Interest received, cheers.

Your welcome everyone, spread the wealth I say and to be clear, everyone on the investor and reserve list in the last two bonds will get a piece of the bonus pool funds. And I wouldn't say I'm awesome, perhaps I just know how to say thank you.

Part of running bonds is projecting confidence in what you are offering and a good reserve list does that for both current and future bonds so not quite something for nothing on my side

Even though there are no current plans for upcoming bonds, who knows what will be 6 months down the line. Enjoy watching the bonus pool grow in the next three weeks.

What a pleasant surprise!

Looking forward to seeing how the bonus pool develops.

List is updated Miss Boobz, thank you for your generosity!

A quick note to everyone in the bonus pool: the payout for the bonus pool will be given at the end of the bond in one lump sum while the investor list interest payments will continue to be weekly.

when the reservation for next bond will start? i have 2-3 friends willing to reserve for the next bond.

Confirming receipt of interest payment (125M).

Good job Rykker

Well I can give you some idea how to spend 100b+ :) trust me.

Rykker bond #8 week three interest payments have been paid out. RAW23 and Liberty Eternal have had their interest payment sent directly to VAERT as a donation. Miss Boobz' portion of the bonus pool will go to VAERT at the end of the bond.

• week one net profit of 26 billion (3.4 billion per day)
• week two net profit of 28 billion (4.0 billion per day)
• week three net profit of 35 billion (5.0 billion per day)

• total bond profit to date of 89 billion
• average daily profit to date of 4.2 billion
• bonus pool to investor and reserve list: 2.67 billion

The first day of the third week of the bond I began my assault on the market.

The last few weeks, materials and prints have been building up and standing by while running normal operations and starting last friday I began assaulting the market with the entire manufacturing basket. Massive amounts of manufactured items were sent to market. Sell orders were updated frequently and aggressively. Items were sold to buy orders that had crept up in price and crossed the production cost barrier. The market, while somewhat stabilizing, has seen a significant drop in profitability through most items and in some cases prices have fallen to near build cost. While I don’t believe I was solely responsible for the market falling, the thousands of items that were dumped on the market in the first days certainly did not help items that were already on a downward cycle. Some notable interactions with other traders this week included being reported as a bot and a one line convo of 'for all that is holy, pleeease!'

By the fourth day, over 30 billion in profits were realized in both manufacturing and station trading.

I am truly a dark hearted bastard for the terrible, terrible things I have done to the market.

The fourth week of the bond will be used to monitor how the market reacts and repairs itself from the beating it took as well as bringing about a slowing down of both manufacturing and station trading. Inventory will be sold off and both sides of the business will go into an autopilot mode generating a much lower but continuous revenue stream as I get some fly time in.

There is still good profits in many of the items being manufactured and while manufacturing will slow this week, they should still generate good returns and alongside station trading, there should be no problem breaking the 100 billion profit per month barrier. While there will not be a performance audit due to the complexity, here is a link to eveboard which shows ISK balance. I believe the board updates once a day and should climb dramatically as inventory is sold off. Take into consideration approximately 15 billion was used for an additional character and multiple plex and some billions will be kept in station trading and manufacturing.

Thanks to RAW23 for bestowing the title of 'dark hearted bastard!' on me in reference to the assault on the market. Meant as a badge of honor and taken as such; high praise indeed Also thanks to RAW23 for the solid manufacturing foundation that this process was build upon. A great business mind there. Between us and Varo Jan, the manufacturing process became as efficient as could possibly be made and it has transferred smoothly to a one man operation.
