Hello,

I'm writing this topic with hope I'll find someone who's going to help me with my isk sitting idle.

Here is my story - I'm station trader from long time (about 3 years) and I think I'm doing good job with it. My average net profit per month varies from 5b to 15b, from about 40-50b isk invested, which is not bad. I can make more if I put an effort in babysitting orders. I'm bad at PVE, and I'm not willing to do any of it - it's just boring for me. Sadly, after long time, the same start to apply to station trading.

I have over 100b isk sitting idle in my wallet and I have really no clue where/how I can make this money work for more money. Here I would like to ask you, how can I invest this isk, without being forced to increase my play time (it's limited). I know I can invest in other people ventures, but I'm NOT willing to loan my isk even to people who offer collateral. This is not an option.

So, is there a way to invest 100b isk without increasing my efforts few times? How much can I expect each month doing so? What can I do with this isk?

I'm not asking for big plan how to invest this isk. I know it's everyone's secret and you won't just post it on forums. If you are willing to do it in forms of lessons or something, I'm willing to even pay for it (with isk of course) if it proves itself useful.

Any ideas?

Got it but sadly, I'm not interested in any forms of loans.

You are asking for nothing really. You are a station trader and you are asking for ways to improve your station trading, in the form of long term investments. The standard answer is buying PLEX or some limited edition ships. If anyone recommends you specific stuff beyond that, they will have their personal reasons. Another battlefield is the impact of industry updates to the game.

There are plenty of offers for collateralised investments at 2% interest, that's what many people with 500+ bn isk do with parts of their money, because it is risk-free. Dunno why you wouldn't :)

Well, 2% a month seems quite low to me. Also, this is not risk free since collaterall can go down in price and/or the provider can use me to easily liquidate his stock.

So, what forms of trading I need to discover if I want to put this isk in work? Are there any ways to trade without babysiting orders?

Why not look at all the other posts in the MD forum asking this same basic question?

Most resources and modules etc have price cycles of 3-4 weeks or similar. Study the charts. You can buy when they are low, unless you believe the market is in a longer term decline :)

Sounds fair, but when you trade like that, do you make huge buy orders and then after cycle ends, sell orders, or buy from sell orders, wait, and sell to buy orders? The 1st option gives more profit of course, but the 2nd is actually no work. Although, I'm not sure if 2nd option can be EVER profitable (if prices varies that much).

You could always invest a bit with me, see the IPO I listed in MD. Unlike pure-profit driven IPO's, this one is for a cause, but I will be trading the balance for shareholders as well. Big smile

You can always find me on the forum section of Minerbumping.com :o)

There's no 100% risk free investment anywhere. Interest always correlates to risk: no risk, no interest.

Also 2% is a lot better than nothing. It seems you're looking for a risk free way to make 5%+ on your ISK without needing to put any effort into it. You won't get it.

Furthermore you claim to be a station trader with 3 years experience and you consider yourself being good at it. Frankly speaking, you already should know all the answers to your questions from your own experience.
