CelebStock and StarBonds

With many movies doing so far above $250m, Sleprock May 07, 06:13

good luck with that one ndmaster May 07, 06:17

You mean like PBETT, the voice of the computer, last on the credit scroll, vs ZGALI ? 250 has worked to define "Blockbuster" for 10 years. Buy StarBond Fund 18 May 07, 07:05

I'll take a shot ndmaster May 07, 11:04

Ten years ago was ten years ago. Times change and so should the game. Which is precisely why it won't happen. {nm} Tanker May 08, 07:35

what benefit to the game would there be to increase the credit cap? {nm} RazorHawk May 07, 08:01

yeah i wonder, is there really any? i guess extra bucks occassionally but, if an actor is just dropping one 300 for another islander May 07, 08:05

...and would you only increase the cap for newly delisting movies? Jane_Citizen May 07, 22:04

Did those actors in AVNGR contribute more than those in HNOV2? Once you get above that high, you'll just "tagging" along to CG effects. {nm} Antibody May 07, 09:52

Thanks everyone, good points all. To me, the benefit would be more variability in SB pricing, and Sleprock May 07, 11:28

The rewards would be greater, but the risks would be lower. {nm} RogerMore May 07, 13:01

Yes, Robert Downy Jr. Made Avengers Great. I don't think it would have broke records if another actor was in his place. {nm} arf May 07, 21:36

I think $400 would be a nice cap. Inflation, IMAX, 3D, all of those weren't common to make Box office avg go up as we've seen {nm} arf May 07, 21:33

People, take another look at CHEMS, please. {nm} ndmaster May 06, 12:08

He's going the right direction last I checked for the next adjust. {nm} arf May 06, 13:28

finally! :^) {nm} ndmaster May 06, 14:19

I posted about CHEMS about 14 threads below, over a week ago. Just hold it right for CBNWD and you are ok... Buy StarBond Fund 18 May 06, 15:15

And now, GPALT. COme on, Sbonds aren't that hard! {nm} ndmaster May 06, 18:37

The profits are also not linked to how players are holding them. {nm} PVL Admin May 06, 18:42

Its just frustrating to see something you hold correctly to be moving in the wrong direction. {nm} ndmaster May 06, 21:05

I definately hear you. But, is it because people are buying the wrong way, or are they liquidating to afford other stuff? PVL Admin May 06, 22:36

It Doesn;t MATTER. As long as it is correct when the adjust occurs. It may be frustrating that you could have waited and gotten Buy StarBond Fund 18 May 07, 06:51

Add MSMTH to TBEMH? Variety credits her in their review. Link included. LonePirate May 06, 08:17

she is listed on the movie poster... RHAWK May 06, 09:17

Thanks, thought she was already attached.. JCHRI removed. {nm} Antibody May 06, 10:32

I only checked on it after seeing this thread {nm} RHAWK May 06, 11:00

[GMACH] is listed in the credits at the end of the trailer for today's IPO [ABHAM]; ASEYF isn't, even though she's the screenshot. Strange. {nm} Paul2k May 04, 09:53

Added, thanks. {nm} Antibody May 04, 16:08

kaigee is up jwammo May 03, 14:54

Yes I am. I'll post the data overview later. {nm} KaiGee May 03, 15:30

Thank You KaiGee! {nm} arf May 03, 22:38

thank you for your star bond adjust schedule-the best tool on HSX {nm} laujer May 08, 06:42

Are "Oscar Run" Movies counted toward StarBonds? Limited Release movie, listed on the exchange, with attached SBO -more- arf May 02, 19:26

HSX only counts BO reported to ERC. Jane_Citizen May 02, 21:19

How does one find out what ERC knows? {nm} arf May 05, 23:59

"news & events" ---> "box office" {nm} RHAWK May 06, 07:52

Or ask the HSX dude... Too bad some movies didn't report, I'd be RICH! :( {nm} arf May 06, 14:16

GRODR is not looking like she's credited for WTEXP (or even in the movie) Antibody May 02, 17:48

Zero Box Office Report 3 new additions thiw week..SEDIQ (no bonds), 96MIN and GMMAN ....HITSH removed from the list...more details Buy StarBond Fund 18 May 01, 21:35

One of this week's limited openers, by reporting a few bucks, means an attached StarBond will lose about 75 Pct of current value in 11 weeks {nm} mrbinns May 01, 12:09

I prefer the one that is losing 50% of it's value but is 20 times as much money {nm} JDolphin May 01, 15:52

With the cryptic hints, I end up finding a lot of good deals, probably will again on this snipe hunt. {nm} arf May 01, 21:03

Hmmm... looking at your list of possible May indictees, AMUEL is coming up for his second delist. Has any Starbond been delisted twice? {nm} RogerMore Apr 30, 18:56

I know I'm supposed to look it up myself; however, do starbonds halt the day before the adjust or something? Is this new? {nm} Ryan_Stewart Apr 30, 18:06

They halt one hour before the adjust (ish). Jane_Citizen Apr 30, 18:25

Im trying to do something with american reunioin actors and they have all halted {nm} Ryan_Stewart Apr 30, 18:35

The Starbond TAGs adjust at Monday night cashout, and the Starbonds are halted until the price adjust on the following day. {nm} RogerMore Apr 30, 18:37

Thanks RogerMore {nm} Ryan_Stewart Apr 30, 18:44

You can use the advanced trader to prep your post-starbond-adjust bond trades... Jane_Citizen Apr 30, 22:27

*Also terrible at taking my own advice. Perhaps it's because I don't give it to myself clearly. {nm} Jane_Citizen Apr 30, 22:27

Did you mean one day before the adjust? {nm} Ryan_Stewart Apr 30, 18:36

Sorry I'm *really* terrible at explaining things clearly. I must stop trying and just get out of everybody's way ;) Jane_Citizen Apr 30, 22:23

I'm going to double down on mrbinns' Jeopardy post, and point out that it's the eastern hemisphere that affects when these things happen to RogerMore May 01, 07:42

Thought I would point out that this info is on the calendar every week...starbonds adjusting on Tuesday, halt at 3pm PST on Monday {nm} lapuckfan May 01, 09:36

Coincindence? Two Homophonic last names will adjust to less than .70 in the next 3 weeks, losing virtually all of their current values. mrbinns Apr 29, 07:08

By 'next 3 weeks', hope you meant 'next 5 weeks'... {nm} nomyst Apr 29, 08:27

5,,,,at my age it seems like 3 {nm} mrbinns Apr 29, 10:01

Hehe, the fact remains that those are bonds to watch :D. {nm} nomyst Apr 29, 10:06

Got another hint? Such as the first letter of one? Perhaps I'm reading homo incorrectly. {nm} arf Apr 29, 23:28

This might rank up there in poor wordplay but ... catch me if I can. {nm} fred_ott Apr 29, 23:45

Or a Star Trek villain... {nm} BSmurf Apr 30, 10:09

GOOOOOOOOOOORRRRNN!!!? {nm} RogerMore Apr 30, 10:37

DeNiro isn't it, and too far out, but I think I found them, one is just single digits though. {nm} arf Apr 30, 12:00

Homophones are 2 words spelled differently but pronounced the same, such as aye and eye...or in Texas, awl, all and oil. {nm} mrbinns Apr 30, 11:22

For some reason I was thinking of Homograph - e.g. bear and bare, which almost applies here as well. {nm} arf Apr 30, 14:16

and I was wondering what anyone had against gays {nm} Ryan_Stewart Apr 30, 18:05

I did some rather offensive searches when I first saw the post ... Jane_Citizen Apr 30, 18:26

bear and bare are homophones - because they sound the same, but are spelled differently. Homographs are spelled the same but have different RogerMore Apr 30, 19:11

I'll take liguistics for 800 Alex.... mrbinns Apr 30, 20:57

How much money can AVNGR make in StarBonds? There are 12 SBO's attached, other than CHEMS, which, if you mrbinns Apr 28, 10:54

Sorry, in proofreading the above, I left off the total gained... mrbinns Apr 28, 10:56

I am "All In" on the Avenger cast, can't afford the stock itself, so this is the next best thing. Bonds are much more reliable. {nm} arf Apr 28, 19:48

You know, you do have 176 other securities you could see SO THAT you could afford the stock. That you opt not too is your choice. {nm} PVL Admin Apr 28, 23:26

Maybe it's your brain telling your just to go for the sure money. {nm} JDolphin Apr 29, 21:43

That's part of it, but I gave in and took about a $OMG Million hit on commissions buying into 50k of .OW and 50k of AVNGR itself {nm} arf Apr 30, 12:19

As shown in this featurette, CLEE has a cameo in DRKSHW. He hasn't appeared in credits yet, so it may not be attach-worthy. Paul2k Apr 27, 13:36

by the way, thx, Kaigee! {nm} tealfan Apr 27, 07:44

I found an interesting example of why context is needed wth respect to the Post Adjust Bond Show, with respect to dROI.... Buy StarBond Fund 18 Apr 26, 12:46

bond1=best islander Apr 26, 12:48

perfect example of the flaw with droi RazorHawk Apr 26, 15:21

Like every other factor in making Starbond investments, dROI is a tool that can be used and/or ignored by traders as appropriate. RogerMore Apr 26, 17:48

This was not meant as a criticism of your hard work. Only to point out context necessary to make good use of it. mrbinns Apr 26, 20:15

um... (don't know what to put here ~ again) RHAWK Apr 26, 21:48

Um..How can we search for Fembot's thoughts on trading? {nm} dioneta Apr 27, 14:53

um... RHAWK Apr 26, 20:50

I suppose it depends what your definition of fun is. RogerMore Apr 26, 23:07

"If It Makes You Happy.... RHAWK Apr 27, 09:04

half of my message is missing :( {nm} RHAWK Apr 27, 09:05

Hmmm... if you don't day-trade and you don't use dROI, what Starbond tool do you use? RogerMore Apr 27, 10:09

he says they're attached to the same movie, so surely they adjust over the same period {nm} Jane_Citizen Apr 27, 00:35

um... RHAWK Apr 27, 08:20

to wit: Jane_Citizen Apr 28, 19:08

No {nm} RHAWK Apr 29, 09:47

Yes, for the purposes of comparing the three examples it is. {nm} Jane_Citizen Apr 30, 17:34

no it isn't... RHAWK Apr 30, 20:18

Answers...(no fair peeking until you have an answer written down) Buy StarBond Fund 18 Apr 26, 12:52

Fantastic debate between some of the heavy hitters! srrichardson Apr 26, 23:07

In my experience, actual dROI (rather than calculated dROI) is larger for movies that have a higher next adjust over a span of 3 days. PRodQuanta Apr 27, 11:08

Implying that I actually use a mix of both investment strategies and it works great. Thanks to both of you. {nm} PRodQuanta Apr 27, 11:10

Heh - I thought I knew what you meant until I read your IM. {nm} RogerMore Apr 27, 13:28

I am not sure what you mean because your terminology is off....BUT Buy StarBond Fund 18 Apr 27, 20:33

I'm assuming dROI is daily Return On Investment (this very well could be wrong, I haven't checked). My explanation is inside PRodQuanta Apr 28, 09:13

This excludes any bounce phenomena {nm} PRodQuanta Apr 28, 09:31

This is known as the Bounce. It's something that mrbinns (in particular) does very well, and I assume it's what Razorhawk does also. RogerMore Apr 28, 09:39

(Oh actually, it's not the Bounce - but I think my IM still has it) {nm} RogerMore Apr 28, 09:41

Yes, I believe you have the gist. Playing the players/the bounce is somewhat different. It boils down to dROI ~ 1.5ROI in first ~1.5 days. {nm} PRodQuanta Apr 28, 10:28

I'd short all 3. If they become popular, you can sell at the estimated delist early, otherwise, you will at least cover the 2%, likely more {nm} arf Apr 28, 22:41

Double Adjusts - need a refresher.. Example: BDECK has two adjustments on 6/12, WTEXP and BTSHP. Which will definitely occur first? {nm} arf Apr 24, 17:54

double adjusts.... RazorHawk Apr 24, 17:57

Thank you, my brain apparently stopped for a moment when looking at the way the-numbers displays things. {nm} arf Apr 24, 22:16
