there are too few benefit for small investor, majority players can invest around 20-50mill, but those benefit provided are not attractive enough..

and all education course are free from International School TC, is that including dual melee course??

yes - it includes dual melee course

So, what happens if you invest the exact amount necessary for the benefit, but because the stock goes down it no longer is the required amount? Does that still count?

does the market jump still every 15 minutes ? that could be huge loss for anyone.

It doesn't matter if your stock price falls. All that matters, is the price you bought the stock at in terms of getting your benefit, such as dividends. e.g. you bet 75 million in Torn City Clothing, but the shares fall leaving you with 74.5 million in the stocks, you will still recieve your dividends

And dividends is just a pay out of money ? so you will profit either way kind of thing pretty much ? for example if i place 75 million in torn city cloths and the shares fall leaving me with 70 million dollars is it most likely that i will make a profit still over 75 million dollars ?

Tiemen it counts. Mitch the market still moves the same way.

does "random dividends" mean that you get a random amount of money??

TCB: We don't know yet sorry

I predict the upshoot of a few new oil refineries in about 60 days!

Also, if anyone has any idea on the following hypothetical questions, that would be great!

Suppose you invest over a billion in Torn City Investment Banking for the appropriate number of days to achieve the "Improved city bank interest rates by x." Is this a permanent increase or only for your next investment or a limited amount of time? What if you then upgrade your bank interest through merits? Does that overwrite the increase you earned by the stock market achievement? Finally, could you repeat the cycle again (reinvest over a billion in TCIB) to achieve yet another increase in banking interest?

I realize that nobody has yet experienced this yet, but I also know that some people out there actually know the answer since they were involved in devising these upgrades. Thanks for any help!!!

just wondering how long is the time period we have to wait for the benefits? Also if I invest 200mil in a company that that gives it's benefit at 50mil then will i get 4 times the amount of the benefit or does it not matter how much over u invest?

TCB: It doesn't matter how much you invest, you can only get one benefit in one company at a time.

@Borat
I think the increase in interest rates your talking about will take effect for any number of investments as long as you will not withdraw that 1 bil from TCIB.
The increase in interest is on top of any bank interest upgrades through merits (just like natural nerve bar increase adds to what you had before merits)

This is a message from TC Clothing hoping it helps clarify something!
I´ll post when i recieve the dividends!
:p

Dear The_New_Hope,

I am writing to you personally from Torn Clothing to thank you for your investment. It was brought to my attention that you invested an amount of money equal to or in excess of our threshold value that is $75,000,000. For such a large amount of money, you have been accepted as a premium shareholder.
We will be paying you dividends randomly (monthly on average). We cannot predict which date you will be paid on as it's going to depend on the financial position of the company at the time. It has been calculated so that you will receive, on average, $75,000,000 back over a 6 month period, should you keep your money invested with Torn Clothing.
I hope this is to your satisfaction,

Yours Sincerely,

Mrs. Stella Patrick

Thanks -AR-Digger, I see what happens now. You must keep the amount listed invested to maintain the benefit. The bank interest one really only makes sense if you have about $3.5 billion then, since you'd never make up the difference if you have $2.5 billion or less (thinking bank maximum).

Here is the grain company message, it took around 40 days!

Dear The_New_Hope,

My name is Harry Francis Abbott, I am writing to you personally as the director of Grain, the umbrella company for The Torn City Farmers Union to thank you for your recent investment on the 19th of September.
To thank you for your generosity I would like to offer you shareholders dividends. These shall be calculated on a monthly basis, and whenever the company is doing well you shall be paid an amount of money. It shall be calculated, so should you keep your money invested within Grain, so that you will make, on average, around $100,000,000 every 6 months.
I hope that this is satisfactory, and I would like to thank you again for your kind generosity.

Yours sincerely,

Harry Francis Abbott

Hope it helps you.I have another 2b investment in TCSB and i´m expecting it tobe the longest to reply. But the investments pay around 50% for every 3 months so lower than bank!

I hope it can help you make a choice

I got the Lucky Shot Casino mail after about 28 days invested.

Just got the Torn City Health Service mail after about 32 days.

This message i received today so it came around about 50 days latter! Hope it helps!
As I can see all the investments in pay outs mean a 100% return in 6 months!

Dear The_New_Hope,

Following your recent investment on the 19th of September, I would like to thank you for your cash injection into the Torn City & Shanghi Banking Corporation.
I will be using your investment wisely and will release reports for all our share holders in the near future. To thank you for your investment and keeping your money invested within the Torn City & Shanghi Banking Corporation I shall be paying our premium shareholders dividends, the amount will depend on how well the business is doing at any current point in time.
The dividends however, have been worked out with you in mind so that you recieve $2,000,000,000 roughly every 6 months on average.
I cannot predict when the dividends will be paid into your account as the amount is calculated daily, again I'd like to thank you for choosing Torn City and Shanghi Banking Corporation as a place to invest your money.

Yours Sincerely,

Mr. Gareth Davies

Dear MrE,

We know that going to University is, in later life going to be viewed retrospectively as the best period of your life. Since you've invested such a large amount of money, which happened to be over or equal to our threshold value of $30,000,000, you are now one of our premium shareholders.
To thank you, we will try to make any further learning you wish to receive, easier. Although we will still charge you for the education you receive, we will make sure that it is as un-strenuous as possible, as we know you're going to need all your energy for the nightlife!
