I have invested in some stock blocks for the hotel coupons and the drug packs. I was getting drug packs and hotel coupons every 3-7 days and now i have gone 4 weeks and haven't had one any ideas why this might be ?

It's not totally random, most stock that gives an item as a consumable benefit gives more if the item is being consumed and less if it isn't so for big events like the dog tags comp you would be given more from TCHS and FHC because they are consumed more during those events and for LSC you would get more around the times the Lottery is higher when people are consuming Lottery Vouchers, or at least thats how it use to be anyway. If there is less consumable benefits given out it is (at least partially) because there is nothing going on that is causing them to be consumed and right now the only event is Mr & Ms Torn so no one is really consuming anything so the BB's aren't paying out or it would flood the market

it is actually totally random. Any description it gives on the stock and how it is affected is incorrect. This was changed long ago so market manipulation couldn't happen. So no matter what torn residents do the stocks are unaffected.

Payouts are 100% rng though.

It just averages out to say 1 fhc a week. But some weeks you get nothing while other days you get two.

Source: got over 1b in stocks.

You clearly have a faulty benefit block. I'll give you 750m for the FHG one and save you the trouble

Ahem, just to be clear I did also say "or at least thats how it use to be anyway.", that was kind of saying "I may be wrong but thats how it was a while back"

It's random. To answer you about why sometimes certain pay out items flood the market and sometimes the items are gone, it is like this. Be patience with me tho, my english is not that good.

Not everyone buys stock bb for passive income. I buy and sell tchs whenever it is good time to buy and sell. So are bunch of other people. So when the stock price is high, people will sell their stock bb. And since less ppl have the block at the mean time, the number of people who receive pay out also will drop, and will result the items get more rare and the price of the item will go high.

IE Drug Pack from sym. When sym price is very high, people will sell their stock bb to stock bot/system. And it means less people get drug pack as pay out. And then the price of drugpack will climb up. If you combine it with certain event, price of drug pack can reach up to 4.4 mill (currently at 4.1).

But when Sym BB is low, people will buy SYM shares as investment/flip. Bunch of ppl will even have their trustworthy friends to keep the blocks for them and share profit while waiting the sym share price is going up again. This will mean more people get pay out and then the drug packs start flooding the market and then price of drug pack will go down.

Ofc price of items is not just affected by stock bb price. But also the on going event.
