Looks like my strategy is working.

I'm selling the things i produce in a farmer's market, and i price it 5 times the wholesale value, so that it doesn't sell too fast. Then i use most of my cash on increasing the size of my plantations, and researching everything i can in the agricultural R&D at Q5. I produce batches of 50k of everything i have researched to fill my store, and it's getting me several millions a day, i think.

Now i'm slowly expanding into processed foods, since it also sells at the farmer's market.

My company's networth is almost $9M right now, and spiking straight up.

Its sound like todays your last day with instant building :)  Enjoy it while it lasts.

How does owning multiple company works? Do they share the warehouse? Can you do internal transfers without hitting the market snipers?

Each company is an independent entity.  They have there own land, store sales, warehouses etc..
If I want to transport goods I have to put them up on the B2B market and buy if with my other company.  (I haven't been sniped so far, but I have accidently exported the goods instead a few times)

Is it not cheaper in the long run to run a 10m R&D and just... outsource research whenever the heck I feel like it?

Current research: Researching  Diamond of quality 53
Current outsource cost: $1,379,637,413.28
Time remaining: 04:52:53

Which one would you prefer, waiting 5 hours, or paying over 1 billion to outsource :P
This is with a 1500m2 Prospector btw, I do not skimp on research (as you can see from the world rankings)

It's interesting that you get an automatic loan if you have no cash at the end of the day but you have to pay your fixed costs. Even if you can't get a loan through the loan menu. Is there a limit to this? If not I'm going to end every day with 0 cash in my company. Sure, you have to pay 1% daily but I hope to make more money than that on a daily basis, more leverage=more win.

There is a limit but I think it is along the lines of 50%-100% of your companies networth

Before I get into what fame does, I will explain what influence does. 
After you reach level 5 and can no longer use instabuild for free you have to spend influence to instabuild or wait.  Each influence point is 5 minutes of build time, so 6 influence points builds an hours worth of buildings.  Each day you get influence base on your PERSONAL fame, each day your personal fame increases based on all your COMPANY fame.  If you have stock in a company, the fame is split and you get fame base on your percentage ownership.  So COMPANY FAME -> PERSONAL FAME -> INFLUENCE -> RAPID EXPANSION.

Now at the beginning you won't get much fame from quests, and the building expansion quests tend to be a bit... weak in reward.  But then other quests give a huge reward in fame. 

Example of a quest I just completed.
Objective: Research Minerals to improve its quality to 56 or above.
Reward:  $271,737.62  Fame: 250,656

Man, the quest rewards are crap.

They should at least recoup the cost for completing them.

One of the quest I have is to expand an R&D facility to 74 or over, but the reward is only 7.4k. It's just not worth it.

But you still get the benefit of having an R&D facility of 74m2, and you will keep on getting that quest, automatically completing it.  As you get bigger though the rewards get better, but for me quests is not about the money but the fame given.

I can put up some chemicals and such on the market if you need to and very reasonable prices, just write on the chat what you need :)
I just saw that quality 40 polyester you have there. It makes me feel rather small and insignificant in comparison.

I will be higher soon though, I have spent the last 3 weeks upgrading my r&d centers (value your instabuild, I miss it dearly)

This game needs a way to export data

Some data is exported already, but it is mostly world data and not company specific data.

The link for you :)

I do have a batch of 8,000,000 high quality coal being produced, but I set my price at $16.00 so you have plenty of room to undercut me.  I still sell it all at that price due to it being over Q50

How did this company get so much money and networth if it doesn't sell anything, according to the graph at the right?

Also, is exporting even the least bit feasible? Looking at prices, I doubt that.

And is the speed of selling at the stores simply inversely proportional to the price?

The person who started the company has another private company so I assumed he transferred

The dev keeps tracks of the logs and has a system in place that flags any suspicious activity.
The stock market? I don't know. The game does seem a bit exploitable.. what's stopping somebody from making multiple accounts and giving himself an unfair advantage, or siphoning cash from his friends who lost interest immediately?
cash into it before the new one initiated an IPO

To all those who have messed up there company, just so you know I did the same when I first started.  I invested everything I had into a market with no demand and in the end I 'started again' with a new account.  The developer is planning on adding a restart button as it has become a highly requested feature.

That's something that should probably be told to investors.

Thats another thing for the suggestion forums then :)

Quote from: Voxel_Squid on April 09, 2012, 08:42:27 pm
So is the stock market based entirely on IPO speculation? or is it actually possible to hold long-term portfolios as a source of income?

Certain companies (like Prophet Empire) pay out dividends and keep to it unless things turn out really bad.  There are a few out there, but then there are also many companies out there for the quick cash.
