point adjusts on Sunday. With bonds, though, there are always five numbers to consider, and at the next adjust only one of them changes (you replace the last with the latest).

An easy way to figure the direction of the next adjust, along with a reasonable estimate of the amount of the adjust is this:

Using BPITT as an example

BSTRD is the next release. Priced at 71 (rounded up).

count 6 down to find the movie that will be dropped when BSTRD is added and you see:

BABEL, which delisted at 17 (rounded up)

71 minus 17=54.

54 divided by 5 (because 5 movies make up TAG) equals 10.8. BPITT's TAG should go upward by 10.8.

If the numbers were reversed and you did 17 minus 71, you'd finish the math with a negative 10.8, meaning he would adjust downward by that much.

As I said, it's just estimation, because the price of the new movie will change, but barring some serious Blair Witch success or Ishtar failure, Brad should still move significantly upward.

To make things easier, you can go to Project Genome, and they have charts with all the math done for you already

thanks! t think i'm actually starting to understand these starbonds... so correct me if i'm wrong... eyescovered Aug 11, 14:43

You are correct on both counts! She should be up H$12 and change from *Previous TAG* or a buck or two from here. {nm} shahnon Aug 11, 15:01

ok, thanks! it finally clicked! now i finally start playing starbonds. i know there's some big money in them... eyescovered Aug 11, 15:14

If you buy bonds with the best droi, you're port size will increase pretty quickly and very safely. Then you eventually have enough cash to Carlion Aug 11, 18:26
