If you have 25 and gain 10% today you will be at 27.5 tomorrow due to gaining 2.5. The next 10% will gain you 2.75 because you will then be gaining on not just your initial investment but also your gains. After 10 days you will end up with 64.84, not 50.

slow news day, how's a guy supposed to make H$$ {nm} autobot66 Oct 05, 07:56

Tuesdays and Wednesdays are StarBonds days! Thank Dude and KaiGee! {nm} PRodQuanta Oct 05, 08:00

i never play starbonds, don't like them {nm} autobot66 Oct 05, 08:14

You're missing out on easy money then... {nm} slappydavid Oct 05, 08:17

what is there not to like? a little math is involved and sure profits will follow... you are missing out if you are not playing them. Oleg Max Oct 05, 08:17

money not fast enough, don't like sitting back and waiting. {nm} autobot66 Oct 05, 08:28

look for opportunities in the next 3 months. allocate a portion of your port for bonds. you won't regret it... {nm} Oleg Max Oct 05, 08:38

i don't see huge profits from starbonds, don't see how its positive. {nm} autobot66 Oct 05, 08:45

It seems that there's usually not as much money to be made in Starbonds as hitting big on stocks, but there's also the benefit... Ruthian23 Oct 05, 08:54

If you had invested in DMART on Monday, by Tuesday you would've made $169,000 off a $360,000 investment. That's an awesome rate of return. stevie1der328 Oct 05, 08:58

Well some make more money than others. I agree that playing the % DROI game can yield relatively small profits - shorting a $1 starbond that bloopster Oct 05, 09:08

speaking of DROI...what's the best formula for it? I've found a few. Have had to just go off of ROI up to now... {nm} funnybillypro Oct 05, 09:48

I believe it's just the ROI divided by the number of days unitl the adjust. I remember some Starbond veteran once said focus on the DROIs bloopster Oct 05, 10:46

Link inside to previous forum thread on the topic... theun4gven Oct 05, 16:21

I think your math for calculating DROI is wrong. The formula you are using is a compounding interest formula. DROI isn't that complex bloopster Oct 05, 16:55

DROI is essentially a compound interest problem... theun4gven Oct 06, 10:13

Not sure if you'll see this but.... bloopster Oct 06, 15:45

I look ahead, but if you want to, there's usually cash to be made (usually a little, sometimes a lot) right up until bonds halt Ruthian23 Oct 05, 08:49

Easy money maybe (if you care to put in a little time) but not much fun. Personally, I wish they'd get rid of them. WHAAAA? :) {nm} amnesiac Oct 05, 09:01

Don't want to have to pay so much attention to STARBONDS for little 169 K Profits. {nm} autobot66 Oct 05, 09:06

no offense, autobot66, but it looks like your port was started back in 2000 and I am not sure Oleg Max Oct 05, 09:15

I have taken of years at a time from this game. of those 11 years only truly played 4-5 on and off {nm} autobot66 Oct 05, 09:23

Look if you want to invest 30 mill in a 2012 summer blockbuster right now and hope to get a million in profits by Christmas, be my guest. stevie1der328 Oct 05, 09:18

OK have 333 Mill sitting around Ill dive into startbonds and see what happens {nm} autobot66 Oct 05, 10:24

Remember when everyone was screaming "My port is bleeding red" for a couple weeks. Those weeks I was part of the top 100 traders... skamanfu Oct 05, 09:40

If u just concentrate on news, u are just having a piece of the pie, every dollar counts if u wanna make serious dough {nm} karspov Oct 05, 09:10

I'm with autot66 on this one. Muad' Dib Oct 05, 09:38

I wish, at the very least, we had seperate leaderboards for both moviestocks and starbonds in addition to one based on total net worth. {nm} amnesiac Oct 05, 10:17

Great idea! {nm} Muad' Dib Oct 05, 11:09
