NS is already gaining. up .02

Wohoo! This should be fun.

w00t! 950 shares for a dollar ea. NS is gonna be HOT.

Alright I already figured out a basic here. Whatever the set sale price for the owners of the stock is what drives the price of the stock. So if we all set our sale price for NS at let's say $2 then that will push the price up.

Now up $1.75 and near the top as most popular. Remember you can create as many user accounts as you want.

NS is already 2.75. Foolish me for not paying more attention. I got cleaned out selling at 1.09 a share. :(

Lesson learned I guess. Make sure you set your selling price yourself and don't let it auto-set on stocks.

What is this? Is there real money involved? Why, what's being paid for? It advertising somehow involved? I don't get it!

No there is not real money involved. This is a beta stock game that is created for sites on the net. What the guy wants to do I believe is have the websites eventually pay for spots on his stock market game.

So far it looks as if there is only 10,000 shares allowed per thot. I wonder if it allows for splitting? There has been some changes to the old version. I think the unlimited shares crashed the first one.

Edit: I think I am wrong and maybe the intial cash limits the stock offering. Possibly with more cash one can offer more shares. Still learning....

They are also limiting new accounts to one per email it appears.

Lesson learned I guess. Make sure you set your selling price yourself and don't let it auto-set on stocks.

Lesson learned definitely.

Can you still make money by buying cheap stocks and living off the interest or whatever it was?

They mixed it up a bit. So I think we are going to have to learn this all over.

Neat! I'll have to check that out when I'm sober. :p

Well I'm going to try to do it the old way during Beta, I'll report my findings.

Anyone making money yet?

I just sold 555 shares of facebook for $1.50 each, after buying them at .36 cents each.

I just sold 300 shares of Kongegrate, made them for 1ct each, sold them for 50 cent each :)

Woohoo, profit :D

I'm making a small fortune by simply raising my selling price more than the default 2%, essentially I triple or quadruple the price - but I can't see how to sell shares when I want, or even how to manage my account beyond buying and then immediately raising the selling price from the link given in the message.

I just made Snopes (SNPS) and I think I fucked it up.

Regardless, I bought 150 shares of NS. Neat.

I'm doing the same, I guess we have to wait for the dividend to kick in so that we can really start cashing in :)

I've essentially bought into forum boards with the idea that they will be the vehicle for spreading the news about Thot and they have user loyalty, which means people will buy so, initially, they'll be the big risers - I might change if I can be bothered to keep this up but given my previous Fantasy Football pools, I'm not sure this will be the case.

Don't forget the NS stock at $3.50. A bit pricey but the capitalization is one of the highest.


my current net worth is 5.1 mill

As the old saying goes. Sex sells.

One other thing I want to mention is that purchasing comments is how a thot earns money and thusly how it pays dividends. Check the bottom of the information page of every thot to leave comment.

How does your $10 translate into dividends?

Is it just divided among the shares?

Yes, once it hits $100 in earnings per 10k stock it will issue a .01 dividend. So the more earnings the more dividend. I suppose that it would probably benefit if a stock had a flame war going in in the comments section. ;)

Heh I was trying to figure out a way to actually make it worthwhile me putting cash on it

Was thinking the same thing. Like I said a starting a flame war is probably the best way however I am wondering the long term viability in how they have this set up. Basically it requires more users to join to infuse new cash into the market. If no users join up then there will be no stock trading because there is no way to sell your shares without a buyer and it requires one to pay money into comments to generate dividends. See the overall problem with how they currently have this set up? I imagine that they are going to have to change the dividend system to develop cash flow to sustain interest.

Notice that NationStates is paying out a dividend of .12 a share. GM how much do you want to bet on your clones success?

so, any tips on how to get rich there quick?

Why did you put so much on the comment? You lose out on it surely

You have to look at it this way. If you control the stock as I do you can control the share price to a degree. So if I put in 1,200 into the dividend then I can attract buyers which raises the price. So I can technically recoup my money and then some. At least that is my theory. I am going to do some tests on IPO's and immediate dividends. I think I can make some decent money using this method.

Buy low sell high. ;)

Currently paying $1 dividend:

What else could it be than Cash!

Buy low sell high. ;)
Oh, thanks. :D

I have begun the Comment war!

NS is currently paying out .35 dividend.

I'm in. I already have a controlling interest in MICROSOFT, thanks to some quick work. I'm also offering SNGBRD as my own thot for sale [/product placement] I am, of course, also invested in NS.

I have the cash to start two more $1 dividend stocks. Will post names as they start up in the system. Seems everyone likes dividends. ;)

Edit: I went with a lower price dividend at a lower cost per share. You can now buy GOLD!(Gold!)

$2.00 a share with a dividend rate of .40

Took over controlling interest in Microsoft and produced a dividend rate of .08 on .84 share cost.

My clone?

Not exactly but you know what I meant. Didn't mean anything bad by it.

I figured out the dividends early. Only now does it seem one other has figured it out. Also it helped that I was the one that brought NationStates to a IPO.

Can you add me to those who had figured it out? :D

Alright I know most wouldn't explain it because they are greedy but here it goes. First off start an IPO for around $50 - 10k shares. Starting price at .01. You now own all the shares. Move your stock price up to your desired level. Will use $1 as an example for this. Set your stock at $1. The obvious thing you need to do is give an incentive for someone to buy that stock. Dividends are the most obvious incentive. If you turn around and set a .20 dividend on a $1 stock then that is a decent return. You set dividends by buying comments. $2000 will give you a .20 dividend. Then you start selling your stock. Now if you plunged 2k into dividends you want to make sure you make money right? The point of dividends is that they pay out on every single stock available. That includes the stock you still hold. Lets say you sold 1k of those stocks for a dollar. You received $1000 and will end up paying $200 in dividends out of the 2k you initially put in there. Let's say you only sold 1k shares until the dividend pays out. You get most of the 2k you put into the comment back with the remaining shares you own minus the $200 you pay out on the 1k shares you already sold. You still end up with a profit of $800. Get it? Cash in the bank is the name of this game not net worth. I checked this morning and found that I had 60k in my account. This happened because I was selling my IPO dividend stocks & my dividend payments recieved. Every day the dividend has to be reset so remember that. The next day you may not be able to give as large of a dividend because of the amount of IPO shares still held.

You are the only one that has figured it out outside of me and profited from it.

Thank you. :)

But I don't think I have the money right now to start a new IPO. I. need. to. divest. myself. of. these. stocks!

I'm in. Bought everything from NS to Obama.

Thank you. :)

I will help you get one out the door. Start an IPO for $10 and follow the method I told you. Link the IPO on here and I will buy 2k worth of stock off you. Move your price up to $1 first. You will still have to buy a comment for 2k after I buy the shares off you. Let me know which stock it is.

Appears there is a glitch. Looks like some are cheating.:(

NSG is currently trading at $11.22, and a dividend of at least $0.11/share is pending. Thanks Marrakech II, for telling us how to create dividends.

Nice.

As for the cheating bit I have mailed him(The big dog) about what I thought he should do and he has come to the same conclusions as I was suggesting. Currently things are fixed so no one else can cheat at the moment. He also adjusted peoples bank accounts to reflect the cheating.

Monday the Thotmarket goes live on a grand scale. This is the day that the email goes out to everyone letting them know it is back in action. I say we as in people on NSG take advantage of this so we can run the place. I am off to a good start but if anyone needs help launching a IPO with a dividend let me know on this thread.

Also I would like to know who is who on Thotmarket. I know people on NSG are using a different name while in Thotmarket. Post your names on Thot so we all know who the traders are. I use my name as most already know.

no, no, no, no, no.... i got too addicted to this last time. plus i sucked. do not want!!

Good luck trying to stay away. ;)

*blocks every NSer using the thing and sticks head under the sand*

that's better :P

Anyone need help to get going?

NSG is looking at an $0.18 per share dividend this time around. If you stockholders want a higher dividend, feel free to buy comments to raise it.

You guys got that stock too high of price for me to get into. Also I would suggest cracking the top 5 list for dividends in order to sell your stock. As you probably already realize I always am in that top 5.

I need money in order to raise the dividends. The problem is, like in real life, my ThotMarket bank balance is always empty (or close to it).

Just bought 30 shares. :P

I offered to help anyone. What you should do is create a new $1.00 stock tomorrow when the dividends get reset I will buy 2k worth of shares(tonight). Turn around and then offer a .20 dividend by buying a comment in the am. Whatever you sell will come out of the dollar asking price. I will not undercut it. Then whatever is left over you can collect a div. If you do it let me know which stock it is and will purchase 2k $1 shares.

Alright set it up for a tomorrow div run. .20

The dividend is set for tomorrow.

The dividend should have been set tomorrow am..... Anyway you can still set it tomorrow morning again. You probably won't sell to many tonight and recoup your money when the dividend pays out late tonight. I will throw in another $200 in the comment in the morning to bring the dividend up to .20 again.

Edit: fixed crappy grammar.

Did you give up??

Anyone that owned NationStates stock NS has a decent amount of money in their accounts. I bought out 79 shareholders except for the funny guy that had their shares valued over a thousand. Anyway you all have money in your accounts. Feel free to invest in other "Marrakech" dividend stocks.

Yay! I now has money! :D Thank you, thank you, thank you!

I have a new thot on the market. It's called GMAC, $1 price, and has a $.14/share dividend scheduled.

I bought it up to help you out. Share price now is 2.28 with a $1.14 dividend.http://www.thotmarket.com/thot.php?id=Mzg4NzQxNDguMjg=

I've got two that I just bought controlling interest in. CHEVY (current price $1, and a dividend of $.25/share), and HITMAN (current price $1, and a dividend of $.62/share).

Don't know if you seen my message on Thotmarket however dividends are good and you will make money but you want to do them around 7am EST to get the best bang for the buck. I noticed between 7am-8pm EST is the best bet for selling shares. So if you can hit the majority of that window of time you will be selling a lot of shares. Also you want to get into the top 5 of dividends if you can. A good ratio of share price to dividend rate is 50%. A two dollar share with a 1.00 div. is good. That will cost you 10k to get rolling.

Anyway it sounds like that buyout I did helped you out. I am experimenting with a bit of corporate raiding. Will let you know if it works.

Yeah, I saw your comment (I'll try to remember for tomorrow). Thanks again for buying out that other thot. I couldn't pass up the Hitman stock, though. The share price was almost exactly the same as the dividend price (the original controller had the share price at $.59, and the dividend at $.56 when I purchased). The CHEVY stock was a similar situation.

Ok, how do I sell?

This beta is much different then beta 1. You can't just dump shares anytime. There has to be a buyer in order for you to sell. If a stock sits to long and has a capitalization then you will start to get dividends. If it doesn't have a capitalization you are kind of screwed because it will become worthless. You need to be careful what you are investing in. The best thing to do is offer stocks with a dividend. That is how I earn my money.

Hey Gun one more thing. If you bring your own IPO remember to at least put in $500 to start the thing. If you don't you will end up with the market mechanism that triggers thots to buy back. It is a bit ugly and you lose a large chunk of money. So make sure you are at least at $500 starting capital for an IPO you plan on doing a dividend with. If you plan no dividend you don't need to worry about it.

Dammit...I got worthless stocks.

Try and create a new account if you have to. You have to be careful what you are buying.

I really screwed this up. My entire portfolio is only worth $3500, I over-diversified, I'm stuck with a bunch of worthless stocks I can't get rid of, and all I've accomplished is learning that I should never, under any circumstances, attempt to make real investments.:(

NSG has a dividend again of $.56/share, with a trading price of $1/share.

Ok, so whats a good stock to invest in?

The way it is set up right now is a bit funky. There are not quick returns unless you are doing what I do and Gun does. That would be creating thots and making dividends. However you need cash to make cash.
