Market Discussions

Disclaimer: this product does not assess bond offers, it only ranks people that have acted as investors. A bond offering can end in a default regardless of who invests in it.

When you see a bond offering with some investors already in it, would you like to know if these other investors are genuine people, or mere sock puppets? We can never know for sure. But the goal of this phone book is to help you make an evaluation.

How did I approach this delicate subject? I have categorised MD investors based on their merits as investors. This was done by counting NOT how many bonds they have particapated in per se, but only bonds where business was ALSO conducted with other reputable investors, adding a layer of confirmation to the investment. My apologies to genuine investors that are not included due to the methodology.
For details of method, look to post #3.

Methodology
The “counts” for a person consists in the number of times he has participated in a bond where a ranked investor also participated. He then becomes a ranked (Class D) investor himself. This goes for uncollateralised bonds and similar.
Private 1:1 bonds or loans do not count, neither collateralised nor otherwise.
However, loans that involved known third parties Chribba, Grendell, Elixabeth Norn, RAW23 count even if there was only 1 investor.
Only succesfully completed bonds count, except when third parties were involved to handle the aftermath.
The amount invested is not considered.
I needed a starting group of Class D ranked investors: for this I chose the 100+ people that have invested in myself over time.
I needed a starting point in time: for this I chose (bonds that ended after) January 1, 2013.
The currently displayed phonebook contains the data starting from 2013, but only list persons that have made an investment in bonds that ended in 2014 or 2015.

Beware: the phonebook can be manipulated by mixing up your alts with reputed investors during a series of bonds. This has happened: I manually removed 2 of Wafflehead’s investors. She had a long series of bonds, and such a strategy will rig the phonebook. If you know of similar cases since 2013, let me know.

Apparently I'm one of the bestest. Awesome.

I'm going to assume it'll come with the normal nigerian evemails so not so sure if it's that awsome

WoW, think I have brought 4-5 people into the MD Community who have not walked away and scammed, have had 10 to almost 500bil isk in public isk and never scammed.

What does it take to move up from Class D ?

Ah, that explains why I'm not seeing my name there, though I even invested with you.

But after having been "a part" of every major scam/failure going at that time (EVEBank, T4U, cosmoray), I stop investing altogether. Seems I am pretty bad at judging people's honesty/reliability.

I'd like to help as an interested 3rd party if this goes forward.
