Why don't you allow people who are new to the eif to buy one share at time instead of forcing them to buy 5 just to start out with? If this is really suppossed to reflect real life stocks, why make people pay 5 if they only want one - this crazy rule is bad because it also makes those with the stock now have 500% more trouble selling since they'll have 5 shares for each of the 1 share they used to have..... In the beginning you had an offer to buy back shares + interest made. That seems to have changed since you bought the LAs and shops. I realize why that changed, since the TT value of a shop and LA is zero... but it makes this very great idea, which is the eif, in to a very, very, very unsafe thing to get in to since there's zero promise you'll ever get 100% of your original buy in value back... just the taxes and stuff paid back in dividends... in other words, you've made something that originally was a minumum of a 90 day deal in to a 10 year + deal since dividend payments are roughly 10% of what original buy in amount was! That's insane especially since some others are soon going to be having similar funds built in the near future, such as DWIF (developing worlds investment fund), and even the STTS (Smart Trade Terminal Service) which pays tt values to buy things and then later gives back 70% or so of the profits after a sale is made...
