Andron Blaxcor	Posted - 2009.10.09 21:03:00 - [35] Originally by: Tsang Chou I'll put in at 200m. I'm afraid that the current bond is full, but thank you for your interest. All investors except Chicus have now paid. Chicus, I would ask you to send me your investment before the end of this weekend. Otherwise the final 100m of the bond with go to Oltham who is first in line on the reserve list. Thank you to everyone else who has shown an interest but I'm afraid the boat has sailed for the time being. I may offer another opportunity in the future but have no specific plans for the time being. Thanks again for your support.

Andron Blaxcor	Posted - 2009.10.10 08:54:00 - [37] All isk has now been received and has been invested successfully. The first weekly business report will be posted on MD next weekend for any investors who are interested. Originally by: Chicus Isk sent. My apologies, I got ganked by rl... No worries, not a problem.
Andron Blaxcor	Posted - 2009.10.19 08:54:00 - [38] This is the first weekly update on progress of the bond. Sorry this is a little late, RL has a nasty habit of getting in the way of internet spaceshipz from time to time. I've decided to post this here as the forums didn't need a thread dedicated to stroking my e-peen. I post this less as an attempt to boost my space-ego, but more to keep investors abreast of returns I am making with their isk. On 9 Oct I had invested across three characters a total of 11.33bn isk (2bn of which was from public funds). On 16 Oct I had 12.91bn isk. I calculated these values /very/ coarsely by adding up my liquid isk, amount invested in buy orders and sum of sell orders. Real isk value is probably slightly lower due to taxes and overpriced sell orders (but I expect both values to be accurate to within 10%). However, as this equates to a profit of around 14% on the initial investment, my point is that I should easily be able to make the returns promised and, at this rate, make a tidy profit. Notable challenges this week have included balancing investments to make the most profit per unit investment and per unit time invested. A process which is now largely complete. I also found that one of my characters was significantly more profitable than predicted (due to the region I placed them in). Another was slightly less profitable. Overall, the plan is, so far, exceeding my expectations. Thank you for the investment which made this profit possible.

Andron Blaxcor	Posted - 2009.10.25 11:17:00 - [40] Second weekly update. On the start of the trading period on Oct 9 total value was 11.33bn. After one week (Oct 16) value was at 12.91bn. Another week later (23 Oct, this Friday just gone) total value was 14.00bn. This was a profit of 8.4% on the value of the 16th bringing the total profit made so far on initial investment to 23%. In other words, the interest owed by me has been accounted for and I'm now working solely for my own profit. Profits were down slightly this week due to a few factors. Most notable is that, as real life workload mounts on me I've had less time to play. I have adapted by updating the orders of my most profitable character nearly every day and the orders of the other characters every 3-4 days. As such, their profit has been decreased, but I am still trading at about 70% of my previous profit level due to the severe imbalance in my profit sources. Needless to say, this is something I will learn from the next time I position my alts. Another reason for the decreased profits is that I ran out of orders on my most profitable characters and was forced to cancel some orders for the same item in same station and re-construct one sell order from multiple sell orders. This often involved reducing the price of one of the sell orders and resulted in me having to pay another set of broker's fees. The resulting net reduction in my prices has lead to an increase in liquid capital which I will be investing this week. I feel that now all characters are set up to perform in an near optimal way given their locations and the amount of time I have to invest. Now persistence is the key requirement for making lots of isk Apologies for the complicated and opaque nature of this post, hopefully some investors will find it interesting. I just feel it's my job to keep them abreast of how their money is doing.

One word of advice don't stress yourself out too much to get X amount of profits etc.It is a game and as such burnout will occour faster then you think if you keep going hard at it for a longer time.
Phoebe Halliwel	Posted - 2009.10.25 20:48:00 - [42] Thank you for the updates Andron, I wouldn't worry too much about whether your investors are replying to the posts; they are being viewed and probably also noted by other potential investors or people considering launching a bond themselves. The only other stock related updates I recall seeing from the offerer recently are Evalfs and LoW's. I generally find these interesting reading, and it's a good way for people who launch offerings to maintain a dialogue with investors. Even if it appears they are talking to themselves a little it does demonstrate a degree of commitment in some ways. Good luck with the next phase. A final document charting profits per month would be useful. I don't recall ever seeing a "final audit" from an auditor on an offering, but it would be interesting if we could get these as well as the initial one so the auditor can verify that the sucess of the trader for the period. I don't know whether you would consider that? If so it's likely you would need to get frequent data dumps now so the data can be stored as I understand there are limitations on how much data can be extracted retrospectively.

One word of advice don't stress yourself out too much to get X amount of profits etc.It is a game and as such burnout will occour faster then you think if you keep going hard at it for a longer time. Heh, no worries about burning out, I play about 40 min a day at the moment. A bit dull because it's all tweaking orders but the profit makes it worthwhile. I do have a profit goal: to have at least 10bn by the end of the year (a goal I set myself a few months back) Given that 4.6bn of my assets belong to investors I'm not far off an should break the 10bn mark some time this week I'm not going to get too stressed about anything over that.

Glad you're finding them interesting. It's tough towing a line between making them interesting and giving away my markets. In the end this is a little bit of me talking to myself, I'm not too fussed if investors respond or even read them, but I said I'd do them so I am. The idea of an end-of-bond audit sounds kinda interesting. As I said, my methods of estimating profits are rather crude and it would be nice to see what someone with the programs and skills to use them thinks. I'll contact VV and find out if he's interested.
Andron Blaxcor	Posted - 2009.10.31 01:07:00 - [44] Third week's trading report. The total worth of trade assets increased this week from 14.00bn to 14.74bn. This means I've achieved my target of having 10bn isk by the end of the year (I still need to repay various investors 4.6bn in December). Growth this week was about 5.2%. A few things slowed growth this week. Notably my RL time continues to be more in demand (it seems that I'm expected to work for my degree). Also, my most profitable character filled this limit of orders and so I have surplus stock not included in the 14.74bn. Remedial measures I have taken include lowering the price of some sell orders to try to increase velocity of my stock and removing some less profitable buy orders. Profits appear, however, to have leveled off at ~130m/day for the past few days. Which is fine by me. I've also talked to VV and it seems an end-of bond audit is possible, but some data is unavailable from the first week or two. I've asked for it to be kept simple as I have my own book-keeping and any end of bond audit would thus be mainly for the benefit (or, more accurately, interest) of investors. But, despite having less time to spend on EVE, I'm happy with the growth and look forwards to getting my profits blown up in PvP at Christmas.
Vaerah Vahrokha Minmatar Dark-Rising IT Alliance	Posted - 2009.10.31 11:43:00 - [45] I am going to produce an assets and performance report, as per Andron's request.

Vaerah Vahrokha Minmatar Dark-Rising IT Alliance	Posted - 2009.11.01 01:48:00 - [46] Performance report This is Vaerah Vahroka's analysis as of 2009-10-31 23:30 EvE Time. Tools used jEveAssets EMMA EvE Asset Manager EvE Income Analyzer EvETrader Eve Wallet Aware Forewords Due to the trading volume and the API limits, the Auditor could not cover the whole investment duration. Though the found data are interesting and show a trend. NAV This is the situation before the bond launch NAV: 18.5B Wallet: 2.27B Investment: 200M Assets: 15.7B (inclusive of 4.6B in items tied into sell orders) Escrow: 338M Andron received 2B and handed 2.09B to the Collateral Holder. Hence the NAV at day 1 of the bond was: 18.41B As of today: NAV: 21.268B Wallet: 4.61B Investment: 200M Assets: 15.65B (inclusive of 5.334B in items tied into sell orders) Escrow: 808M Considering the collateral the NAV would be: 23.358. Subtracting the bonds value plus 15% of non compounding interest as if the maturity was today, the NAV would be worth 21.058B. This means - as of today - a positive net growth of 2.558B since bond launch. Of course the bond has yet to mature, so the growth estimate is by sensible defect. As per Investee request, the Auditor prepared two sets of performance indicators: one with full information for his private perusal, one with public information to make public. N.B. the data are cut before a certain day, due to the API limit on the days and number of transactions kept.

Andron Blaxcor	Posted - 2009.11.06 19:03:00 - [47] Fourth week trading report. This week the total worth of the trading venture increased from 14.74bn to 15.76bn, an increase of 6.9%. This is higher than some previous weeks mainly because I've had more time to play. This has resulted in a faster gain of items to sell for a profit. This has also caused the amount of sell orders to increase dramatically. One character currently has all 269 orders being employed and is holding a sizable surplus of stock (I estimate ~200m) not included in the above valuation. I will be away from EVE this weekend and hope that this will allow some of the sell orders to clear ready for use shifting surplus next week. As such the estimated 1bn growth above is probably a slight underestimate. I'm pleased with the results as the halfway point of the bond approaches.
Andron Blaxcor	Posted - 2009.11.13 21:05:00 - [48] Fifth week trading report. This week the total worth of the venture increased from 15.76bn to 16.52bn, an increase of 4.8%. This week I had little time to play and so profit is not as high as it could have been. This did, however, allow some of the surplus from other weeks to be sold off, increasing liquidity. I intend to follow roughly the same pattern this coming week, as surplus still remains, but hope to be a little more active to maintain profits.
Barbicane TGUN Industries	Posted - 2009.11.13 21:38:00 - [49] Keep up the good work! I enjoy reading your progress reports although I don't post much, and I'm pretty sure the same goes for the other investors.
Andron Blaxcor	Posted - 2009.11.20 02:06:00 - [50] Originally by: Barbicane Keep up the good work! I enjoy reading your progress reports although I don't post much, and I'm pretty sure the same goes for the other investors. Thanks for the support, I'm glad these posts provide some interest. Sixth week trading report. This report is a touch early due to RL reasons. Between 13 Nov and 19 Nov total trading value increased from 16.52bn to 17.01bn. This is a little smaller than other weeks, partially because it covers only a six day period. Other reasons include that I haven't had much time to trade due to RL reasons and I have begun my exit strategy. In about two weeks I return from uni and I will have time to play properly once more. I would like to have two of my characters free in order to do more interesting stuff than checking orders, so it's important that I sell of most of their stock. I also need to free up capital in order to pay back investors. In the coming week I'll phase out some of their buy orders, before stopping all buy orders the following week. However, there has been a notable drop in competition in some markets and some weird market manipulation that have combined to open up large profit margins. So I have set up buy orders to take advantage of these. Because of the large margins these are not very competitive and I don't expect them to fill quickly. This is, however, perfect for my exit strategy. Instead of acquiring lots of items at a small profit margin I'll be acquiring a few at a large profit margin. This should allow me to keep earning whilst reducing my stockpiles. As it stands, my stockpile has actually increased on last week's, so I need to spend some time reducing the prices of my sell orders so they're competitive. As some of the stockpiles of individual items are quite large I need to be careful not to inadvertently crash a market where I have a stockpile. I estimate that, if done carefully, I should make at least 5% on each item even after reducing my sell price. The coming fortnight will be challenging, but will also be very profitable and require less order tending.
Oltham	Posted - 2009.11.20 11:42:00 - [51] Hi Andron another good report thanks for the update. Again i have been reading your weekly reports but had not responded. Hope your exit strategy works out well for you. Oltham.
Andron Blaxcor	Posted - 2009.11.28 01:51:00 - [52] Seventh week trading report. From 19 November to 27 November (an eight day week this time) the total trading value increased from 17.01bn to 18.35bn, an increase of 7.8%. This relatively large profit has come despite the fact I have only logged in twice this week due to real life work pressures. The rise has come from the week being eight days rather than seven (last week's report was a day early). In addition the pyerite spike this week helped profits. Finally, the lack of logging in allowed several sell orders to clear, allowing stockpiled goods to be added to the market and an increased rate. The exit strategy is going well, today was the last day on which I will place new buy orders on the characters I will be moving. I will let current buy orders be filled and tend sell orders for the rest of the week. I will have no problem having the liquidity to pay back investors on the 9th December. There will be no report next week as it would come only a few days before the end of the bond. The end of the bond will be accompanied by my appraisal of profits. I will also contact VV to see whether his hiatus means he will not want to perform a final performance audit.
Andron Blaxcor	Posted - 2009.11.29 01:33:00 - [53] Originally by: Andron Blaxcor From 19 November to 27 November (an eight day week this time) the total trading value increased from 17.01bn to 18.35bn, an increase of 7.8%. I made a mistake with my accounting and double counted some money, this should read: From 19 November to 27 November (an eight day week this time) the total trading value increased from 17.01bn to 18.14bn, an increase of 6.6% Oops. Must learn to use excel.
Andron Blaxcor	Posted - 2009.12.09 13:19:00 - [54] Closing report. The bond has now run its course and all payments have been made to investors. The initial amount plus 15% has been repaid. The final value of traded assets is slightly unsure because I have been buying assets for use in my next set of projects. I estimate the final worth was around 19bn, an increase from 11.33bn at the start of trading. This is 67% profit in two months, more than enough to cover the interest paid. I would like to thank investors for the opportunity to make this isk. VV, could you please return the collateral at your earliest convenience please? Also, if you have the relevant information from the API key and are willing to, could you please produce a short statement confirming my statements of profits are approximately accurate and as a result of trading (assuming, of course, the evidence confirms this!). If you're still taking your hiatus, I perfectly understand. I will also state here that I have repaid the 2bn loan from flakeys, along with 15% interest. Thank you all for your support. Andron
SetrakDark Caldari DarkCorp Technology and Finance	Posted - 2009.12.09 13:30:00 - [55] Good example of how a 1st timer can go about getting a sizable trade bond. Well done.

Barbicane TGUN Industries	Posted - 2009.12.09 20:04:00 - [58] Confirming I received a 230M return from my 200M investment.
Tekota legion industries ltd Veni Vidi Vici	Posted - 2009.12.10 04:57:00 - [59] Confirming received principal plus expected interest. Second the comments that this has been an extremely communicative offering with the operator and the auditor providing very useful (read "reassuring") communication.
Timothy Heigel	Posted - 2009.12.10 05:15:00 - [60] very nice job, ill be sure to keep an eye out for your next run of this. id be very much interested in investing at least 100m.
