Mention your IPO in this thread, and I'll add you to my list.

Now that's a fun idea!

<--- bought 5,000 shares :)

Economic fun! (joins)

I'm in. Looks like fun.

Since the IPO is so cheap I'll take 50,000 shares. Actually I'll buy on margin and triple it.

Since I don't understand the stock market wth did you just say?

I don't believe they allow margin on that site. I bought 16666 of this stock myself. ;)

No more stock available?

Yeah, it says trading frozen. How long until more shares are available?

Frozen due to overpurchase already... This stock has a bright future...

Too bad I'm not in on it.

No shares are currently available for NSTS. Trading on this thot will resume when more shares make it to market.

You're all damn stock whores. I wanted to get some NS stocks. LOL.

Hey Frisby I bought some of your junk stock along with a few others. In about a 24hr period now my net worth is up to 3800.

Yeah, it builds up fast.

Still plenty of public shares left, folks.

(for those who want to build a little faster, find a tiny stock that temporarily has a negative stock price ... and BUY BUY BUY. For me, it lasted less than five minutes, but I picked up a few million shares before the price went back up to a penny. I warn you, they're not easy to find.)

Why should I invest in NSG when it's only trading at .03 a share?

So is there actually any way to buy on credit, or to sell for more than the trading price?

Why should I invest in NSG when it's only trading at .03 a share?

Because I am planning to use a large portion of my $38 million fortune to invest and that'll increase its trade value?

I may invest a small amount in NSG, but I'm also going to invest in Wal-Mart and Microsoft. Hmm, I'll invest 10% into NSG.

Ok I brought 2500 shares of NSG.

Why should I invest in NSG when it's only trading at .03 a share?

Because if you invest now and wait many days, it'll right to a much higher price and you can sell for a boat load of money. That's how investing works.

I may invest a small amount in NSG, but I'm also going to invest in Wal-Mart and Microsoft. Hmm, I'll invest 10% into NSG.

Good. Hopefully NSG will become the ultimate stock.

I've also bought a few shares of photo.com, which was apparently put on the market by Katganistan.

Ok, I got 2500 shares of NSG
two shares of Microsoft
two shares of Wal-Mart.

Let's see how successful I am at this.

Time to branch out a bit. Some of your rich folks should start creating Thots for your regional forums and such. Let's take this place over!

Nswiki, the NationStates encyclopdia

Initial Trading Price: $0.02
Total Shares: 20,000,000
Available Shares: 20000000
Market Capitalization: $0

Hmm ok, this is going to sound stupid, but when I look at my Portfolio here's what I see.

Portfolio Summary:
(top 10 thots that you are currently invested in)
Thot Symbol: # shares owned: Trade Price: Change:
WALM (2 shares) $291.14 0.00
MIC (2 shares) $119.34 +109643283.18
NSG (2500 shares) $0.04 +0.01

Does the Change mean how much money the stock made and lost in trade, and what does that mean for me personally in my own investment of said stock?

I'm loving this!

Frisby-

How long did it take to make that kind of fortune? What was the main stock you rode to millions?

How long did it take to make that kind of fortune? a little over 4 minutes, actually. Started with about $3000 on my second day on the site, and parlayed that to around 11 million in a matter of minutes.

Incidentally, I posted that I had $14 million about 1.25 hours ago. It just popped up to $49,103,640. All legit, this time.

Fass, you've got a decent market capitalization now. Added a few hundred thousand shares to make it more interesting.

Sweet. Only it would be more fair if the Communist Moderator Conglomerates hadn't gotten away with fraud or genocide or whatever Enron-esque thing Fris did. Figures, the mods always cheat. Because they're communists, and hate our freedoms.

Anyone figured out how to manipulate either the stock price or dividends? I know that a stock will go up in value due to people looking at it but how is the dividend figured?

A little bit of advice so far for people is check a stocks dividend rate. It is best in my opinion starting to buy a stock at lets say .01 that has a dividend rate of .01. Woot is one I am riding right now.

Generalite Mafia now comes with its own stock!

Anyone figured out how to manipulate either the stock price or dividends? I know that a stock will go up in value due to people looking at it but how is the dividend figured?
NSG is selling lots of small increments from many players, and is giving a penny dividend just about every hour. Most of the others have been snapped up in massive one-shot purchases. The prices continue to climb, but they're not paying out a dividend very often, if at all.

If you're a small investor, buying small lots of multiple investments seems to help everyone. "A rising tide raises all boats," as the saying goes. Also, lower priced and newer issues seem to get more attention. We've only been doing this for a couple of days, so it's hard to establish trends ... but I'd aim towards IPOs. If you do, make sure that you provision additional shares - and keep your majority position, unless you want some rich asshole (like me) stealing it from you.

I have some of those as well. The dividend rate is not bad and at a good cost. Was hoping they would release some more stock on this one.

Well so far I had to sell my Wal-Mart stock and Microsoft Stock because they were losing money, which taught me that I have to look at how the stocks performed in the past before investing in them. I now invested in two new stocks with good past of mostly going up.

why is NSG going down. it was at .10 now it is at .06

i've been wondering that, too. stocks are confusing.
more demand leads to....falling prices.....? :confused:

or is there continually more stock being released by fris? that would explain it, maybe...

Guys, guys ... c'mon, that one's elementary stock performance.

Dividends don't spring up from the ground. They're paid out of company coffers, which reduces the company's value by that amount. So NSG goes from .05 to .08, then pays a .01 dividend while immediately dropping to .07. Sometimes it pays a dividend without having climbed, which makes reinvesting your dividends even cheaper.

As of this instant, NSG has paid out .07 per share since the IPO. That means it's doing damn well. As for the rest of them:
NSTS - .07
NSUN - .05
The rest of them have just grown in value. It would be nice if people would pick up some of the others too.

Oh yeah, another IPO:

The thot for my home region is named "The East Pacific" :(.

What the heck is the secret?
My secret was those one cent stocks on the active list. I invested every dime I had in them anytime they offered new stock, which was 2-4 times a day. They pay a .01 dividend every 1-2 hours, which means you double your investment that quickly.

WOOTCOM (2,919,297,167 shares)
DGG (14,993,731 shares)
HBO (3,149,403,432 shares)
THEUK is another of those, but the owner never adds any new stock. I sold my original 10,000 and put it into DGG early on.

HBO just posted mass shares. I just increased my stake to 13,478,416,632 shares.

i just got a mere 24,000 shares in that.

need more money...


my IPO generated a decent return though, yay!

Dammit. Sorry, I shouldn't have been in such a hurry. At least the link and the flavor text are correct for The South Pacific.

WooHoo! You can edit the title and text, just not the link. It's now actually The South Pacific.

- and keep your majority position, unless you want some rich asshole (like me) stealing it from you.

So, what, just buy half the stocks you put on the market really quickly? :p

That's one strategy. The thing is, these two cent stocks are incredibly cheap to anyone who's been here a few days. If somebody is scouting the Newest page and grabbing anything promising, you could miss out on your buyback, even in a matter of seconds. Gotta be careful, as people getting huge dividends can buy your whole portfolio with pocket change. This is my second day, and I'm getting about $90 million an hour. Your $1000 account disappears pretty quick if you're not careful.

Another would be to put out a large IPO, but keep 90% or so for yourself. As the price goes up, sell some. Trouble is, you get hit by Capital Gains taxes if you do that.

Play with it. It's a game.

I don't understand, how do you get dividend?
Some stocks give decent dividends, others just sit there. If I were you, I'd dump that loser Google and buy some NSG. That stock's hoppin'.


A note to anyone with frozen stock - if you just sit on it, it will drop in value until it expires. Either release some new shares, sell some of your shares, or work out a deal with somebody richer to take ownership until you can get some decent funds built up. Frozen = Dead in this market.

If you can't make a million shares for yourself and at least 750K for the public, I wouldn't bother. Bear in mind that the cost for that with two cent shares is $35,000. Not that much.

I'm now officially an Internet Billionaire. If only it was as fast and easy in real life.

Right now I am taking any earnings I make and reinvesting them in new stocks. I just brought the majority share of stocks of a $1.00 stock that was in the "New" section. I hope this helps me get more money.

You invested in penny stocks right?

Er, what?

Well,I figured it out.You can't choose how high to sell stocks,it's based on the market.That's what I was aking.

See,I accidently bought 8 more stocks then I wanted.Rather than keep them I figured 'Hey,why not sell?'. So, I sold the eight stocks.Despit I bought them for $0.10 a piece they sold for $0.60 every 4.(I sold in fours)60/4=15, so I guess they sold for 15 cents a piece.Basicaly a 50% increase in price.

EDIT--wait,wait!I checked.The selling price rose to 15 cents and I lost a dollar. How do you make money?!?!?!Please don't just say dividends,how do they work.

Just bought 125,213 NSG shares.

Based on my banking history, the three NS issues that are reliably paying dividends are NSNET, JG, and NSG. They're not paying every time like the penny stocks, but they're at least every other time. Plus, you're investing in NationStates.

I think we could get the same performance out of PACIFIC, TNP, TSP, TEP, and TWP, if people would buy a few. All are cheap and underperforming in market cap. Plenty of shares, and they'll keep working for us as long as we keep interested in Thotmarket. We're also getting quite a bit of outside investment (unless you guys are richer than I thought) and all that publicity for the site can't hurt.

Yea I'm investing all of the money that I get from dividends into Google Labs.

Googlelabs should pay out handsomely.

So I don't quite fully understand how dividends are calculated.

The stocks you seem to want that pay dividends frequently are the low or even high priced stocks that have a huge growth number behind them. You see a lot with 0.00 or 0.01 however check the ones that say +3456869607.90 or some crazy number like that. They are the ones that pay the div's on a regular basis. NSNET is one of them at .11 that will pay .01.

I have also found you can drive your stock price up by having a large capitalization rate vs how many shares you have out. I am experimenting but it seems if you had the majority of shares out there in public hands the higher the capitalization rate thus higher the stock will go. Ideal situation I suppose would be to have the most you could have out publicly without someone taking over. What happens is when someone takes over a stock it will change the dynamics of it. I took over Myspace stock and figured out that it no longer paid dividends rather climbed in price. With me taking it over it changed the underlying dynamic of the stock. I sold some off and lost control of it. Now it is back to making a regular dividend.

NSNET is one of them at .11 that will pay .01.

Compare NSNET with NSTS. I own a majority position in both (yeah, I took over the one that started us on this quest), yet they are very different. Still, both pay regular dividends and have those large number growth rates.

NSTS is at $0.03 right now if you want a bargain.

Hmm does NSTS pay regular dividends?

What I mean is, every time dividends are paid out, does NSTS always pay out or does it just pay out every other times dividends are paid out?

NSTS is at $0.03 right now if you want a bargain.

NSTS is at $0.03 because it capitalization rate is low vs shares outstanding. However with the high number of stocks unsold it seems to have transfered it's growth into dividends. Maybe some experimenting will find the exact formula for div's vs stock growth.

Edit: It just changed fundamentals again. Stock rose vs paying div's. So it may not pay out on a regular basis now.

What I mean is, every time dividends are paid out, does NSTS always pay out or does it just pay out every other times dividends are paid out?

Not sure but it looks like it should continue to pay out as long as the stock keeps its current situation. When you see the high growth rate number disappear that is when it probably will stop paying dividends. It just recently looks like its underlying fundamental has changed. Maybe a large stock infusion but Frisby would know because he has control.

Edit: It changed to growth instead of dividends. Watch it and it may change again.

NSTS is at $0.03 because it capitalization rate is low vs shares outstanding.

It's low because the prior owner watched as it got lots of activity, which means dividendss. It didn't grow in price because he couldn't afford to capitalize it, and it dropped a penny each div cycle with no chance to grow. We don't exactly have a long baseline on which to base historical trends, so of course this is best guess, but it matches the behavior of real financial markets.

I tossed in a few million dollars a few hours ago and brought it up to par with the rest of the major NS stocks. It's been paying out regularly (i.e. every cycle) all day, including since I built it up.

Hmmm.... I imagine a NSG posse going after the CFO of NSTS in the near future. :eek:



Edit:
If it pays out a div on its current state of .05 + .02 let me know because I am curious if it will.

aw, man...I was kinda trying to take it over...

We'll do what all Vetalians do: invest in it and hope the new owner knows how to run it.

Is a "Moar NS Thots!" thot a bad idea?

Edit: Ahh, too late, some country club is in the way. *continues making money*

I love this game... Vetalia's company just got taken over so fast it was like: :eek:

NSTS trade is frozen.

D'oh, Divine fluff, I should have made that connection. :p

here's something i don't get... take, for example, the NSG stock (http://www.thotmarket.com/thot.php?id=MzA5ODA2ODQuNA==).

the share price is 16 cents

the dividend is 1 cent per share

on that basis, should i buy stock in NSG, it will take me 16 dividends just to break even/earn my investment back. is this correct?

surely stocks like APL are much better as the share cost is 63 cents, but the dividend per share is 100 dollars. same with GOOGLEM
do i have this all wrong or what? :confused:

Fris, you need to put more shares into NSTS!

Sometimes I like to sleep during the night. 8400200 shares added.

(While I was sleeping I got a couple of huge purchases by other players, and the damn game swiped all cash over a billion dollars ... cost me close to four billion over the several times it happened. Boo hoo, I hear you saying, but you'll be there, and be pissed, soon enough)

and I now own 346240 shares of NSTS, thanks Fris. :D

All the new NS stocks that were issued since yesterday have now been added to the NationStates Bourse (link in my sig).

Folks, if you're creating tiny stocks with few or no public shares for roleplay reasons, more power to ya. However, those won't help anyone make any money (including you), and I'm going to consider delisting shares that stay frozen with tiny market caps. Just letting you know.

I love this game... Vetalia's company just got taken over so fast it was like: :eek:
Who took over it?

Photonet, KATGAN

Earned $20,000 overnight and bought 330,000 shares of NSTS.

EDIT: Just purchased another 8.8 million. Should be rolling in dough now. YAY!

Jolt Spam Forums are now paying dividends on par with NSTS. That sounds odd saying it btw. I have a lot of assets to keep it going now. So keep an eye on it because I am using that one as a base to learn how to get a stock to pay div's.

The thing is that it is not telling you how often that dividend is paid. As far as I can tell the penny stocks that pay dividends are your best bet. As for the actual dividend rate it depends on a lot of factors that I have figured out but don't know 100%. So best bets right now are go with penny stocks with a growth number that is high. Your best odds are with those for dividends.

very true... the high dividend stocks i've invested in have yet to actually pay a dividend :(
the penny stocks with high growth numbers are paying out much more regularly

however the penny stocks (with high growth numbers) also seem to nearly always be sold out (such as HBO, THEUK, NSTS, MYSPACE, etc)


NSG has stopped growing it seems, too...

Every NS-themed stock that I don't presently own is currently Frozen. Check your accounts and do something about it, please.

4 more minutes until some dividends should start pouring in....

... and NSTS didn't pay out. Damn it, I thought it paid out each turn. I'm gonna get $80,000 from it. -_-

Fris- literally one minute after I had added new shares to Snefaldia you snapped them up. Now she's frozen on me!

I would also like to announce that I am now officially a millionaire.

Net Worth: $1,217,881

i'm just waiting on APL to pay out... i'm no fan of ipods, but when the dividend comes it'll be 400k+ :P

I lost patients with GOOGLELABS and cashed in and made a profit of $600,000.

Remember that was the "last" dividend.

Don't buy MySpace I just killed that stock because the current manager can't keep it paying out a dividend. Bad CFO.....

You do get a return on that purchase, allowing you to issue or sell new stock. I'm just trying to help you guys out by feeding you some bucks.

Yes, but you're now the controlling shareholder- ya got there before I could buy more of my own stock! Thanks for the cash, though.

I've no idea what I'm doing, but I just invested nearly all my start-up in NSG.

So, what's an IPO? A dividend? And other such confusing words.

Skinny buy into either the NSTS or JSPF nation state stocks because they both are paying dividends and are controlled by NSTS(Fris), JSPF(me). NSTS is cheaper and has many shares still avail. JSPF has 13k shares avail at time of this post.

IPO: Initial Public Offering
Dividend: A sometimes regular payment per stock from a company.
