6.7b and 1.5b hardly unusual amount that ched said he looked into imo. They just got caught up in the middle of a big scandal which ched got no other way to reverse other than to deduct all gains from the players that happen did the buy/sell during the time frame investigated.

I think i saw in bug report thread Proxima got ched reverse back because ched said his amount does not fall into required investment level. Prob due to insignificant amout.

I think there's no doubt that there are some honest players caught up in this mess too.

I agree and that's exactly the point what's worrying me as you have to be very carefull in the future as a stocktrader because you can have profits deducted even when you're innocent. That somehow is hard to unite with my sense of justice.



That's not the point of this topic though. That's more for the other discussion topic about this subject as this one is for finding the 573b.

What I'd seriously like to know is ... why in hell is WSSB still rising after all this time? There have been millions and millions of shares on the market pretty much since the first people started selling around $200/share. How has he price not tanked? Supply has outpaced demand for months since then, and yet the arrow is still pointing upward. It seems the market has no actual bearing on this stock price.

What am I missing?

Every time that comes up in the forums, people say it's not the case. The text is just a role-play element. Notably TCHS doesn't spike during Torn-wide competitions or big wars when there are lots more people than normal in the Hospital.

The WSSB text says it relies on the number of people enrolled in Education, and if that counts every noob who signs up and joins a course, I think it'd still be about break-even with the number of people going inactive or finishing all their Edu.

Edit: sorry didn't mean to totally discount your suggestion, it's definitely possible and we don't know the actual mechanics. I believe people have done larger tests on other stocks in efforts to influence them and make money, all with no noticeable effect.

Duke supports this message. Whoever's in charge of this dump should swing by my office and we'll work somethin out about signin those debts over to me. Let's say 5% interest for them what are convicted of cheatin. Me and Penelope will make em pay up on time, don't yous worry about that.

I used to say that too. But actually Ched confirmed some time ago that the descriptions are real, the price is more likely to move in either direction depending on what happens in game. But obviously there are other parameters too, making it difficult to use it as a tool for predicting trends.
Otter [1821671]

Yup. i wish. TCHS should have shot way up during the damn elmination competition when we went from 50 pages of people in hospital to 500. Instead it actually dropped



total Random background shit.

Duke... you're never there when I need you.

You can't keep ignoring your baby child Hashid...he's 4 years old now and he's asking where 'Papa' is. We can't always rely on child support. Please, Duke....instead of getting drunk and beating people on the streets, come back home and be a real 'dad'.




_Cynic_ [206537]

So I now await the apology from certain individuals within FTW and SA who accused me of cheating with regards to WSSB, seeing clearly I was not one of those impacted.



But I doubt we will see that!
