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

Not every one however it takes money to get them with high stock counts. I control NS2 and JSPF so will keep on top of those but seems I cannot keep them avail to long because of people buying them. ;)

Its dividend time, but i didn't got dividends from NSTS.

NSTS dosen't pay dividend (it lost its high growth status with the +134254525) so i reinvested all my money in NSNET, which were paying. (they have high growth status [+68470100.35])

I'd love to add shares to SILLY, however my controlling interest in it got bought out by someone named revthwack.:(

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.

Looks like you got it back, along with the extra shares I tossed in for new buyers. Better snap some up before somebody bigger does.

This game is too easy, I'm afraid. Once you figure out a few tricks or get a couple lucky breaks (I own/control both GOOGLELABS and BEATTRIB - check out the available shares and market cap) it's just a pile of money you can't really do much with. The webmaster is going to need to add some controls and subtlety if this is going to be interesting.

I noticed. I'm trying to steal it back for you.

Looks as if Deat is taking off. Looks as if it is paying dividends. Someone confirm.

Wow some of these stocks are paying off real frequently.

Just keep an eye on them and make sure they maintain their dividends positions.

Yeah I bought into that one. Figure if done right it will turn out well.

I invested all my money on NSNET, and now i get almost $1,700 dividend. is that considered profitable for someone in his second day? (consider that in the first day, i did many noobish stuff)

Also, what stocks have good dividends in comprasion to their value? (and they pay him regulary) because NSNET has regular dividend pay but only $0.01 per stock.

Yeah thats not bad. I didn't find Solomons mines like Fris did but I have 40 mill in assets my second full day. Just keep buying the dividend stocks for a source of income then start an IPO to make some cash that way as well. You could also take over a company through stock buying. That will payoff as well sometimes.

K. Thanks man. but most of the companies i see have alot of stocks, and i can't take them over.

wow.... :eek: i need more money to invest. i think i did a ton of stupid stuff yesterday :-S

i have about 10 grand net worth and am investing as much as possible in those frequent paying stocks, but still only have 40,500 shares in NSNET for example... getting about $100 a pop

doesn't it, uh, say?Not when you don't, uh, look. :p

Mine was near 4 mill :eek: Damn! I need to buy more shares obviously.

NSNET stopped paying dividend. someone got a stock that pays good dividend in comprasion to its value (and pays it regulary) as i might need to replace NSNET as my dividend stock.

Frisby you released to many shares on the market for NSNET. The dividend is dead for now until the gap in shares and capitalization is closed. Either you can buy them yourself Fris or it is going to have to be bought by other players. To much to fast will kill a dividend that I can tell from my few days here. Even and steady growth is the key I believe.

Does NSTS pay dividend, or there is any chance NSNET will resume paying it?

i hope this resolves well as i've been investing mostly in NSNET...

I haven't been able to get in quick enough to ANY stock, and although I have made a profit, there isn't enough time before the sun engulfs the earth for me to make millions.

I'm not sure I buy your theory. JG and DEAT continue to have spectacular results, and they're waaay over-capitalized. I think part of the reason may have been me buying vast quantities (1,370,000,000) at .04 with my other account, since it was a bargain.

I'll do some experiments the next time something popular is running a bit low. In the meantime, maybe I'll start some buy-backs on some of the smaller issues, see if that jump starts them. Let's start with some of my cheaper and under capitalized issues, like

http://www.thotmarket.com/images/ticker/ILLOGIA.png (http://www.thotmarket.com/thot.php?id=MzE0MDk0ODIuOA==) and http://www.thotmarket.com/images/ticker/CDMT.png (http://www.thotmarket.com/thot.php?id=MzEzMjcyOTYuNDQ=)

If they start to slow down, I'll refresh them with 5K to 100K instead of my usual 100 million to 2 billion.

It's boring being rich.

So, I gave this some time for people to post and try to figure out what the hell this thread is about, and it still remains as opaque as ever. 19 cents, though - I knew I was cheap, but damn.

DEAT did the same thing. So maybe there is a method to my madness.....

NSTS pays out every 3 hours it seems.

Good enough for me.

WOOT is currently available with shares. I just bought 1 bill. Will see if it pays off good. ;)



Edit:

LOL, I just got a one time div payment of 30mill from woot!


Woot! Woot!

Edit2: I now own 4.1 billion in WOOT!

Remember that dividends are entirely related to the number of clicks the links get- nothing else.

If people aren't clicking, you aren't going to make any money.

I know people are clicking some of the links that I have for those $100 dividends but I haven't gotten squat yet!

Fris how long have you been playing this because you have a majillion shares in everything?

Apparently, I've been doing this wrong. Should I reinvest all my capital in just one inexpensive stock, and then reinvest the dividends?

Wow woot.com is THE ONE to invest into. I just made $1.2 million in two hours from it alone.

Let's see. Since post #4 of this thread. 17-10-2007, 11:14 PM. That makes it half an hour short of three days.

The owner will release more since he probably realizes what a cash cow it is for him and the people buying his stock.

The owner is releasing a hundred trillion shares every hour or two. That's the limit - the game takes everything over $1,000,000,000 in cash before you can touch it.


The reason I am so damn rich is that I have two accounts, and each was lucky enough to gain ownership in a cheap stock with an ENORMOUS pile of available shares on my second day. Since I didn't have to build those myself, I could sit there and collect every time someone else bought shares, and of course I bought my own shares to assure my position. So all I needed to do was to have my two accounts buy each other's mass holdings.

Effectively, I could pass the same trillion back and forth between the two accounts, building up shares until I got bored. At this point, each account has about 1.3E+13 shares of BEATTRIB and GOOGLELABS. That makes them the highest market cap shares in the game, by far. And yeah, I'm bored. I beat the game. I'm done.

If anyone wants an issue with a huge backlog of shares (92,632,533,850), buy GOTAPEX. You'll need 10,000,001 shares to take ownership of it from my other account. Right now, that would take $400,000.04. Have at it.

Tomorrow morning I'll blow some bucks on new IPOs at $0.02/share. They'll each have something like 100 billion back shares, but I'll only have a million shares reserved in each. That means you can take over ownership of 100 billion free shares for $20,000. If you want, you can send me a TG with the link and share name (include a backup) you want. I'll let you edit in the title and text once you take it over.

I'll make 'em and give 'em away, but it's up to you to hang on to them. Better start saving ... and watch out for your 'friends' in NSG.

Lol. Awww.

I'm so glad you found that amusing. :rolleyes: What am I doing wrong? I tried to start a new account, but I still only have $1000. I opened up a new company, but there are very few stock shares. What did I do wrong here? And is there any way to set dividends for the stock?

Don't start your own company right away. Invest in fast-rising penny stocks. They're listed elsewhere in the thread. Don't even THINK of starting your own company until you have $50,000 lying around, and a decent income from your penny stock dividends.

You can steal other companies. Hint: Look up three posts.

My portfolio value is minus 34 million... what's up?

I now controll drak cool

Fris,

My theory has worked on NSNET. I bought up 5.1 billion in stock from that massive dump you did. Guess what happened?! Dividend is back and the market cap is 450 mill. So I guess this old dog knows how to play this game. ;)

Big things to come...... :p

My portfolio value is minus 34 million... what's up?

hahaha, how did you manage that one?

Wow...huge error in one of the stocks. They had a negative valuation, so they actually paid out when being purchased. I just made 250 Million by buying 600 million shares.

Too bad real life isn't this easy.

anyone have any recomendations what I should do with the drak I just took over lol

That is not a mistake. That happened to Fris and myself to a lower extent. What happened is that the controlling person gets paid back for shares that they generated. So lets say you add a bunch of shares to a company 1 mill at .10 a share that would cost you 10 mill to do. When those shares are bought that means you get the money back. What happened when you took over that issue is that there were a bunch of shares outstanding that people bought up. The controlling person collects the "payback". If you happen to take over a stock with a large outstanding share balance and then they got bought up. Guess what? You get the "Payback" money even if you were not the one that generated the excess stock.

This confuses me. I just choose to be happy over the 250,000,000 that I just stumbled into.

Now, hopefully the reinvestment will make the stock perform better.

I am. I like money, even when it isn't real. I just hope that I don't lose my rather sizable investment.

Man I love this. Just got another $19 million dividend.

Whoo, I made $283,925 which I reinvested into my stocks. Every time I reinvest, I get more and more back and become richer and richer!

Hopefully by the next pay out I should be able to start my own stock.

I dunno... those negative values sure seem like a glitch. Went from being worth about $700 to over a billion by typing in the biggest numbers I could manage in the box.

And then made even more by dumping them when they went back to $0.01. Even paid the capital gains (would have taken forever to sell small lots).

Egads, this is addicting.

Yes it is, especially when you're making the big bucks.

Ok here are some stocks I run that are currently paying dividends.

NS2 (shares avail)

DEAT (shares avail) - Sorry Fris for the powerplay and taking this one away.

JSPF (shares avail)

DFK (shares avail)


UPIMP- this is an up and coming stock that should pay out in the near future. I am currently setting this one up for success.


Fris just took over AOD. It is currently trading at .01 and paying dividends. I just bought over 10 billion.

Invest in the Internet(s). Without it, we wouldn't be doing this.

I am just happy I was able to win back the stock I started (DRAK). It was rather embarrassing to my nation's stock controlled by someone else.

So that is what fris did?! LOL-hackers.....

Actually, I'm thinking Fris exploited a different bug:

Thursday 9/20: Several bugs related to the system change have been corrected: IPO's not assigning shares to owner (corrected), Improper awarding of 'returns' to majority share holders buying their own stocks.Start a stock, buy up all the shares and get paid. Sell shares and get paid. Wash, rinse, repeat.

Of course, I got dinged like Fris did:
10-21-2007 (Sun) Temp Fortune Cap -$119928902.64Oh well. It's "only" 119 million...

OK, AOM is not paying out a div now cause Fris lost control. Until he regains control or I can it doesn't seem that div's will be paid. Unless someone else can get control away from current majority owner.


UPIMP is now paying dividends. Be a pimp and buy some of the Red Light District stock.

Remember at "UPIMP" you are the pimp or ho, whichever you like. ;)

Now if Fris would just put out some more illogical stocks... (and by "some more" I mean "tons")

Fuck! I bought 11 billion stocks in AOD, and now it won't give out dividends? :(

Yay I'm now a millionaire! My net worth is $1,568,512

My own stock shall be coming soon. :)

Fuck! I bought 11 billion stocks in AOD, and now it won't give out dividends? :(

You should be able to sell it for the same amount you bought it at.

Edit: Second thought hang on for a bit cause someone bought a crapload of AOD.

I will cry if no divs are given, lol.

-gets tissues-

AOD paid out after all. I got my $11 million and ran.

Now if Fris would just put out some more illogical stocks... (and by "some more" I mean "tons")No longer fris-owned, I see. Oh well, now to tend to the ones I started recently...

Fris just took over AOD. It is currently trading at .01 and paying dividends. I just bought over 10 billion.
I didn't even realize it. It was just a money dump before I went to bed, since I'd just tried to crash APL (didn't work, btw). I got several mega returns on it, but lost all the cash to the wealth cap while asleep. Oh well. Not like I earned it in the first place.

w00t, I control Hack.

Does this mean I get Mod Immunity?

Damn, They took nearly a billion in taxes from me overnight! A bunch of commies must be runnin this place.



Anyway I added shares to all the Thots I control. They all pay various dividends.

Still going to try and get control of AOD and make that into a winner too. Will announce if I have success.

I am now Majority Shareholder of SERIES! :D

Gahh!

Stop overtaking my stock Wilgrove! -steals back 'Tubes-

Why did I just invest $60,000 in DEAT? It only pays like a 50 dollar dividend. What a waste! But then again "Weekly Windfall Tax" just hit me for three quarters of a million dollars anyway.

Towards the end there, I got into a bit of a battle with a couple of September players, back and forth stealing each others mass capitalizations. We're probably the reason he closed it.

That and the gorram wealth tax.

Appears as if they shut down the site. Is everyone getting that closed beta message? Maybe NSG had an influence? :eek:

I declare this a victory for NSG.

EDIT:

Well that was fun. I don't have an addictive personality but apparently I do when it comes to making money, real or not. Anyway will be back with the rest of you taking over this site in the future. :)

Time to watch some football!

I hope we don't have to start over when they re-open. Man it was fun though. :D

Why not? We can conspire and corner the market.

The site being closed down will hopefully give me time to figure out how to correct my mistakes and actually do well.

We have to do it more subtly though. Make it all conspiracy-Illuminati-Jews-control-the-economy sort of stuff.

Don't know if NSG could be subtle. I picture it more like a bull in a china shop. The guy running Thot market probably said "whoa, shit!" when we all came rampaging into his site.

Just listen to my advice and you will be fine. ;)

Another thing I was thinking is this guy could make an assload of money off this idea. Here is an idea or two.

1) Run this in game with games such as the SIMS or Everquest even maybe World of Warcraft. You would gain revenue by visitors of their respective games visiting certain areas. The players could also start companies and the like to make money in game. You would have to tailor it to the respective games but it would be an advertisers gold mine.

2) Set up with a economic game such as the likes of the old Starpeace or a new version of Simcity online. You could easily incorporate it into an economic game engine. People buying products at stores dictates the stock revenue and the other mechanics wouldn't have to be changed much.

Just listen to my advice and you will be fine. ;)

I'd appreciate that.

If the webmaster asks my advice (and yeah, I've offered on the private beta), I'd tell him to stop charging and paying back the owner for issuing new shares. Basically the owner pays twice when he sets it up, and then gets one of those back (hopefully at an inflated price). While the stock market climb may seem magical to some in its 'free money' mode, there is typically corresponding inflation to reduce your gain. On this site, it's just free money.

What I would do instead is set up a automated release at the start (10%, 30%, 50%, manual release) that leaves the owner in control, but reduces the market capitalization (and the share price) when new shares are issued. The automatic release would only trigger if there were no public shares. The owner doesn't get any money back from new issues, but he can set it up so he stays in permanent control or leaves the market in control. If he wants to increase his stake, he buys at the then-current price or risks losing control. I'd make it cost him to change that from the original setting, so people wouldn't constantly be manipulating it during the life of the stock.

If somebody links to a really cool site that gets lots of click, the controller could get 'options' to purchase shares at a lower price (or at the current price, but he can 'bank' them and hope for a price rise.

Right now, there's no way to recover from a disastrous choice on your own IPO. One way to fix that would be to let the controller trigger a dividend once per cycle or day, with a corresponding reduction in market cap and price. That way, he'd get a penny back for every share he overinflated, and eventually could invest that money elsewhere. It would also let him exit slowly without cap gains taxes, which are ruinous there.

The little trick with share value sometimes dropping into negative territory was just bad programming on his part. A penny stock can't pay out five cents every hour, and still be at one cent. What he was doing was having a cleanup routine simply take any negative valued stocks at the end of update and calling them $.01. Sloppy.

I'm sure there are other improvements that could be made to make it work as both a game and a social networking site. Hopefully he'll be open to suggestions.

Did you get into the private beta?

What the hell? It's closed!

Yeah well I was losing money anyway. Don't know how you got so much in so little time Fris...I barely neared 10k.

You should have gone for the Penny Stocks early.

I did, that's all I invested in and I took the dividends and kept reinvesting in them but that was as far as it went. I put some stocks in APL and GOOGLEMAIL but I never got a single dividend from them and had I gotten a dividend from them I would have had millions because they were $100/share or higher but yeah no dividend and I know people were clicking them, they were at the top of the list. Hogwash if you ask me.

I think we told you to get rid of those stocks and how to spot the penny stocks that were paying. You just didn't listen.:headbang: ;)

This thread moved pretty fast I must have passed by the the posts. The penny stocks were definitely nice though. Why was it they never yielded a dividend?

I explained why I thought they were not. In the end of the beta I figured out the method on to which to get regular dividends. I had five stocks paying regular dividends from .01-.22. I was also posting which ones that they were with a regular release of shares so people could buy.


The reason they never yielded a dividend while you owned those ones because the shares public vs capitalization rate were not in alignment for a dividend. Also when it said what the dividend was it did not mean what was going to be paid only what it paid the "last" time. That last time could have been a week ago. I looked at the stocks you were buying and they gave no indication that they were in the mode to pay div's.

Only 10k? For how long?

I made 43k after only two days, and I didn't know shit about what to do.

I was new at this too and in 2 days I was at 30 mil or so worth of portfolio ... things were about ready to really take off

I started playing the day this thread was posted.

I ended up making about 1.5 billion legit assets in a couple days even with them taking 1 bill in cash.

See this is why I don't play the stock market. I'd lose all my money.

Well the real stock market I lost my ass on a black Friday. After that I went almost completely to real estate.

I ended up making about 1.5 billion legit assets in a couple days even with them taking 1 bill in cash.I hauled in over a billion exploiting negative stocks (sloppy, sloppy), and then made a bunch more when the stock flipped to +0.01, even with the gains tax. Of course, the windfall tax lopped 850 million off my bankroll...

Well the real stock market I lost my ass on a black Friday. After that I went almost completely to real estate.How's that bubble treatin' ya?

How's that bubble treatin' ya?

It treats me well, especially after I shorted a bundle of real estate/homebuilders. These days, I'm making a killing off of emerging markets and tech, although I've moved about 10% more of my portfolio to cash, at least until the current volatility is worked out and we hit the winter rally.

How's that bubble treatin' ya?

As I have explained on here before I'm fine. Been doing real estate for 14+ years now. Was never into the turn and burn. Went the rental market way. Have done fine and now starting to build. Also want to add that the bubble is not the same everywhere. Also if one were really in the need to sell ones home there are ways to do it even in a slow market.

I'm guessing those involve chains, a dungeon, and a firepit for slow-roasting the feet of the buyer until he signs the contract ... ?

Ah well that was a wise choice. It's too bad its flubbing now, no?

I have many rentals. So the real estate stagnation hasn't hit the rental market only improved it. I am not gaining double digit growth on my property values but it doesn't matter really. As far as what I had done anyway was switch to new construction. I figure as an independent and using cash I have an advantage in the selling arena. Remember one thing that always holds true. Everything will sell for the right price. If I have to take a cut to sell a home then so be it. If I don't sell them then I can rent them. I am in a good position because I built them equity wise. Either way I look at it as a win win. Another side note to what I do. I never was into turn and burn like some of these rookies that are new to the market. People have been burned but I was never into that aspect.

I am currently doing a kidnapping scheme but I like your ideas. Maybe I can hire you as a consultant?

No I hear you. Right now I don't have the abilities to do the real estate aspect but I hope to when I get older, its the only thing that really gains in value.

Best scenario for someone that starts out is this: Have a job that pays decent so you can qualify for a decent loan.

Second make damn sure your credit is good. Pay your bills and don't acquire to much bad debt such as credit cards. Any payments you have will deduct from your potential loan payments.

Third build up some equity in your home or save some cash over a period of time. I figure about 25k in cash or in accessible equity in your first home will suffice. You could skip what I did in the begining and go straight to building homes. It is much easier then it use to be to build a home. It is almost as easy as buying a home. You can either build rental properties with lots of equity that you could break even on or sell them. If I had to do it all over again that's the way I would do it.
