Any more news on High Frontier?&nbsp;&nbsp;I see the cover image is up and the game is slated for release in October... any news on the physical production side?

The price seems to put it in the league of Origins... will the board be mounted and cards etc finished and cut? 

Not that it bothers me either way - just curious as to whether the experience with Origins will influence future games...

In any case - I am very much looking forward to this one!

Cheers,

			<description><![CDATA[I had a couple of questions that came up and I was wondering if anyone knew the answers.
1) Can people (Fauna) move back and forth to Africa once the continental drift has occurred and the African plate moved off?
2) When the continental drift occurs, can the predators in the predator triangle move with the biome?
3) When Africa moves off do you leave the now empty square empty? Does the associated sea in the hex grow to size 4 to compensate?
3) Does the Dogface still get to grow in the predator phase if it is in omnivore stage? This was brought up because it seems like the herbivores associated with a predator would get the chance to grow or shrink twice in one round as well. IS there some way to distinguish this?

Thanks!]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Stocks Worth Buying Again
It's always fascinating to read stories about average, everyday people who built fortunes by regularly investing small amounts over long periods of time.
But you can also get market-beating returns by buying into great companies at more opportune times -- whenever the stock goes on sale. Rather than regularly investing small, fixed amounts, investors can use the simple method of buying a stock in portions to manage risk and boost returns. And now would definitely count as one of those opportune times to buy cheap stocks.
First, find a solid business 
Of course, every situation is different, but big returns on investments always come on the backs of fundamentally strong businesses. And if you're confident that you've purchased shares in a great company, why wouldn't you consider buying again, particularly if the stock price is significantly below intrinsic value? Especially in pessimistic markets, fundamentally strong businesses can be bought for good prices.
For large, stable companies, buying more shares when the outlook is bleak can be especially rewarding. For younger, riskier companies, a strategy of acquiring shares in portions is a smart play. It limits your initial outlay and reduces your exposure to significant drops, should the company falter or broader economic conditions change.
Even after a brutal 2008, in which Best Buy lost more than 60% of its value at one point, shares have rebounded over the long haul. They're now up more than 350% from their 2000 low. Even after this rebound, investors with a long-term view still may find great opportunities in stocks that have been beaten down by larger economic conditions that will likely prove temporary in retrospect.
Buy again 
Investors who focused on the underlying businesses, rather than the stock prices, were more likely to turn the event into an opportunity.
The final caveat with this method is to ensure that you aren't throwing good money at a truly deteriorating company -- hence the importance of understanding the underlying business.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Is This the Market Bottom?
The news isn't pretty: Earlier this week, the S&P 500 closed below 700 -- its lowest level since October 1996. This hurts, there’s no doubt. And as we watch stocks fall to new lows day after day, it seems as if the market's slide will never end.
But while these sorts of apocalyptic figures make for exciting minute-by-minute updates, they're not much use to you. They don't say anything about how stocks will behave in the future, which is what actually matters when you're deciding how to invest today. That's one reason investors always ask, "Is this the market bottom?"
Well, is it? 
Opinions vary. 
But last fall, in a New York Times op-ed piece, superinvestor Warren Buffett compared today's overwhelming pessimism to 1932, 1942, and the 1980s -- all fantastic times to buy stocks. Lately he's been adding shares of Burlington Northern (NYSE: BNI) and Ingersoll-Rand (NYSE: IR). Although Buffett doesn't try to time market bottoms, his urge to "be fearful when others are greedy, and be greedy when others are fearful" has helped him to make eerily prescient moves in the past.
When he says it's time to buy, it pays to listen.
One approach to answering the question 
Using historical data from Standard & Poor's, my research shows that the average of the lowest quarter-end price-to-earnings ratio (P/E) during all recessions since 1937 is 11.7. With the S&P trading at 11.9 times earnings, we've about hit that point.
Another Great Depression? 
With comparisons between the Great Depression and the Great Wipeout of 2008 growing ever louder, a simple worst-case approach is to look at how Depression investors fared.
According to the National Bureau of Economic Research, we're 14 months into this recession, and thus far, the S&P 500 index has lost 52%. Fourteen months into the Great Depression (January 1931), investors were down only 46%.
But while the stock market was hit harder in 2008, economic conditions were far uglier in 1930.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Its Time to Buy
Even though stocks had already fallen dramatically since the October 1929 market crash, investors who bought in January 1931 were down another 71% by May 1932. This goes to show how difficult it is to time market bottoms, and it demonstrates that even though stocks have fallen considerably, they could still fall even more.
That's actually not so bad … 
The good news is that it doesn't much matter whether you accurately time the bottom.
See, conventional wisdom holds that the Depression was a bad time to be an investor. Excitable market commentators like to cite the statistic that it took until 1954 -- 25 years! -- for the market to return to its 1929 levels.
That figure is true, but misleading. It assumes that investors put all of their money into stocks just before the market crash, stopped purchasing stocks thereafter, and never collected dividends.
Remember, we're now 14 months into this recession -- not at its starting point. So for the sake of symmetry, let's ask how long it actually took new money invested 14 months into the Depression (January 1931) to break even. The answer is less than five years. And an investor who continued to purchase stocks on a monthly basis would have broken even in little more than two years.]]></description>

Trading stocks. You hear that phrase all the time, although it really is wrong – you don’t trade stocks like baseball cards (I’ll trade you 100 IBMs for 100 Intels).
Trade = Buy or Sell
To “trade” means to buy and sell in the jargon of the financial markets. How a system that can accommodate one billion shares trading in a single day works is a mystery to most people. No doubt, our financial markets are marvels of technological efficiency.
Yet, they still must handle your order for 100 shares of Acme Kumquats with the same care and documentation as my order of 100,000 shares of MegaCorp.
You don’t need to know all of the technical details of how you buy and sell stocks, however it is important to have a basic understanding of how the markets work. If you want to dig deeper, there are links to articles explaining the technical side of the markets.

			<description><![CDATA[What is Day Trading?

Day trading (and trading in general) is the buying and selling of various financial instruments, such as futures, options, currencies, and stocks, with the goal of making a profit from the difference between the buying price and the selling price. Day trading differs slightly from other styles of trading in that positions are rarely (if ever) held overnight or when the market being traded is closed.
Day trading was originally only available to financial companies (such as banks), because only they had access to the exchanges and market data. But with recent technology such as the Internet, individual traders now have direct access to the same exchanges and market data, and can make the same trades at very low cost.
Characteristics of a Day Trader 
•	Knowledge and Experience in the Marketplace 
Individuals who attempt to day trade without an understanding of market fundamentals often end up losing money. 
•	Sufficient Capital 
One cannot expect to make money day trading. Day traders use only risk capital, which they can afford to lose. Not only does this protect them from financial ruin, but it also helps eliminate emotion from their trading. A large amount of capital is often necessary to capitalize effectively on intra-day price movements. 
•	A Strategy&nbsp;&nbsp;
A trader needs an edge over the rest of the market. There are several different strategies that day traders utilize, including: swing trading, arbitrage as well as trading news, among others. These strategies are refined until they produce consistent profits and effectively limit losses.
•	Discipline 
A profitable strategy is useless without discipline. Many day traders end up losing a lot of money because they fail to make trades that meet their own criteria. As they say, “Plan the trade and trade the plan.” Success is impossible without discipline.

			<title><![CDATA[Some rules questions]]></title>

			<description><![CDATA[Hello all,

I picked up this neat game a couple of weeks ago and have read the rules (2nd edition, with the copyright date of 1996), and the errata, and I have also played about 3 hours solo. I still have some questions though:

1) Has anyone found a way to denote ownership of the bandit counters on the map? I mean, they're all red, and they all look the same...I was thinking of maybe putting a coloured euro-style block on top of the counter matching the colour of the player. 

2) A mine can be partially burned, yes? Can it be repaired after being burned? How? I was thinking of using the same rule as for partially burned smelters: 2 Au to restore each burn hit.

3) I was playing solo with 2 imaginary players, and ran into this scenario. When I flipped the quarterly card, it was a bandit unit. In the auction phase, player 1 won the card. Player 2 did not have any cards except for his starting hacienda. In the tactical round segment, player 1 started moving around burning and looting player 2's hacienda (when player 2 saw the bandit coming, he ran into a city block because he doesn't have police protection on his hacienda if it shows it as not being in the city block, right?) and mine. My question is this: since he has no protection, could the bandits conceivably make 45 or so attempts to kidnap the hacendado, since the he doesn't have any troop cards to protect him? I understand that if the hacendado has run into a city block, the bandits would have to possibly deal with the police, but that aside, is there anything the poor hacendado player can do? I was thinking of adding my own rule, similar to the 'buried goods' rule (11.53) that once an attempt has been made on the hacendado, he can go into hiding if he wasn't found on the first try. On any subsequent turn, or next quarter, he can reveal himself and act normally. If this rule isn't in effect, pretty much 1 bandit can go around kidnapping any hacendado if the other players don't have a combat counter to deal with them, right?

4) Taxation (rule 10.8) - do the taxes gathered by Orange counters come from the opposing player's card, or does it come from the treasury. I would have thought the former, but in the errata, it says that if there is no money at the location, it can still be taxed by Orange counters if it made money that turn - although it still doesn't say if it comes from opposing player's money or the treasury. 

That's it! I think this is a really neat game, and I'm almost ready to have it hit the table with my friends!

Thanks for your time.]]></description>
