Welcome Investor! This is the Warlight Stock Exchange (WSE), where you can buy stock in ladder players, and get returns on them when their rating grows. Let's Give an Example Portfolio:

The Example Hedge Fund

5 Shares of Player X - $5,000
2 Shares of Player Y - $2,000

Total Transfer Fees $700
Liquid Assests $42,300
Investment Portfolio $7,000
Total Value $49,300


Your hedge fund or whatever you want to call it will start out with 50,000 dollars, in which you can invest, the price is player rating per share.

Definition of a Player

A player, in this case, is any ladder team. RT Ladder Benjamin and 1v1 Ladder Benjamin are different "people", and you can invest in both of them.

Rules

- Each share you buy or sell will be sold at a transaction fee of $10. If you buy 5 shares and sell 3, that costs $80.
- Dividends are calculated differently for each ladder, and are calculated each third day:

     1v1/RT Ladder - 5*(16-Rank)*Shares
     2v2 Ladder - 10*(11-Rank)*Shares
     3v3 Ladder - 15*(6-Rank)* Shares


- You cannot invest in any CLOT players, or any Seasonal ladder players. This rule may change if I can get confirmation that knyte's CLOT rating is not buggy.
- If your player drops out of the ladder, and becomes unRANKed, the stock value is 0, regardless of rating. These stocks can be renewed to full value of the player rejoins the ladder.
- Each Hedge Fund Starts out with $50,000.

Happy Investing!

Questing about rules, let's say you invest money into a person who then drops out of the ladder. Since that person is now unranked, do you lose all the money invested? Let's say yes, which should make it fun to invest in the RT ladder players. :D

How is the 'cost' of a share in a person calculated?


@Platinum,

The value of the stock will rise or lower depending on that player's rating in the ladder. So, let's say you think a player is undervalued in the ladder, if you invest in them and their rating skyrockets, you'll get a fair amount of $$$$.

Alright. I'll enter the market.



I'm investing in five shares of AWESOMEGUY Realtime ladder, for a total of $8940.

I'll also invest in five shares of Legacy Realtime ladder, for a total of $8775.

I'll also buy 10 shares of Nogals RT ladder, for a total of $10740.




I'll be mailing the respective corporations I've invested in.

This leaves me with $21,545 left to spend as I see fit--let me know if you believe you are a viable candidate for investment.

Next rule; let's not edit posts that buy/sell shares. That way, it is easier to keep track of it correctly.

it you want this to work somewhat properly, do not allow investment in seasonal ladder. Rating there goes up like crazy.

No seasonal ladder transactions, hmm? If Benjamin agrees, it becomes law.

This is a fascinating idea!

I agree as well that seasonal shouldn't count due to it's volatility.

I also think there needs to be some concept of "dividends". otherwise, there is no incentive to invest in the higher ranked players.

Ex -

1v1 ladder
(30-rank)* 10 $ per day. if rank < 30
0. if rank > 30

2v2 ladder
(15-rank)* 20 $ per day. if rank < 15
0. if rank > 15


I'm sure someone can come up with a better function than me.

I like this thought as well. If Benjamin approves, the dividends for top 30 of 1v1 ladder/top 15 of 2v2 ladder become law ;)

As founder of the WL Stock Market, he gets final say.

This is not a "Stock Market", it's gambling.

How is a stock market not gambling? And then, how does that not correlate to what we're doing here? Lol.

Not really. The only massive inflation occurs in the seasonal ladders; the other ladders have relatively stable ratings. It's actually fairly difficult to sustain a rise in your own rating, so any changes will be relatively small. Our stocks will inflate if people invest wisely -- if not, it will deflate.

Remember that a stock will never continue gaining indefinitely. You will eventually want to sell before a player drops out of the ladder, as your shares become $0 if that person is unranked.

Benjamin agrees to both of those, and sells his investments in #QB.

@MotD How about:

(30/(Players per Team)-Rank)*(10*players per team)

Thus, the top player of the 1v1/RT ladder would get $290 a day, top 2v2 ladder team would get $280 a day, top 3v3 ladder would get $270 a day.

Update: I sell all shares of Dead Piggy stock, and buy 3 shares of Arkanton 1v1 Ladder, and 1 share of MW + Yeon 2v2 Ladder.
