The Weekly Blog$hares Analysis – Week 1

Hey everybody, today I decided to do something weekly for my blog – an analysis of my Blog$hares account, with some of the most detailed analysis I can come up with.

Before I can jump in to the fine grains of my portfolio, I need to give the basic details of my capital.

This is how it breaks down in to percentages:

 

Cash Balance	3.075% of TNW
Ideas Value	1.096% of TNW
Corp Investments	95.827% of TNW
Shares Portfolio	0.0000000394% of TNW
Market Orders	0% of TNW

From this table, we can determine that too much money is in a Corporation. However, Corporations give interest on investments. Currently, daily, I make 0.5% on my investment daily. This works out at B$9,131,951,204.41 – enough to support some idea buying, but budgeting is somewhat necessary.

Despite this amount of interest being high for my standards, I decide to compound the interest, so I can make many more millions extra every day. The extra money would allow me to invest more in shares, which can actually vary every couple of minutes by billions.

For a portfolio to fluctuate this fast, there has to be some way of manipulating the market in a legal way, and this all comes down to ideas. 10,000 ideas = one artefact, which can be used to take over, crash or hype a blog or industry, and gain ideas in it’s own industry. This is all good for profit making, but it requires huge amounts of strategy.

So far, just by playing safe and holding 95% of my TNW in a corporation I have gone up 20+ composite ranking places, despite losing B$30bn+ from trying to take over some of the most expensive blogs in the game.

One of the many trends is that when you start out, you can’t make a lot of money, unless you get given some chips, which are worth more than a half billion a chip. Once you make more and more money, the growth rate is exponential. The more you spend, the more you make.

To summarise, I need to grow my shares portfolio and hold something solid, and invest more in to ideas. Corporations are too heavily loaded, so a few billions need to be taken out of them.

This concludes the first week’s analysis. See you next week.

Blog$hares... and why I love it

I don't know about you people out there, but I get a thrill out of playing games and having constant battles. It keeps me focused and awake for most of the day, and it helps the development of my decision-making skills.

Blog$hares is no different.

You fight over millions of blogs, which can accumulate to MILLIONS OF DOLLARS a share. And there's 5,000 shares per blog, unless the claimant of the blog adds or subtracts shares from the equation.
Money is, of course, limited. So making intelligent financial choices is the way to gain billions upon trillions of dollars.

I currently have $1.828trn invested in a corporation which pays out at 0.5% interest daily, compounded. So every day, I'm making a couple hundred million dollars more, of which the gains start to become exponential. I may have played for 4 years or more, but the only reason I am in the trillions and some of them are in the quadrillions is because I haven't played Ideas for SO LONG. Ideas are the real way to make money, and the ideas affect the stocks in such a way that ideas are the printer and shares are the paper, if you get the idea of that analogy.

Every 10,000 ideas in an industry can be used to build an artefact, a kind of very important part of the industry's back story, or something related heavily to it. These artefacts are mainly used to manipulate stocks or a whole industry's shares prices. Other times, they are used to raid ideas from an industry for profit.

Anyways, let's step back for a second, and look at the game's customer support. Being run by only a handful of people Blog$hares is small in comparison to some of it's rivals, and the community isn't exactly what you'd call broad. However, I had a problem only 60 minutes ago and the problem was fixed in EIGHT MINUTES.

And that was just another member of the community, who had paid to play, pressing a single button. The fact that people spend time on the forums, look around, and help people all the time, makes a tight-knit community  even better, and that's what makes the game better.

I highly recommend Blog$hares to anyone bored, or looking for a challenge.
