Andarius Bond 2: 10b, 8%, 1 month [FINISHED]

I am a station trader. I make a profit from the margin between buy and sell orders. As my profit is limited to the amount of assets I have to trade, I am looking for an investment to increase my returns.

TRADING HISTORY
Since the beginning of 2010, I have traded on and off for a total of 115 active days. In the time that I have traded, I have grown by over 16 billion, and private and public investors have earned over 3 billion interest on deposits. I recently successfully completed a 2 billion bond on the MD forums. For a more detailed look of my full trading and investing history, please consult my public, regularly-updated accounting sheet. In addition, Vaerah Vahrokha has just recently completed another audit of my account that tracks my trading progress since the start of my previous bond.

CURRENT OFFER
In the time since the completion of my previous public bond, I have worked very hard to increase my standings so that I would be able to trade even more efficiently. Now that my brokerage fees have been reduced to 0.29 percent, I decided to offer another bond.

This bond offer is considerably larger for a number of reasons. First, I feel completely comfortable trading with such a large amount; I was trading with 14 billion during the last few days of my previous bond. Second, I now have reduced my brokerage fees to the point where I can trade in larger volume markets that can easily handle a single trader trying to move tens of billions through them a day. Third, my personal profits gained from margins is only limited by the amount of ISK I have with which to trade.

BUSINESS PLAN
I plan on continuing my tried-and-true method of station trading. I am very comfortable with buying and selling stacks of goods worth multiple billion isk. I profit from the small margins between the buying and selling price of those goods.

There is no transportation risk due to station trading. There is little fluctuating price risk due to quick, daily trading of goods. I only trade in goods that have very strong price stability. The human error risk is present but negligible due to in-game safeguards and my own attention to detail.

The most significant safety risk is not in the trading itself but in the investors considering whether or not to invest. As this is not a collateral bond, you must seriously consider whether or not I am a scammer. That risk is ever present in EVE, and I fully acknowledge it.

Jumping from 2B to 10B with zero collateral seems a tad odd (the risk of rep grinding solely to bail with a bigger amount), but what do I know? I left after 3 years and forgetting about a 2b bond - now people won't stop throwing ISK at me... so put me down for 1B!

I definitely believe that an additional 10 billion ISK is easily within my trading capability. That said, I do think it is a large jump for investor trust. Although I only became an active presence on MD about two months ago, I believe that the type of person I am is reflected very strongly in my posts and interactions with the community in that time. I appreciate the show of support!

All reservations thus far have been updated. 5 billion remains to be reserved.

Markets performance analysis

Due to the changes in the EvE® API, none of the analysis softwares used in the past seem to work any longer. In order to improve this audit’s presentation, the Auditor ported and bug fixed one of them to the new standard. Thus EvE Income Analyzer Crucible Edition has born.


Income and expenditure

This graph graph shows the income and expenditure in the last month. Expenditure includes unrealized profit and losses.

This graph graph shows the all time income and expenditure. Expenditure includes unrealized profit and losses.


Wallet balance

Best selling items

The following graph shows which items were the best selling for the full API covered period. The Investee asked to have the item names blanked.


Trading efficiency

The first graph shows how much margin the Investee made by selling his stock. The “Efficiency” column shows the margin. In example, 0.22 means a 22 percent margin was achieved. The Investee asked to have the item names blanked. The first graph shows the relative efficiency, that is which items achieved the best margin, regardless of their actual impact on the total earnings.

The best item sales netted 22 percent profit.
The average sales netted a 7 percent profit.

The second graph shows the absolute efficiency, that is which items provided for the best total earnings margin, even if they did not achieve the best margin performance.

Well, I think it is full, but if you have any extra room, you can put me in for up to 2 billion. If this works out, just send me a mail and let me know what I need to do on my part.

With VV's investment, it is actually currently overfilled at 12b. I am currently talking to investors to see how they would like to handle that, because I would obviously like to give my auditor a spot in the bond.

I will mark the bond as full. Sorry for any inconvenience Sentar. I appreciate the interest!

You, sir, win the most hilarious investor award. Unfortunately there is no prize except for confirmation of your awesomeness. (I also removed my CSPA).

Ambrani has kindly agreed to lower his investment to 3 billion to allow VV to invest 2 billion.

The bond is now completely filled. I have actually advanced the start date to April 20th. I did not realize it would fill so quickly. Thank you to all investors!
