Increasing the CAP will actually

Posted by: Sleprock on Jun 07, 05:18 in response to Wit's post TAG Cap

make the gains less easy because the bond prices will fluctuate more. But, even if you consider it "easy money", it's already capped by the 20k quantity limit.  Also, isn't the point of star bonds to tie HSX star value to the movies that the stars appear in? If a star is in a movie that grosses $250, and another is in a movie that grosses $500, why should they be valued the same? I totally agree that the 250 cap is outdated and should be increased!

The point of the cap is to keep the price shift to a max of H$50. Too much easy money already. {nm} Antibody Jun 06, 17:31

That's okay because any "easy money" we make on bonds, we lose on HSX's awful stock IPOs {nm} diamondman56 Jun 07, 04:39

is the 1 stock you own a starbond? {nm} RazorHawk Jun 07, 06:01

I generally make easy money shorting IPO's {nm} JohnTEQP Jun 13, 22:07

So, a max price shift of h$60 instead of H$50 is way too much? {nm} Wit Jun 07, 07:46

Yes, they add up. {nm} Antibody Jun 07, 09:24

FWIW...times 20,000 shares, that's an easy $1.2M in 4 weeks...times 5-6 blockbusters...times how ever many traders {nm} tealfan Jun 07, 09:26

Actually, it's only a difference of H$200K from the current Tag Cap, not 1.2M, Wit Jun 07, 12:44

The bigger the wave, the bigger the profit. Stars that appear in $500M movies aren't really the reason they make $500M Antibody Jun 07, 09:22

...and stars that appear in small indie films aren't the reason they don't make $500M. Sleprock Jun 07, 09:37

I don't understand your response. The indie film gross is closer to their true star bankability value. Giving them more box office Antibody Jun 07, 10:13

Yes, I agreeJust agreeing that there are a lot of factors- even the hottest BO draws often have Sleprock Jun 07, 12:12

It makes the gains easier for big portfolios with more cash than they know what to do with. For them, it's a matter of buying and waiting. {nm} RogerMore Jun 07, 13:07
