First rule of investing in a person with a first time bond offering:

Never, ever (don't even think about it), invest in a bond where all the investors have never posted in the thread.

In fact don't invest in bonds that are not covered by collateral.






Here is a suggestion, just ask your corp mates to wait a couple of weeks to get a small working buffer.
After all you are making 30% profits.



Surely your corp mates trust you, perhaps they could post here about your trustworthiness and profitability.

You're not put off from investing in an unnecessarily large and expensive loan to a person who presents no evidence of competence or trustworthyness?

It seems to me that this should be a much smaller collateralised loan at a lower rate, if the intention was legitimate.

No investor will have priority over any other investor. when collateral is setup everyone will be covered equally. If I wanted a 100% colateral loan I would have set it up privately.

there is no collateral yet, as grendell is always offline :(

could you log in at like 20:00 EVE today so we can chat about setting up collateral please :)

much love

1. Define the structure of the offer properly. It is not an IPO, there is no profit share or equity growth. It is a loan with a fixed rate of interest.
2. Get your collateral straight. So far it has just been mumblings. It looks like you are offering 40% collateral although you havent disclosed what it is. People will want to know to assess how stable its value is.
3. Given you are apparently only offering 40%, note that this not generally of interest to either collateralised investors, or uncollateralised ones. Consider splitting the offer into a collateralised loan at 50b, at a low interest rate (you will get under 5%), and a second uncollateralised one at a higher rate for those more risk averse.
4. Ideally do all that before you make your offer, so it doesnt turn into a thread of confused questions (too late).

However, general advice would be that you seem to be filling it rapidly outside of MD in the weak form that it is, so if I were you I'd stick with that. Standards tend to be higher here.

Good luck

Investing rules two and three:

When the OP refuses to answer questions, don't invest


More importantly when Grendell won't even touch the collateral run away quickly.



If you invest you are just asking to lose the ISK.
So far we have gone from:

IPO to Collateralized Bond to Partially collateralized Bond to Bond to I am a trustworthy guy honest,

Funny because when i read the OP i thought it was a twist on the exact same concept...

I am sorry, an audit for an investment of this size and nature (corporation and other involvements, prior situation to study) cannot be started when the investment is half filled.

It'd not be a serious work, it'd just look like some "VV seal of approval" (I already sense expectation from some posters in here) instead of what it's meant to be.
