I doubt that Will.  Not many people have over 5 million IC's.

Keep in mind that in the RL market, those who have a lot of money are usually offered first choice at purchasing stocks or to invest in certain opportunities.  I mearly extended that offer to the HC command staff.

Also, by being in beta, that didn't entitle those that were offered that opportunity super cheap stocks.  They were a bit lower than they are now, but they purchased them using the same scripting rules that are running today. 

If fact, before solidifying the rules and extending the 'beta' to the division HC members, I ended up having to rebate money to the HC members since it was charging them too much.  I doubt any of you would have wanted to go through that, and there was no way I would have done that if there were more than just a few members since I had to do it manually.

With that said, just be aware that there are reasons I only opened it up to just a few members at a time.  I only opened it up to the public when I was sure that the scripting was sound and working properly.

Yeah, willt. I don't know how you'd expect everyone to have that kind of money... have you looked at the average salary yet?

"Well ask anybody, I'm a pretty good guy,
And the 'looks-decent' wagon didn't pass me by.
There ain't nothing in my past that I'm tryin' hard to hide.
And I don't understand why I gotta wonder why:
What's a guy gotta do to get a girl in this town?"

Dk, i've looked at the salaries when i joined, so i know that the HC members get quiet s paycheck. and i think Tal either had or gets 132k each month.

You dont need a bigger paycheck, but you do want and hope to get a bigger paycheck. the thing is, who doesn't? I bet even Kad, Tal, Fury, and Japheth all want higher paychecks. But this is not the way things work. We get promoted as we become more and more into the VE, with more activites, and such. that is how we get higher paychecks. and if you want more money, you should try to catch every chance that comes across your way.

I think this is the thrid or forth time that i've said such things about money to non-recruits, since i joined.

The Imperial Stock Exchange is the grand total of the five stocks within it: DJBND, VEBOND, ICS, NAVALB, and STORMB. It reflects how all of those bonds are doing as a whole.

Basically, like how the NYSE includes all of the stocks in the American stock market.

After years of being privately traded, the Imperial Center Store has decided to go
public.  The decision to make the stock publicly traded was as a result of many
investor meetings that lasted many hours.

The investors decided to make a 1:2 stock split just before announcing the stock is
to be publicly traded.  This decision will allow more shares to be available at a
cheaper price for the public. 

The Imperial Center has also decided to slowly make shares available to the public
by releasing them in small chunks as the demand for the stock increases.  This will
help ease the transition from being a privately traded company to a publicly traded
one.

You can purchase the ICS shares from your local Imperitrade Financial Corporation.
