The Capitalist is launching a regular stock market report, offering you a quick glance at the investment scene. My pickings are to some extent arbitrary, however I tried to consider both total assets and the volume of shares traded.
The performance of the selected companies and captains of industry will be reviewed from a short to medium term investor's point of view. While holding to a considerable share (and voting powers) in a promising industry giant might yield great potential strategic advantage, these reports will focus on the weekly returns - the divident yield and changes in share prices.
And that is how the most important indicator is calculated here: the per cent of original investment gained in the hypothetical case of having bought it 7 days ago, and being sold now - at the daily average price of the relevant game days.
If you have any questions about how various data are calculated, or what certain indices are supposed to tell the investor, please feel free to ask them in the comment zone. Also please share your own tips, ideas, observations there. So, instead of explaining the how, let's jump right into it.
Disclaimer: prices and trends may change very quickly. Figures in this table might become obsolate in a matter of minutes by unpredictable events or investor moves. Always check everything twice before making your investment decisions. Today's SMA: current share price in Gold, Last Week SMA: share price 7 days ago, Rate of Change: gain/loss in value where 1 is share price 7 days ago, 7-days Payoff: profits on shares bought a week ago and sold today.
The Winners
This week's unquestionable winner is Tenkyu'sPSY Investment, with a remarkable +53.13% 7-days profit rate. The company has very strong fundamentals and offers a lucrative divident yield.
*** The Capitalist's tip: Although the management pointed at 11g as "recommended share price", I'd buy anything below 12-13g.
Nagy Magyar RT shareholders seeing their shares value having been increased by a hefty +19.8% in a week are surely happy now. With divident payment announced within a couple of days, things look bright for Nagy investors.
*** The Capitalist's tip: Hold. Adventure seeking short-term traders might as well buy some more.
Banana d.dhas produced a +16.33% return with the sale of a single share, and though divident had been been last paid three months ago, their portfolio is more than solid.
*** The Capitalist's tip: Keep an eye on Banana. Their shares are rather undervalued, should they decide to issue, it might be worth it to risk a little Gold.
Global Investment shares returned +17.25%, and while the divident yield is rather thin, there is much room for increase in prices. Note they have just passed an act about donating divident in the future , thus
*** The Capitalist's tip: Buy. A well-established, yet still promising firm.
GPW and Invest Group have both performed excellently with around +9.5% one-week payoffs. The former relies on its skyrocketing share price, the latter on the solid divident yield.Ten Percent shareholders have fared realtively easy this week, their shares have brought them a decent +5% profit, exclusively in dividents, as share price seems to be nailed to 10.01. AlfaTrade has performed very similarly, with a somewhat smaller divident yield though, but a decent 4.62% rise in share price. Together with the divident yield, that means a profit of +6.76%.
The Losers
The loser of the week (and probably the economic history of the game so far) is AMDG. As explained inthe last issue of The Capitalist , shares of the company have lost over 90% of their value in a matter of hours following the surprise retirement of renowned industry mogul jackist. However, Kolozs of Nagy Magyar RT quickly took charge, and the company seems to be back on track once again. Still, considering the last 7 days, AMDG investors have lost the most. With shares price down from 28.99 to 4.964, the week's loss is a horrible -81.58%.
*** The Capitalist's tip: Hold or buy. Kolozs turned around the tide, and the potential of this giant of all companies is vast. I bet 5-5.5 isn't even halfway up the Wall of Worry. Keep an eye on Kolozs' divident policy though. Shareholders accustomed to lucrative yields will get impatient quickly, is he not to provide at least something reasonable after jackist's extravagant payouts.
Jebheye Melli Stock Company has shown a considerable fall of -20.22%, however, according to the rather Google-Translate-like communication of its CEO, it is something a planned move. Couldn't really find out the logic behind it though.
*** The Capitalist's tip: Avoid. It might well be the business of the century, but let's wait until they'll have found an English speaking spokesperson.
International Investment Fundshares would pay off -22.9% less after a week, however, the new management is doing a good job, and prices had been pushed down by a single mysterious bottom feeder.
*** The Capitalist's tip: Buy, until premature eradicators run out of shares.
In E-Sim we have a huge, living world, which is a mirror copy of the Earth.
Well, maybe not completely mirrored, because the balance of power in this virtual world looks a bit
different than in real life. In E-Sim, USA does not have to be a world superpower, It can be
efficiently
managed as a much smaller country that has entrepreneurial citizens that support it's foundation.
Everything depends on the players themselves and how they decide to shape the political map of the
game.
Work for the good of your country and
see it rise to an empire.
Activities in this game are divided into several modules.
First is the economy as a citizen in a country of your choice you must work to earn money, which you
will get to spend for example, on food or purchase of weapons which are critical for your progress
as a fighter.
You will work in either private companies which are owned by players or government companies which
are owned by the state.
After progressing in the game you will finally get the opportunity to set up your
own business and hire other players. If it prospers, we can even change it into a joint-stock
company and enter the stock market and get even more money in this way.
In E-Sim, international wars are nothing out of the ordinary.
"E-Sim is one of the most unique browser games out there"
Become an influential politician.
The second module is a politics. Just like in real life politics
in E-Sim are an extremely powerful tool that can be used for your own purposes.
From time to time there are elections in the game in which you will not only vote, but also have the ability
to run for the head of the party you're in.
You can also apply for congress, where once elected you will be given the right to vote on laws
proposed by your fellow congress members or your president and propose laws yourself.
Voting on laws is important for your country as it can shape the lives of those around you.
You can also try to become the head of a given party, and even take part in presidential
elections and decide on the shape of the foreign policy of a given state
(for example, who to declare war on).
Career in politics is obviously not easy and in order to succeed in it, you have to have
a good plan and compete for the votes of voters.
You can go bankrupt or become a rich man while playing the stock market.
The international war.
The last and probably the most important module is military.
In E-Sim, countries are constantly fighting each other for control
over territories which in return grant them access to more valuable raw materials.
For this purpose, they form alliances, they fight international wars, but they also have
to deal with, for example, uprisings in conquered countries or civil wars, which may explode on
their territory.
You can also take part in these clashes, although you are also given the opportunity to lead a life
as a pacifist
who focuses on other activities in the game (for example, running a successful newspaper or selling
products).
At the auction you can sell or buy your dream inventory.
E-Sim is a unique browser game.
It's creators ensured realistic representation of the mechanisms present
in the real world and gave all power to the players who shape the image of the virtual Earth
according to their own.
So come and join them and help your country achieve its full potential.
Invest, produce and sell - be an entrepreneur in E-Sim.
