John Johnny Mandrake has discovered a new item (McDonald's Dollar Menu Cupon (L)) with a value of 5 ped!
This whole IPO thing can't be good for us. I'm a huge
when it comes to stocks, but here's what I see:
As shown by the banks, the sale of stocks won't increase loot. Sure, they made money from the sale of banks, but not much of it went to the hunters, miners, and crafters, (aka. regular Joes) but instead to the company itself. In fact, they may have gotten a little greedy and started declining our loot some too, since hundreds of thousands of dollars (or millions? I really wasn't paying much attention to the whole deal) weren't enough. The same thing will, in all likeleyhood, happen with stocks. And like with banks, will they take a portion of their profits to pay stockholders? Why would they do that, when they can screw us and our wallets for so much money. And since most of the stockholders will be players, a little bit the money taken from them will be circulated BACK, but most of it would go to
MA. The shareholders will be mad because they're not making money off their deposits, but that will be offset by their being happy from their shares making them a tad of that back. So really, players are happy to lose, as long as they gain a little!
I could be wrong about all of this, but it's what I predict!
