July 1631 - Day 66

Quick login, aaaand... the funds are UP! In the times of sluggish demand in many items, this is of course good news, as it allows placing more low bids!

A check of changelog reveals that a few suits were sold, with the most expensive one being a WOS-C1 (orange). It was probably bought before the revaluation, so did not yield a real profit but the price was reasonable nevertheless: 5.39 mil. The tailors that produce this type (TAI-6) cost 1.5 mil salary, and the yield is every two years, so the tailor business still looks like a viable choice. Martti's tailors are still very far from TAI-6, though.. (highest is TAI-2).

The NPC situation was promised for analysis. Some NPC have special meaning (such as army) and Martti has no interest in them since he is not playing those subgames. Others have a fixed payout, but its value may vary (such as tailors). Both IC and SCI midprices have fallen and are still not settled, so buying NPC that produce them, might end up being good or bad foresight. Having low bids just in case someone dumps them, lowers the risk, but it is also true that in certain market conditions, certain NPC just don't catch a bid and need to be fired instead to cut the losses.

Out of many analysed, Martti finds COOK-1 to be reasonable value even at ask (1.5 mil), because it has good promotion chances to COOK-2, which produces straight money. Three were hired and bid placed if anyone wants to part with (which is very unlikely as the "ancient" ones have long since promoted). COOK-2 also has a bid now.

S-B22B also requires analysis. Martti's back-of-the-envelope says that the corporation is able to quarry 50 million stone at an average 20 m profit (for 1,000 mil profit from operations). In addition, 1,000 mil is already realised from selling land, and 2,000 mil is possible. Divided by the sharecount (3,400), this gives the price of 1.18 mil per share, neatly between bid and ask (1.3/0.8). Seems that the others can count as well. - Oh sorry, it appears that Martti already held both the best bid and ask...

So yes, soem cooks were purchased, and the tailor bids updated. That is it for now, until Sir Crichton wants to go and slay the dragon again. Then the business concerns will need to be put aside!
