FL, thanks again for all the steady weekly details regarding the operation.
Just two question regarding a trend that I can see in your numbers.....
Your STOCK in minerals has been controlled and steady, however, the STOCK in T2/Named/Ships has been growing and growing. (Started at 7B and is now at 22B!!!)
1)Please correct me if I am wrong, but are those assets, assets that are left over that have not been sold yet?
If this is the case, then the number represents potential sales that are not going to market which translates to profits that are not being realized.
2)The seemingly sudden arrival of a 22 Billion receivable represents what?
Cheers,

It appears your investors are happy with what they have seen so far anyways, so these arguments are simply academic of course.
You are showing growth in profit week over week.
This tells us you are moving product through your markets.
You are showing varying levels of minerals left over week over week.
This tells us you are controlling your material costs.
You are showing an increase in STOCK left week over week.
This tells us that at the end of a build/buy/deliver/sale cycle, you are not selling as much as you are building/buying.
I hope this makes my point a bit more clearer.
According to your reasoning, it is better to not run out of stock. I agree, however, can you realistically expect someone out of the blue to come up with an order requiring 20 Billion isk worth of goods AFTER you have allready built/bought/delivered/sold in your markets??
As I said above the argument is academic, but in the world I worked in, keeping that much extra inventory is inefficient. It says that you are building/buying/delivering ALOT more than you can actually sell.

Just as a final rebuttal to the arguement...
Here you are concluding that your buy/build, deliver and sell cycle has gone even better than anticipated (meaning sales were great) and you still have 22+ Billion in stock left over. And now you are concluding another cycle.
Q -So what happened to the 21+ Billion in stock you had left over at the end of the last report?
A -Nothing, all you did was add another 1+ Billion to it.
I still do not understand how you think this is ok, and even desirable, but like I said earlier, your investors dont really seem to care. So I guess I will have to agree to disagree with you and watch my deposit grow  .
Cheers,
