11k I didn't have before.

Sorry. I don't know who Surprise Inc. is, but they sure lived up to their name. I've never seen something sell so fast. Me thinks me can up the price a bit...

Excellent. As long as we get you producing something that you can sell fast!

Wow do steaks and roasts take a lot of Cow! I think I may stick to Ground Beef and then Chicken and Pig products.

[Rip]

IPOed, go get em!

[stessier]

wOOt!!! In @ $1.01.

Thanks for the heads up! Now make me some money.

[Silky]

Heh.. I got in for $1.23 you are quicker on the trigger than me stessier. I really don't know how the stock market works other than people play some IPO game. Is that frowned upon around these parts if I sell my shares at a profit? I don't want to negatively impact Rip's shiny new company.

Doesn't matter to me. Sell at your pleasure/profit. I think it will @ at least 2 or 3 by Sunday. Time will tell. I won't be buying or selling any unless it all gets bought up. The I may consider selling a little.

I had practice from ND's IPO. I knew what buttons to hit and started spamming the Search function for "oo" at 7:59. As soon as it popped up, I pounced.

I would imagine it's fine to sell. The company's performance will have far more to do with it's stock price than our purchases. Assuming you don't have like 30% of the shares or anything.

Stupid question, but is it sold out? I'm trying to buy some but unable. Slider bar won't work, and I'm unable to enter a number. Am I just doing something wrong?

Companies can't own stock, so you have to use your private funds. If you don't have any, you can transfer it from the Company back to you through the Bank using negative numbers. If you have a Loan, though, I believe you have to pay it off first before you can pillage your Company's coffers.

Make sure you have money in your personal account. It won't use company funds.

Also, make sure you select the buy button at the top (above the slider) first, before moving the slider around. Completing the transaction requires the second button, below the slider.

I stumbled upon it tonight and bought 250,000 at $1. It's $2.43 now. C'mon, $5!

[Rip]

I am a little peeved now. All my damn CEO gigs expired minutes before rollover.

I am through with CEO gigs unless they are max salary and bonus!

For those of us not 1%-ers, what is the max salary and bonus?

[EzeKieL]

lots of cheap toys on the market now!

'lots' = max 5000 ^^

Yeah, that's a complete scam.

Any guidance on what to do with my JOIagri stock?

Take the loss or do you expect the owner to work the magic you were planning? I'm bailing either way, it's just a question of when.

[GreenGoo]

This is my last day of influence free expansions. I should hit 10 mil net worth tonight and that's level 5 for the player, the cut off point.

I got lucky and came in just shy of 10 mil today. Phew.

Can someone explain something to me? I'm missing something fundamental and maybe it's just the sleep cobwebs I'm still shaking off.

I have over 1 million in cash in my company this morning. Even after subtracting the $500,000 cash influx I pumped in yesterday from my personal account, I'm still left with hundreds of thousands more in cash than I had the day before. Yet my revenue sheet shows a deficit of almost $800K.

How does my cash balance go up while my earnings before tax be nearly a million in the whole? Note that my infrastructure didn't change except to grow larger.

I have more money than yesterday and have a negative balance sheet. How?

Did you transfer money from you personal account or take a loan and then spend it on infrastructure? That would do it. Also, if you had money in your account from the night before and spent all that, I think you could end up in the hole as well.

No, no new loans. My cash balance went up in the 24 hour period that I ran a deficit according to my revenue sheet. I did a cash transfer into my company of 1/2 a mil, but I'm still up if I subtract that 1/2 mil from my balance.

It's weird.

[GreenGoo]

Just spent over $500k on inventory. I'm hoping I won't have to do inventory for the rest of the day.

I had just shy of 2 million in store sales yesterday (my b2b was way down however. That's fine, store sales are higher margin anyway) and both stores are sitting at 100m^2.

Today/tonight, I'm buying a building for another industry. I just need to decide what. Probably a store that I will resell from until it's a good size, then buy a factory to prop up the margins.

[GreenGoo]

Anybody making glass bottles? Thinking of making a batch of rum. Market's empty. Could be some profit there for someone. Not from me, I'll only be buying a small lot. The market is completely devoid of competition right now though.

Edit: And now there are 3 lots for sale. never mind.

[Matrix]

Yeh, needs to be more time expansion. For example 7 days is good if its already industry with infrastructure, but if most buildings are still being built, then by the time 7 day are up, you are only starting to roll.

Kinda of idea with RJM right now. Its finaly has infrastructure in place for production, though store upgrades are still in progress.

I by accident realized we can make salt on food market. and considering production quantity RJM can mine...... if anyone needs cheap salt its 1.99 on the market and i think its 5million units of it.


I sadly was not around for IPO so bought a bunch for about 3 something a share.

Salary varies on the size of the company. 20% bonus.

They are sliding up now. I had a bunch of stuff on b2b and fields are less likely to stay producing. I wouldn't hold past Monday night unless something changes. Fruits it probably a little less risky than the others because I built about 300m^2 of markets.

Working on another Private company called Rip Racing that will make motorcycles at first. An OO Company will supply steel and rubber.

If you want to build an Electronics store AN OO Company sells everything they sell and I am doing my best to maintain a b2b stock. You could get by running with just 24hrs inventory I would expect. Stuff is a little expensive but so is the profit.

I had some up last night, must have sold. Not to worry I am churning those out when I can as well.

OK guys I have been noticing something else that I think is wrong, but not being very accountant like I need help from the octopedes.

When you contribute capital to a private company it seems to count as earnings and gets taxed. I don't think this is correct. What do you guys think?

It's definetly shouldn't be taxed. This can get pretty complex, but owner investments in their own company should either be treated as a loan from the owner, or purchasing stock. along the same lines, you can transfer excess funds out of a private company to lower your tax rate from 15% to 1%. (.5 to move the money to the owner, .5 to move the money back to the business after the midnight processing.)

[Rip]

Just messaged with developer and he thought he had removed that being taxed. We will see tonight on the Rip Racing revenue report.

[stessier]

Third Chance, Inc. is now a Nano-cap! Now to see if I can sustain the growth. I'm branching out into a new territory and it's expensive to get a factory up and running to the standards I have grown accustomed.

[Sepiche]

I've made 9 million on the market so far today. Keep up the good work boys!

[Rip]

I'm selling off as I see chances trying to build some cash back up.

AN OO Company is doing well and has plenty of cash. I am expanding the second electronics factory I built last night to 100m^2 and will keep sizing it up until it is at 600m^2 like the other one.

Even without guaranteed sunglasses and sports watch sales they get bought off b2b for what I ask as fast as I can make them. Same with electronics. Went to bed after posting over $4million in digital cameras and they were gone before I woke up. Along with most everything else.

[stessier]

Milk in a Carton is back on the B2B at $4.95 if anyone wants it.

I picked up 2k. Thanks.

[Matrix]

To those who interested, RJM will show a huge up swing in sales and b2b after today, which probably means it stock price will shoot up.

Platzkart is doing well too, 4th market came online today. though it seems all platzkart shares are sold out atm. I will release some amount tomorrow, though not sure where since pretty busy this weekend with other stuff.

Good advice but it's too much start up capital for me. I'll probably start with something lower end.

I'm temped to get a livestock pen, farmers market and slaughterhouse. How are raw meats doing? Still viable?

Edit: Meh, need food processing plant too. That would actually help with more than the livestock, but I want to get farther away from food, not more wound up in it. Livestock has some items that I can use outside of the food market later on, which is why I considered it.

[Sepiche]

Most still seem to be holding steady at around 60% demand.

Not bad....but food processing...plus food R&D.... (edit already have food R&D. For sugar->Beverages and did pepper too, not sure why. Because it's a crop probably).

I'm already deep into this food thing but man....

Think think think.

Edit2: Reviewed the meat tech tree. It's complicated and would make a great focus for a business. Unfortunately it's too interwoven for me to dabble in. I might be able to get away with livestock->slaughterhouse->farmer's market but even that requires a few items to go through food processing first. Not to mention livestock R&D would need to be added.

Not ready for that kind of commitment yet.

I think a lot of it because there were no large players on the market, Big meat starting to find its bearings and starting to scale. I actually sell a lot less on b2b today after i got my 4th farmers market upgraded.

I dont see meat holding up for much longer, even with demand holding at 60% atm, enough large plants come online and will get flooded as long as infrastructure starting to kick in.

IN RJM, the scale of mining is so huge that i cant keep up with mines atm, might need to get another smelter.
