Liquid Assests will be rest at 3:00PM (When the real stock Market Closes) Eastern U.S Time - Currently 9:43M at this time.

So for you Kasps, it will reset at 3:00PM, and for Masterpierround at 2:00PM

I'm on EST... SO 3:00 PM for me. Also you know that NYSE isn't the only stock exchange, right?

Good plan.

Yes I do know that. I lower transaction fee's fivefold, putting MasterPierround's Hedge Fund total value to 49,800.

Transaction fees at $10 now? If you could put a mention of that in the first comment on this thread, that'll be great for newcomers

the only way this game works is if we get the stat clan and knyte to keep track...otherwise this thread is pointless. We need rules...otherwise its just anarchic.

It has rules...

1 share of any ladder team/player's stock = $(rating)

for each stock purchased or sold you must pay $10

no buying seasonal ladder.

Dividends are paid as static money to stock owners every day at 3:00 PM EST.

are paid as liquid assets

Not true actually, they are paid as static money.

I'm assuming that's just added to "total value" instead of liquid assets?

I had thought at the time, that "liquid assets" was just money that was not locked down in any investment? By that logic, dividends would go to liquid assets?

Liquid assets are called this because they can be converted quickly into something else.

I thought that liquid means free-form or whatever, and is therefore moving, which is what a stock is.

Edit: looked it up, stocks are liquid assets, assuming no transaction fees. So lets call money invested in stocks Investment Portfolio, and non-invested money static money.

10 shares of Grazer81 for 11380
1 share of professor dead piggy for 2120
5 shares of Jammyb'stard 7450

Transaction fees of 160

Liquid assets 23560

...did I do that right?

Ah. Fair enough. :)

The easier the asset can be converted into cash, the more liquid it is. Ben, you are right, stocks can easily sold when compared to other places to put money, and therefore are fairly liquid. Straight up cash is the most liquid.

A good rating jump over a year would be 50%. If a player held #1 for a full year, to earn the same amount of money you'd need about $3 a day in dividends, per share, or about $90 a month.

Therefore, I propose a monthly 1v1 dividend of:
$3 * (31-rank) * number of shares
(nothing if ranked below 30)

For 2v2, it would be (per month):
$6 * (16-rank) * number of shares
(nothing if ranked below 15)

For 3v3:
$9 * (11-rank) * number of shares
(nothing if ranked below 10)

I did them monthly because it'll be a lot less hassle than checking them daily.

@Hanky Correct, but add total value(49840)
@Jz much better, but maybe a good compromise is weekly, because monthly is too little. Say the same formula, but updated weekly.

The problem is that the rankings on the ladders never stay the same for a whole month, unless you're someone crazy holding on to the #1 spot for as long as possible. Dividends have to be daily to be completely accurate.

$10* (30-ladder rank) etc does seem a bit high though. Maybe a smaller daily dividend would make more sense?

Here are the comparable weekly numbers:

A weekly 1v1 dividend of:
$0.75 * (31-rank) * number of shares
(nothing if ranked below 30)

For 2v2, it would be (per week):
$1.50 * (16-rank) * number of shares
(nothing if ranked below 15)

For 3v3:
$2.25 * (11-rank) * number of shares
(nothing if ranked below 10)

You lose some of the accuracy, but I'm all for laziness :)

How about:

5*(16-rank)*shares - 1v1
10*(11-rank)*shares - 2v2
15*(6-rank)*shares - 3v3

Compromise proposed by president of the stock market. Dividends are calculated once every 3 days.
