Market Discussions

I am issuing bonds to the value of 30 billion isk to provide capital for a station trading operation. The interest rate will be 5% per month and the length of the bond will be two months. Interest will be paid on the 5th of December and again on the 5th of January when the bond closes and the investments are returned. This will be an uncollateralised investment. The minimum investment is 100 million isk and the maximum per character is 5 billion.

The plan is to trade in Jita with a single character who has nearly maxxed out trade skills and extremely high standings (Caldari Navy and Caldari state both above 9). My bonds to date have been either combined trade and industry bonds, speculation bonds, or bonds to fund my loans business. This will be my first pure trade bond and I will be learning as I go under the tutelage of my long-standing friend, business partner, and über-trader Rykker Bow.

My aim is not to make vast quantities of isk (been there, done that) but rather to cover ship replacement costs (I am VERY bad at PvP but having a lot of fun with it at the moment) and PLEX costs for my three active accounts. I will pursue a strategy that seeks to minimise time spent 0.01ing while maximising profits. In the highly unlikely event that I am unable to make the necessary returns (the aim is 10bil profit a month) I will switch to one of my more active tried and tested trade and industry business plans, with which I have been able to make 100% profits a month on similar or larger amounts of capital. The first five days of the bond will be spent researching markets and dipping my toes in before committing the capital fully.

Provisional Reservations:

1) Vaerah Vahrokha – 5 billion
2) Rykker Bow – 5 billion
3) MaddMaxx2000 – 5 billion

These bonds are being set aside for those who have previously expressed an interest in investing but should they choose not to invest their portions will be made available to others. I will also give priority to flakeys if he is interested in investing as he has invested in all my previous bonds and I don’t want him to miss out should he want to participate.

Sod it I'll take the last 10

Whoops missed the limit, will be 5 then

Bah you and your silly maximum of 5b :P

Sorry. Small beer I know but I have made some of my best relationships in the game through having a broad pool of investors. Given all you have done for me over the years I would love to have you on the list!

Noted and thank you. I'll give the guys on the priority list 24 hours to confirm, so we'll know in a day.

500mil is no problem at all so long as there is room.

Thanks for the reservation!

Thanks Rykker!

@Elizabeth and Kith - please send your investments whenever you are ready.

If the others could hold off until tomorrow evening, I'll let you know the final lineup then.

Confirming my reservation of 5 billion, will send ISK over shortly.


Update: ISK Sent

Pending space in the bond i would like to take 2bil

let me know

Thanks for the reservations guys. I have put you on the backup list in case anyone pulls out.

@AC155 - Good to see you! Hope all is well with you and thanks for the reservation.

I will close the list to new reservations at this point as the bond has filled and there are a healthy number of backups.

The current lineup is:

1) Rykker Bow - 5bil (received)
2) MaddMaxx2000 - 5bil (received)
3) Elizabeth Norn - 5bil
4) Kithran - 5bil
5) Careby - 5bil
6) Blueprint Seller - 5bil

Backups are:

1) Joshu Mumon - 500mil
2) AC155 - 5bil
3) Tolnakar - 2bil
4) Daniel Plain - 3bil

VV and flakeys have until 2100 eve time to get in if they want. However, unless there are any objections, if they don't make the cutoff but still want to invest I will arrange something privately with each of them to a max of 5bil, potentially increasing my total exposure to 40bil.
