The significant increase in value of cyber security was predicted. I suspect speculators will now take profit, sell 2000 shares of cyber security - that represents 36,000 dollars. I would think that 31,000 will be re-invested in cybernetic Technologies, driving their market share up to about 22%. That would translate into a increase in the stock's value from 22 to 25 dollars i.e. $3/share ( ~ 6000 profit ). Of course, it will be easy to see which is in fact the new target and to plunk accordingly.
You can probably see the obvious sequellae. Speculators will make a ton of easy money, for so long as the market rules remain the same. They will remove profits from the pool of money under management and that pot will move inexorably toward 0. Soon, someone is going to have to pony up to cover the shortfall. The question for the DOI is: are you ready to do that? Still, this market may be quite successful at increasing activity, and making some players wealthier.
Really intriguing. Good luck with it.
The intention is exactly to make people money while having fun 🙂 so yes, we are more than prepared. Very good analysis, I'm thoroughly impressed.
I ordered some more stocks and they haven't been logged yet. What happened?
We want to be secure when it comes to buying stocks, so I have to personally check that you sent the right amount. Therefore, there's some delay as I have to be online. I have a couple solutions for this that are in the works, so just wait a little bit 🙂
Voted. Sounds like a great program. 🙂
New target appears to be Noob; on trajectory to generate ~15,000 of "profit" for speculators. Great for speculators. Not so much if you are backstopping the program.
notice that investor #1 is trying to balance the Noob speculation.
Make money, just not too much!
honesty is difficult to maintain. Today's valuations will be the lynchpin.
The point is to make people money, so it's great for us too 🙂
