bought 8029 shares of ABDN.

8029? From where did you get all that cash?

I've 1400 of ar and 900 ab.

trading stock ofcourse. ^_^
(if you buy for low prices (like, under 0.05), the smallest changes can earn you lots of thollars... provided it a positive dynamic, I've been lucky so far.)

Well return on ab was 100% for me. :P

It earned me $2

EDIT: I'm an idiot, that is a 100% return.

Erm... I prefer Railroad Tycoon. :unsure:

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(Lulu_Jane @ Sep 13 2007, 01:47 PM) [snapback]310614[/snapback]</div>Well I have 240$ worth portfolio, you should keep less cash with yourself then.

Japofran - buy stocks it's your patriotic duty!!

Nah, those are War Bonds Tulac, not stocks. Besides, I'm more interested in how much dividends you'll pay out (othervise I'm donating my stocks to HOTU).

We've got the fattest dividend out there. :]

Also you betray us if you buy HoTU stocks.

Yes and we will make trade sanctions against you.

KA-CHING!

Every sanctions create a blackmarket (black stock market in this case) and I'll be running it MWAHAHAHAHAHA.

But seriously guys, there's something slightly disturbing I find about Thothmarket... Anybody else has that feeling?

It's somewhat lame, because it doesn't say what's the number of stocks outstanding. So with IPO I own 10% of shares, 10% of what number?

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(Tulac @ Sep 13 2007, 10:36 PM) [snapback]310735[/snapback]</div>Err... 10% of the full 100%... that would be the number you own times ten :unsure: Unless they changed the laws of math.

But the point is that there isn't a finite number of shares outstanding. Normally when you IPO, you sell an exact number of shares based on demand. So if 100 000 shares would be sold in the IPO I would have 10 000. And the 90 000 would be publicly traded. But in this game it doesn't say what is the number of shares outstanding so I don't know what is the full 100%.

Well, there are infinite shares outstanding. You've got 10% of them, and 10% of infinite equals infinite. I don't understand your query. There are infinite shares and you've got an infinite part of it, and since each share has a finite value then you've infinitely rich --that's more so than Bill gates. It's quite clear for me.

You think all this makes no economic sense? Well quite obviously you must be deranged. :D :D

@_r.u.s.s.
I wanted to post that, but thought I would be lapidated for it - now you will. :D

It's still possible for Tulac to own 10% of the company, even though there's an infinite amount of shares available. The websites listed on Thotmarket are all OIECs (Open Ended Investment Companies), or mutual funds, for all you Americans out there.

It's a perfectly workable system, and it ensures that the prices of the shares fluctuate purely on the basis of the performance of the company, rather than on the supply and demand for the shares themselves (as will happen with comapanies that have fixed numbers of shares). It also means that people don't sell their shares to each other, buying and selling is handled purely by the company.

Say my friend starts a company (using the OIEC system) worth £100, he gives himself 100 shares worth £1 each. I then buy 100 shares for myself from the company for £100; meaning the company has £200 in assets and £200 worth of shares have been issued. A month later, the company has been doing rather well, now having £400 worth of cash and assets. The shares are now worth £2 each as there are still 200 of them. I decide to cash in my investment. I get £200 for my 100 shares. The company is now worth £200 (having givne half of its assets to me), but the only shares remaining are my friend's, which are still worth £2 each.

EDIT: Though it seems that the value of the stocks are indeed affected by their supply and demand. I can't imagine what ker-azy system they're using, thoguh it's almost certainly not one you'll find in real life. Ah well, the point still remains that it's possibe for Tulac to own 10% of a company that there are infinite shares available for. In fact, it's possible to own 100% of an OIEC, and then to find that you suddenly don't anymore as someone's come along and invested money in it without you having any control over it (besides buying even more shares to increase your share again, of course...).

Is it just me or are the abandonia stocks not growing in price?

At least my The Black Den Shares are growing. :sneaky:

http://www.thotmarket.com/images/ticker/TBD4GTX.png

And I put them on the market for $3.15 per share. :max:

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(Havell @ Sep 14 2007, 03:36 AM) [snapback]310805[/snapback]</div>Yeah but these funds are mostly used to invest in other stocks/bonds/currencies. They wouldn't be practical for running a single company.

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(Blood-Pigggy @ Sep 13 2007, 10:18 PM) [snapback]310729[/snapback]</div>Except... We could do it and cause HOTU's stock to become nearly worthless. :P
1. Buying out as much of it as possible -> 2. selling out all of them at once -> 3. should create a sudden major drop in their worth -> 4. start a domino effect as owners sell out their shares to avoid further losses -> 5. go back to 3. and repeat. :whistling:

forums war :w00t:

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(_r.u.s.s. @ Sep 14 2007, 01:24 PM) [snapback]310887[/snapback]</div>Except that they Don't know about Thothmarket on HotU. :sneaky: :ph34r:

@Fifth: Let's do it. :devil:

I don't think we have enough cash for that. :P

Then let's start investing! :max:

i still dont get it :(

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(_r.u.s.s. @ Sep 14 2007, 01:43 PM) [snapback]310892[/snapback]</div> :blink: What is it you actually don't get???

- The Buying of Shares
- The Selling of Shares
- Issuing your own Shares. :bleh:
- Or how a Stock market Works :blink: :blink:

In that last case I have an old game that might be useful to home your skillz. :sneaky:
Called: Broker. I believe it's in German. (at least the cover is, game can be in english, or not....)
Haven't played it in a while (win3.11), but Thoth reminded me of this INSTANTLY. ^_^

[EDIT]Word of warning. Don't try to sell for more than $100,- in stock. You'll be taxed if you would continue. Best would then be to sell one part now and the rest after 15 minutes.[/EDIT]

nice concept.

I bought some stocks of my favorite websites:
abandonia
reloaded
dosbox
wikipedia

My USA thot rose from $0.25 to $0.90. LOL

http://www.thotmarket.com/images/ticker/US.png

Small tip to anyone interested: OGRU gives pretty fast profits.

I've earned 400% on PATRIOTS, it's good to find those sites for which you know that their community will be buying stocks thus raising the price.

I've made 1345% profit with STRWRS. :omg2:

[edit] Okay... 2334%... [edit]

So what's the deal... I can not buy more then 100.000 shares of some thots :angry: I want to get more of some of them

They're probably trying to prevent speculation.

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(Tulac @ Sep 15 2007, 07:01 PM) [snapback]311095[/snapback]</div>L0L0L Then what's the whole thing about? LOL Kinda beats the purpose. The money is fake anyway so there should be no worries.

LOL

LOL

:P :P :P

ZOMG is all I can say.

LOL
The system is obviously flawed.

Yes, especially seeing as I've only made $21 LOL

The trick is to keep checking the cheapest shares until you see one with a negative value. Then buy 100000. Rather than costing you money, they give it... and a LOT!!!

LOL
Bank balance
999999999997072600.00

It sure is broken. I can't even spell that number, is it quatrillions?

No idea. Probably more than all thots posted are worth together anyway. :P

Hahaha they just taxed me and now my cash is 100 000$ ButI invested in hundreds of millons worth of stocks so it's no biggie.

:blink:

:huh: No idea how MidniteNeko does that.

They sure have some serious bugs to fix.

a book "how to become a gazzilionare", only 39.45$ at your local stores :D

:hysterical:

I had to pay Windfall Tax half an hour before it was removed. :ranting:

Heh, it's so nice to be the bigest share owner out there.

Anyway, now you can see the numbers of shares out there for every thot (abandonia has about 1.400.000) shares at the moment.

I CONTROLL THE HotU THOT!!!!!! :brain: :sneaky:

How do I kill it?? :butcher:

I already made some good money from the Abandonia stocks, so I decided to start my own corportation based on my blog.

Please?

Just (1)70 shares??

That's pathetic. Already bought them all.

Got more?? :sneaky:

TheChosen, Thanks for your Thot.
I'll take good controll of it. :sneaky: :sneaky: :sneaky:

You are a hostile takeoverer! :D

So. How should I edit HotU's description? :devil:

Youre mean!

No matter what you say, It will not affect on how I'l write my blog in future!

Oh, just shut up and write more Blog.

Make me earn more Thot-money! :whip:
