It is strange for anyone who makes 120-150 B ISK a month come here and ask for 30 B ISK. You claim you gave all your ISK away, which again is unusual. Most people I know keep a bit of ISK in case they want to come back.
I think you too will find it strange.
One would suggest you check into the background of the person asking for the Bond before spouting off.
BTW RAW :) Shame on you for not emailing me. Back on the 5th I'd have happily jumped in on this bond.
PS:
Quote:Kinda ironic that you wont let Block audit you after all the hassle you gave him. He asks the same of you and you refuse.
I found that line hilarious.... especially since RAW specifically told him he was welcome to pay for a 3rd party audit if he wanted one.
Sorry for the late reply.... I don't visit the forums as much as I used to.

Hey Taram! Good to see you!
I did think about mailing you but I worried it would be an imposition since you had been steering clear of the forums these past many months. I felt like I was coercing you a bit last time I mentioned it but since I seem to have read that wrong I'll guarantee you a spot on the next one It will be great to have my very first investor back!

First batch of interest has been paid out.
Profit this month was c. 12bil from two short bursts of trading. From this I plexed my three accounts for 2 months (3.6bil) made some donations to PLEX for Good (3.6bil), paid the bond interest (1.75bil), put a little bit into a fund for a long term project with a friend (2bil) and have a little sitting in my wallet (c. 1bil). There have also been some ship losses and other minor bits and pieces but these were covered by some FW mission running.
All in all, the approach to the markets I'm following is doing exactly what I want it to do - covering my costs and giving me a little pocket money for not much effort! There are two types of EVE player:

Due to a surprising spike in my buy orders just before I was planning to hit the sack I'm tapping VV for a 10bil overnight loan. This takes me 5bil over what I said I would raise in this thread. I hope my current investors don't mind. It is very temporary (24 hours tops) and I promise not to do it again. I just couldn't bear the idea of a) not updating before bed, and b) having a load of orders die because there is not enough in escrow. There are two types of EVE player:

No worries mate , i think most of us don't quite follow
I think he is asking how he can be sure if he invests in you that you give him his isk back.Hence why he asks about your number of likes wich he prob thinks means a person is tHrustworthy.
But then the plex thingy ... i dunno .

Hi Joan!
Thanks for your interest. I'm currently in the process of deciding what to do when this bond finishes. Since the current arrangement is working out very well for me I will certainly be looking to carry on with something similar. I'm afraid I cannot accept reservations at this point but I'll let you know what's going on in advance of posting the next bond. There are two types of EVE player:

I have a new project that will take as much capital as I can scrape together. If someone else wants to take my spot (5b) in this bond on January 5, I will gladly step aside. Otherwise I can wait until the 19th.

Well, I could always use an extra 5bil for the two weeks, so feel free to send it over if you like. It would make the total interest for the two weeks a nice round billion
@Blueprint Seller - Received. Thank you!

All isk plus interest has been returned.
This has been an interesting period of trading, to say the least. I started on Saturday afternoon last week and more or less finished last night, so the period of activity was about 8.5 days. I still have a bunch of stuff slowly selling itself off, which will probably take a few days, but I won't be doing much active updating now.
The total profit for this period, once the remaining goods are sold, will be c. 28.15 billion.
I'm fairly happy with the end result but there have been some ups and downs, including a few very difficult days.
Saturday to Tuesday were very frustrating. When I had been casually pulsing the trade plan for three to four days every two weeks I was pleased with the results as I was hitting a billion or more a day for under two hours keyboard time. Given the results Rykker had previously achieved with the plan I was expecting to be able to hit something like 4bil a day now that I had the time to grind for a bit. However, after my first session of something like 10 hours I had only cleared around 2.3bil, so I wasn't very happy. The grind had been very hard but my isk per hour had dropped from 700mil plus right down to just over 200mil. I decided that I must be doing something wrong, so I tried a few innovations, such as focussing on the most profitable part of the basket, spending most of my time on 20 or so items and much less on the rest. Still no improvement, in fact things got a bit worse, and I was starting to feel burnt out after only two days.
I spent a lot of time trying to work out where I was going wrong. Up to this point I wasn't doing much in the way of controlling the markets, just going with the flow, so I decided that the missing link must be more active market manipulation. Well, that didn't work either and between my attempts at that route, for which funds were a bit too slim anyhow, and my focus on a small part of the basket, I was starting to get overloaded with stock of a few item types leaving me without the funds to trade properly in other areas.
Despondent, I decided to give myself a break and play Crusader Kings 2 to wind down for a bit. I was at the stage where I just couldn't face any more market updates and when I logged back in the next day I decided to just carry on a little light trade and turn to some industry instead. At least that was something I understood, while the trading was really getting the better of me. So day four was spent doing some quick market research for an indy project based on some stuff I had done in the past and just a little trading. I reckoned I could add a bil or two a day with the industrial stuff and maybe, if I could face more active trading again, push my daily total over 4bil that way.
Industrial goods started pouring forth on day five, with the healthy margins putting a smile back on my face. I kept up the light trading but decided to double my industrial output for day six (Thursday/Friday). That again looked good, so I doubled again for the weekend and when it looked like the whole weekend's worth would be finished by the end of Saturday, I put another batch in (half the size of the one I had thought would take me all the way through).
I was feeling much better by this point and my NAV calcs were telling me I would move over the 20bil profit line by the end of the weekend, so with a spring in my step I decided to have one last bash at trading (Sunday being the last day I had allocated to myself for grinding), This time I decided to avoid all my little innovations and stick rigorously to the plan Rykker had sketched. I really hammered the markets for an hour in the early afternoon, trying to make as many trades as possible. Checking my progress I found I was 600mil up! Going back for another session I got the same result.
A red mist descended as I realised the mistakes I had been making. It all came to me in a flash that the problem was not the goods I was trading (as I had rather ungraciously suggested to Rykker at my lowest point) but the general approach I was taking. Carefully considered approaches went out of the window, the classical music in the background was turned to hard rock, and caution was thrown to the wind. I started rampaging across the market segments like a barbarian horde, slashing and stabbing updates into the keyboard whilst grinning like a loon at the imagined dismay of my competitors. It may have been my imagination but it seemed as if things went a bit quiet in my markets as other people stopped trading, presumably waiting for things to ease up a bit. With the blood-lust running through my veins, I kept at it, watching the profits add up hour after hour. I had never really understood before the slight savagery that came over Rykker when he talked about the markets, assuming it was just a jokey way of presenting things. Now I got it. This was real market PvP, with each order filled a kill and each kill a loss for someone else. I got called away a few times and each time wondered if I would be able to get back into the same flow but there wasn't a problem. When midnight came and I did my final profit check, trading profits for the day were at just over 4.7 billion, not counting the further 2bil or so of industrial profits that day. I had carried out half a trillion isk of transactions, flipping 250 billion isk of goods.
Anyone who has spoken to me in the trade channels over the last week will have heard me whinging about how much I was hating trading and how I wanted a long break from it. That changed yesterday. Not only was it profitable but it also became, for the first time ever, fun! It will be another five or six weeks until I can do any more trading but I am positively salivating at the prospect.
Thanks to all the investors who have let me use their isk over the last ten weeks. I will have a new bond offering up some time in the second half of February and you guys will all have first refusal. There are two types of EVE player:
