Market Discussions

I have a previous thread asking for a 1b investment which was a resounding failure and which I have now asked to be locked.

That thread offered 16% interest.

i am an experienced trader with most of the trade skills trained to lvl4 including margin trading. I am currently training wholesale5 which ends in 8 days. I will then be able to train tycoon to lvl3 in a day. Thus in 9 days time I will have 108 extra order slots.
If I had an investment of 1b I could use it to generate about 3b of buy orders to add to the 3.159b buy orders I currently have.

Here's the deal.

I'm looking for a single investment of 1billion isk for 1 month. In return I will offer 10% of my total profits during the investment period. During my 1st month I made 600m. During my 2nd month(which ends in 3 days) I have so far made 3b. I expect to make a minimum of 4b during my 3rd month but with the injection of an extra 3b of buy orders it could be considerably more.
Thus I'm offering a return of 40%+ which I feel justifies the title of this thread.

I'm prepared to offer my full api key both pre investment and post investment.

My current position is as follows :-

Orders remaining :- 23 out of 125
Buy Orders :-3.159b
Sell Orders :- 2.412b
Isk in escrow :-917m(2.242b neede to cover)
Isk in wallet :- 180m
Contracts :- 196m

I assume any potential investor will be able to verify these figures from my api.

Doing a quick bit of adding up my NAV is approx 3.705b. This will be slightly high as I aggressively cut my sell orders against any competition.

I have long term trading ambitions which, as I become wealthier, I hope to achieve with the assistance of increasing outside investment so it is not in my interest to engage in anything less than 100% reputable activity.

I also hope that by offering an historically high rate of return I can breathe some life into the moribund 'start up investment' market

Thanks for reading this

An investment of 1 billion isk has been made by I LIKE IT

21-01-2013 An interest payment of 121,456,692 was made to I LIKE IT
28-01-2013 An interest payment of 144,267,155 was made to I LIKE IT

Confirming that(much to my surprise) I have received a 1 billion isk investment from I LIKE IT

The investment period started today at 11.14 UK time and will end at the same time in 4 weeks time.

For the purpose of this investment I'm assuming a starting NAV of 3.6b

I haven't received any request for my API key.

Api key sent

LIKE HELL YOU WILL

My friend I am really enjoying your novelty alt. Keep it up.

Well if he is an alt, then why would he send me 2 bil as well haha

I have decided to pay out the interest weekly in order to avoid the pain of payying all the interest and capital at the end of week 4.

So here is a report on the 1st weeks activities :-

I've been struggling all week due to a shortage of order slots. I've been having to cancel both buy orders and sell orders as I have been juggling between acquiring inventory and selling inventory. This shouldn't be a problem going forward because Wholesale5 finishes training tomorrow and I'll have several levels of tycoon trained shortly thereafter.

Here are the numbers :-

Starting Nav 3.6b + 1b investment = 4.6b
0 slots of 125 available
Buy Orders 11,484,677,033
Sell Orders 1,356,120.000
Isk in Escrow 3,201,659851(isk needed to cover 8,283,017,182)
Isk in wallet 1,009,782,070
Inventory in Assets(not listed because no orders slots) 289,005.000

After marking down my inventory and sell orders by 100m because of competitive markdowns I calculate my new NAV as
5,814,566.921

This leaves a profit of 1,214,566,921

An interest payment of 121,456,692 has been sent to I LIKE IT

There's a slight miscalculation here as my new NAV is actually 5,814,566,921 -1b = 4,814,566,921.

This doesn't actually make any difference to the profit or interest payment and I mention it purely for the sake of accuracy.

Interesting. If you're interested in further bonds, similar sized bonds, some of us are interested.

What is it specifically that leads you to believe that this bond is fake? My api has been given to the investor, and in the absence of any comments by him about it, I assume that he found all was well.

Ofc your counter to this would be that my investor is my alt.

If that is the case what specifically makes you think my investor is my alt? When I saw his 1st post I assumed it was a troll and I was extremely surprised to find an extra 1bill in my account when I logged on.

It's fairly obvious that I LIKE IT is an alt. He probably has a very wealthy main for whom the 3b he has invested is a fleabite and who is having a bit of fun. However he most assuredly is not MY alt.

On the basis of the first weeks results it would seem that I LIKE IT is going to do quite well out of this bond.

This has already set me to thinking about the terms of my next bond so as not to be quite so generous

Assuming I have a NAV of around 8b at the start of my next bond I'm thinking in terms of offering 8x500m bonds at 10% of the profit during the 4 weeks investment period. The 4b investment would allow me to make an extra 12b+ in buy orders which should have some impact on profits.

However the new twist that I will probably introduce is that people can bid for any number of the bonds on offer at rates of 10% or below of the profits in increments of 0.5%

I will probably develop this theme further once this current bond has finished. It goes without saying that prior to such a bond I would have no problem with VW validating my api
