"I dont get it. Please explain the upside to playing 'Bucket List' bonds when they delist at their TAGs?"
First read everything that DTravel posted in this thread. DTravel is good. DTravel is wise.
Starbonds who have not released a movie in 3 years and are not attached to any upcoming projects are eligible to be delisted at their TAG value (at HSX's descretion... directors usually get a little more time and sometimes so do popular and/or favorite actors).
There is profit to be made by investing in The Bucket List, but it is only practical for larger ports because these delists only happen randomly every couple of months (usually 2-3 times a year). It also ties up money with no guarentee of a profit (any starbond on the list could be attached to any project, or any future project not yet listed on HSX, at any time).
If you do have the larger port, you do have the money to invest with, and/or you still want to know how investing in The Bucket List starbonds *could* make you money, here is the info:
Starbonds delist at TAG. The longer a starbond goes without a project, the more shares that players end up dumping and the price ends up not matching the TAG after a while. You invest at the current price of the starbond and it delists at its TAG.
Examples of current starbonds listed on The Bucket List:
RNICH current price: $59.28 current TAG: $89.46
= difference of 30.18 points (* 20k shares = $603,600)
*IF* you were to invest in RNICH and *IF* they were not attached to any future projects *AND* they were dead delisted *THEN* you could/would make a profit.
DFOLE current price: $38.05 current TAG: $63.81
= difference of 25.76 points (* 20k shares = $515,200)
*IF* you were to invest in DFOLE and *IF* they were not attached to any future projects *AND* they were dead delisted *THEN* you could/would make a profit.
It is really a guessing game. There is no warning when the dead delists will happen and no way of knowing which starbonds will be spared and which ones will be delisted. This is just a list of starbonds that are currently eligible for the process with any helpful information to help players out (directors usually get more time so an "+" is added by their name; starbonds who released projects that did not report box office usually get more time and have an "exception rule" added to their entry; starbonds attached to projects that have not been listed at HSX yet get a "*" next to their name with a description; etc)....
