$Mini-Game Trading Session 4

[Kuciwalker]

Ok, I don't see how selling for a high value is bad, but I'll change my vote to no.

Yes, Nimitz, you can edit your post as much as you want until he session is over.

You don't edit your post you quote it and post changes underneath your quote. (Otherwise people would edit old proposals after the market closed to get extra $)

Let me explain the Shares thing. I've created Skywalker Corporation, and there are currently 10 shares valued at $100 (as my total worth is $1000). If you buy 1 share, you'll get 10% of all profits each turn (the turn after you buy the share). It's simple.

Also, I'd like to hire someone to administer my assets in the future, as I'll soon be gone way too much to participate in trading sessions. To qualify, you must be able to access most or all of the trading sessions near the end, so you can get the best price for my goods. Every Sunday (except this one), which is the only day I'll really be able to get on, I'll want a report on my money and holdings, the general state of the market, some specific things that people have done, etc. In return for your services, you will receive 15% of all profits each turn, BEFORE stock.

Change: Bid 10$ for one french worker.

QUESTION: Has any of the fndemental rules changed? The original D:S for the products seem higher now. I didnt remember anything that started over $300 like food and commerce do now, but perhaps it has always been like that.

QUESTION: IS there any penalty for declaring that you want to sell at D:S, like 10% or somethn?

Yes, we basicaly took out the double counting of nobles goods. The original formula listed our production as supply and we competed against our own product.

If you "sell @ D:S" the government takes out the greater of a $5 or 10% fee PER COMMODITY (That's $10 or 10% of sale price for two food) as a fee. That way those who actively try to guess the ending price have a chance to make a little more.

Yipee! Someone bought my stock!

This corporation better get off the gorund... and if it does, Yipee!

When is the first share holders' meeting? I assume all share holders are on a board, or have some say in the corporation somehow?

[GhengisFarbâ„¢]

Note, we have not discovered the Corporation OR stock. You don't own stock, you "own a piece of skywalker."

Now what you plan on doing with "a piece of skywalker" is your business.

I'll bet there's a few more Apolytonians that would like "a piece of skywalker."

In that case, I will try and squeeze every penny I can, at least until I get this debt paid off.

EDIT: Updated my selling prices

If you really want to, we'll have a meeting every 5 trading sessions. However, as I don't intend on ever selling more than 50% of the stock, they'll be pretty worthless.

[Kramerman]

Aw crap. I messed up on the commerce D:S. I overlooked the new D:S / 2 deal. I'll fix that, along with my selling prices *groan* again...

HINT: If you look at the prices I offered to sell at you'll get a good idea where the ending price should be.

The D:S starts high but should drop drastically as our product fills demand.

If you've already offered your product its already in the D:S line. Simply use the same D:S as the last person with no updates (+#).
