Starbond adjustment is an adjustment to starbond value based on the average of their last movies...
Starbonds are usually the least intuitive of the bonds available on HSX for investment. When a movie delists, a starbond adjustment takes place for any actors/actresses credited to the delisting movie. This is a routine alignment of TAG value.
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 + Film2 + Film3 + Film4 + Film5 / 5
* Four films in TAG = Film1 + Film2 + Film3 + Film4 / 4
* Three films in TAG = Film1 + Film2 + Film3 / 3
* Two films in TAG = Film1 + Film2 / 3
* One film in TAG = Film1 / 3
Starbonds are low risk and reliable investments, but they take time to mature. You can calculate these yourself or use tools initally to get you started. My favorite are:

Again, I hope this helps...Other players will now add the things I forgot to talk about.

Every Starbond has a TAG - Trailing Average Gross - which is an average of the last five (or fewer) movies they were in. Nov 07, 19:34
Oh that helps greatly! Nice to understand this thing a bit more now, thanks all! {nm} Nov 07, 20:05
