        It does seem to me if a person still has movies coming out they shouldn't delist until the adjusts are finished. - pmb Jun 20, 15:40 4
        
        Originally the star bonds (when they were bonds) were meant to signal an actors ability to pull audiences to a film. - iSpam Jun 20, 16:26 1
        
        if the idea to prevent speculation cashing in on a death, then delist at current price prevents day traders from shorting/reversing - zeitgeist Jun 20, 18:21
