Edited by: Ender2006 on 17/07/2009 22:29:08 The Goal 20 billion in capitol sought for investment in trading activities for a period of 3 months (July 18th - October 17th) minimum investment - 250m maximum investment - 1500m (unless goal is not reached)
Terms of Repayment Interest will be paid each month according to the following table: 10% - Corporation Members 9% - Previous Investors 8% - New Investors
Scheduled Payment Dates August 15th September 19th October 17th
Collateral in case of UFO abduction 4bln of the 20bln in total capitol is secured by my holdings in IRD bonds. In the case of my sudden incapacitation, Ulecese is authorized to repay investors 20% of their initial investment from this amount, regardless of interest payments made prior to disappearance. This will be on his own schedule depending on when he has available funds and in no case is he authorized to make payments prior to October 20th without my written approval.
Restrictions 1.) Investors may only receive a return of their isk ahead of schedule after a 25% penalty for early withdrawal (unless it is within 1 day of the month's interest payment in which case a 15% penalty will be assessed) This is necessary due to the huge penalty for liquidation of assets by selling to buy pricing.
Late Payment All invested funds must be received by Sunday July 19th at 21:00 GMT. Each day the payment of funds is late will result in 1/30th of the interest rate/month being subtracted from the payout and may result in a replacement being found. Likewise if I am late paying interest I will pay a 0.5% bonus rate for every day payment is late.
Market Techniques - with approximate percentages of capitol Loyalty Point Purchases - 40% LP Purchase Program Posting The large increase in requested capital is due primarily to the opening of a new market. LP purchases. Several million in loyalty points have been purchased, a customer base is being established, and spreadsheets with all 28k faction/item/pricing combos are about 20% complete.
T2 Module Resell - 20% Purchase of bulk modules from IRD supplier generates steady profit but slow sales in more profitable regions requires higher capital requirements as they gradually build up.
Module Monopoly - 10% Risky but huge profits when pulled off successfully.
POS Fuel supplier -5% 18 days away from freighter 5. Have one inconsistent purchaser who requires 5-6bln in pos fuels delivered quickly. Good profits when available.
General Outer Hub trading - 10% Purchase of modules and minerals cheaply in jita and resold in other hubs
T1 ship building - 5% slow and steady profits
Miscellaneous - 10%
Audits No, I will not be completed an audit prior to this offering. Frankly, it wasn't necessary with my previous offers. Regardless, I will let me previous investors and offerings speak for themselves. If I can't raise the funds, then I may reconsider.
Capable of making interest payments? The lowered dividend on this bond offer versus my last profit share actually makes it so the expected total payout is very similar to the previous offering. As such profits in excess of these payments should not be an issue.

Any questions? Feel free to ask.

Not a bad layout for a bond. Decent rates (I like the tiers for different types of investors). Timeline is acceptable, partial collateral is minor but a plus. A diverse set of things you're trying to do.
Obvious things people are going to yell about in the next 20 posts will be: an audit, your time investments + RL commitments, whether or not your corp mate investors are real, and probably something about you being Reithe (if YGR is around). So you might want to address those sooner than not.

Also, should you not be able to raise the full capital i'll buy up the remaining bonds for whatever you are short to take it to the 20b.

Edited by: Ender2006 on 18/07/2009 03:43:03 hehe thanks dj, I wanted to do a profit share again like last time but I had way to many of my own assets unsold across my accounts. It would have been a nightmare to try and keep track of what was mine and what was part of the profit share. Woulda had to wait a few more weeks to close out everything and this lp stuff is nuts, didn't want to wait and miss out, bought 850k so far tonight and no sign of slowing down.

Originally by: Salpad I'd like to reserve for 250M. Once you confirm I'll send the ISK.
I've now sent the ISK, but from my alt Sal II, since I'd prefer that he is the one receiving the dividends. Easier to keep track of, for me, if he holds all my profit-giving shares and bonds.
(I don't know whether we get shares or not; if we do, I could just give him the shares, but I couldn't find any info about it in the OP, so I'm doing it this way around to increase the probability that dividend payouts goes to Sal II rather than to me.) -- Salpad |

... was just a wild guess on my part. As indicated by this graph the misspelling of capital has been getting out of hand in MD during the last few weeks (quarterly data from eve-search). As there are currently 3 active posters (James Tundra, Covert Kitty & you) preferring "capitol", I thought maybe you have some links.

Just caught up on this offering.
For someone not quite in the ultra safe group this is a very large offering. 5B-20B is a big jump.
I personally would have looked for an audit on this, especially as you haven't had any on previous ones.
Academic seeing as you raised the capital.

Thanks Cosmo. yep, investor enthusiasm seems unlimited but I anticipate being able to make it easily worth their while :)
As for the jump in capital I hadn't planned on that either but to give you some numbers...
Since this morning alone I have purchased 750k amarr lp (1500m in item and lp costs) 90k Republic Fleet lp (180m in items and lp cost) 500k republic fleet lp (~1050m in items and lp cost) 143k amarr lp 69k caldari lp
Also have emails waiting from 60k caldari lp 250k assorted lp 200k guristas lp 54k fed navy lp 90k ammatar lp 175k Fed navy 407k republic fleet
Since this morning I have sold (roughly) 500 amarr crystals 200k republic fleet ammo and 6 or 7 hard-wires worth a combined 1300m or so
Although the sales aren't keeping up with the purchases, they are proceeding nicely and offer stellar profits on each and every item. I have also been able to increase my offer price for lp as I became more established and confident and my spreadsheets more extensive.
the amount of lp available for my purchase is growing exponentially at the moment with no signs of slowing down. In fact, I really need to go eat some lunch :-P As such, I anticipate large inventory buildup which require large amounts of capital. Thus the large jump. Its a market that offers great potential but some large capital outlays.

Never underestimate the lazyness of players. I cashed in 700k lp on my alt last week with Ender at 900k/lp. You'd think someone reading this forum might have a tad more business savey, but unless you go down the route of navy ships, it can be quite a lengthy process to cashout lagre quantities of LP. (admitedly there was a cash out option with implants)
Ender basically offers a nice lazy way to get isk. You could do research, being items, convert, take to a hub, play the .01isk game etc etc...or you could have Ender turn up and 20m later you have isk in your hand and you are back killing Zor again. As much as mission runners claim the isk/h isn't that high, unless you've got second accounts and alts, the opportunity cost to cash out LP can be quite high. I've even heard stories of players sitting on the 4+ million LP as they "don't have time" or "it's not worth cashing in"
I think this is a money spinner for now, but once the copycats start, it'll lose a chunk of it's profitability. But by then we'll have our interest and iskies back (hopefully ;) )
I suppose this must be my sig. I'll do something cool with it eventually. |

Hey all - thanks for the month's funding. Real life caught up with me though and I'm completely closing all trading aspects of this game so what little time online I'll be spending pvping with my corp mates.
As such this month's payout will be sent as followed: Principle + month one interest + 0.5% late fee + 2% closing early bonus.
Thanks for trusting me with this and best wishes in your next venture!

Sorry to hear your closing shop! I will just have to get off my ass and sell my own Lp store items.
Look me up if you ever get back into the trade business again.

Isk received, thank you.
If you decide to launch another offering please could you add me to your reserve list?
Out of curiosity, how successful has the Loyalty scheme been, and have you considered selling the business model?

Gonna miss your moneymaking schemes, Elder. You were always a good investment. As someone else mentioned previously, if you ever start up another endeavor, please keep me in mind for your list of potential investors.
Good luck with your PVPing and any other paths you decide to take! Most importantly, have fun! It is a game, after all.
EDIT: I can't spell worth a damn.

The lp redemption program was wildly successful. Generating maybe 50-100% return on average for each isk spent. It was very heavily capital intensive and needs a trader presence in every major market hub and online availability to meet with sellers. Quickly established trust and positive feedback are also essential as they connect you to additional sales. Lots of courier contracts helped move stuff around.
LP supply was plentiful with a waiting list of sellers beyond my capacity to fulfill with my current time constraints. I would predict based off my experiences that one could secure a supply of 3-5m lp/week without too much hassle.
How much of that profit margin were due to the rumored mission banning and tightening of the lp supply I won't ever know, but I saw an opportunity and made isk off of it. It is my opinion though, as I have previously detailed, that macroer's only significantly effect implants and ship markets due to velocity of sales. As such I had fairly free reign in the faction ammo, hardwires, etc markets which are continually under-supplied. Jita runs out of popular variants in these fields routinely and spotting those spikes easily allows for temporary 3-5k isk/lp profits if your speadsheets are continually updated.
I intend to provide a few friends with my current spreadsheets so you may see variants crop up. The business certainly has way more potential than even I demonstrated.

This was why I was willing to invest (i'd have slotted in 15B if Ender hadn't put a limit on it :p) There was always the risk of copycats getting on board, but I felt that the large amount of isk capital required would prevent them getting a foothold and by the time anyone lese did, Ender would have been well known and established.
I could see this business model working very well if 4 or 5 people got together to do it. More players able to gather the LP, greater time zone coverage & less pressure on the single person.
If you still remember your best clients Ender, you could sell that list on for easy money.
I suppose this must be my sig. I'll do something cool with it eventually. |
