Market Discussions

Just airing my thoughts really.

I am not a well known player, I don't post very much. For a week or two now I've been stationtrading with a limited starting investment (100 mil) and am making a very fair profit (I'm up to 500 mil now, roughly and have been away due to christmas and all, so not a bad profit for such a limited time) so I like to think I am at least semi-competent as a stationtrader.
To this end I've started a new buddy account, to make a dedicated trader character as the one I'm posting with is my industry character. In a month my trader will have his skills in place, and Esubria will return to industry.

With the background information in place, my question is the following:
Is it at all feasible that I could get a loan from an MD'er to expand my stationtrading, perhaps even couple it with my industry character?
As I'm aware of my personal limitations I would not ask for a large loan. I cannot envision myself asking for more than 1 billion, if only to ensure that I don't go in over my head. However, with a 1 billion added investment, I could realistically expand my business to the extent that I can buy bulk minerals to produce close to my trading hub, use Red Frog to move my raw materials and produced goods, and make a solid profit, next to any actual stationtrading.

As an added downside, I have nothing to offer as collateral. I own a Viator, almost everything else has been liquidated.

That's my situation. If there are people who do sometimes take chances on unproven people, I will make a proper loan request post once my trader character is ready, as this formatting is rather unprofessional.
If there's simply no way, I'll have to wait until the next paycheck and splurge on a GTC I suppose. If possible I'd rather not though, as my real life cash is more limited than my ingame ISK.
So erm, thoughts?

show some proof of your doing like providing API Key to begin with, but tbh without Collateralization your asking people to trust for quite some hard earned cash wehn the first rule in eve is "dont trust anyone"...

just compare yourself to the other "trusted" Traders offering Bonds (Not including this highly suspect Chorus guy) and u´ll see quickly what your missing.

With an API and full disclosure of business plan I would be willing to fund you for 1 billon. Eve ail me and let's talk

Thanks for the advice so far everyone.
@Steven Korrupt: I am currently not ready to start yet, as my trader character needs some more skilling up first (I'd rather start off properly and well prepared than jump in early and give a sub-par performance, even more so considering this is my first activity on MD) but I will be in touch ingame to see about your interest at a later date.

@Systemkaos, and in general:
I've been tempted to start a basic trading/indy blog, not a how-to but my day to day experiences, successes and failings, basically a look into the life of a starting trader. I figured that would lend some more credibility to my name, and give some more insight in my business practices.
However, there are so many EVE blogs already. Would it be interesting at all to read about day to day stationtrading?

If it interests people, I'll start some writeups right away, as I've just moved my operation from Amarr to Jita to get a feel for the trading there, which makes for a decent jump-off point.

Thanks again everyone for the assistence so far!

Went ahead and started the blog anyway. If there's interest I'll keep the updates flowing.

Not feasible. Or rather it shouldn't be.

Nobody should blindly trust you with their money. Especially when they know that there are zero consequences for theft on your part.
