Which BPO set are you working on?
Mind you I could probably have searched for this, but you could've linked to it too. ---------------------- My *locked* EVE CV |

Originally by: Brock Nelson The main differences between IPO and Bonds is that IPO generally have a higher interest than bonds
no.
Originally by: Brock Nelson as well higher risk.
in RL, yes. in EVE, they are both easily scammable
the distinction is really whether the investor owns part of the company or if the company is in the investor's debt. I thought this had been covered before. ---------------------- My *locked* EVE CV |

Originally by: Brock Nelson An IPO shares all of the profit with the shareholders regardless of how much profit there is. It could be 9%, 20% or 0%. Investors of IPOs must understand that there could be no profit for the period which is basically what makes it IPO.
True Brock. There are typically no guarantees with IPO dividends. When they are successful ventures here in EVE, they do tend to pay out better than fixed bonds, I'll give you that.
SH, I would be wary of setting a min dividend for an IPO. If you're Intel and have a proven track record, that's more doable. Also such a 'guarantee' tends to blur the line between debt and equity financing. This is one of my MD pet peeves.

Originally by: Brock Nelson My suggestion is this: Make it completely public, 100% IPO with no set interest/dividend payment amount.
+1
Originally by: Brock Nelson This way, you're not subjected to making an x-amount of isk to pay to shareholders. The pressure will be off of you to make certain amount of isk.
umm... is that the work ethic you're using w/ T24U ?
In a public company (albeit one in a regulated economy) CEO's and directors do have a fiduciary responsibility to their shareholders. So, it's not really completely laissez faire. ---------------------- My *locked* EVE CV |
