FP Stock Market

[Joshua Farrell]

Welcome to a new FP Exchange Concept! This concept, is what I am calling the "FP Stock Market", but based around the activity of forums.

You can find more information on how this works, instructions on how to purchase stocks, and how to submit your forum to be listed in the post directory below this one, labeled "Forum Stock Market Information". This post will contain the current live stock market costs, based on the forums that are participating in this.

Quick Explanations of Above
Forum: The Forum that you can buy stock in.
Forum URL: The url to the forum, if you want to check them out.
Starting Stock Price: The FP amount that the above forum started at.
Yesterday's Stock Price: The stock price as of yesterday.
Today's Stock Price: The stock price as it stands today.


Q: How are the stock prices done daily?
A: The stock prices are adjusted daily, by comparing today's total post count with yesterday's. If the forum made so many posts above an average daily amount, the stock price will increase for that forum. So it goes with loosing value. If the forum doesn't make the average, it looses it's value.
Q: What is the average daily post count that each forum needs?
A: For forum owners, or just curious users, visit the next post below and find the section labeled "Submitting and Tier Levels", as that has the average amount of posts a forum needs to make, to gain or loose FP. It also has some more explanations.

Forum Stock Market Information and Starting Guide
What I have decided to do, is basically allow people to spend and earn FP, based on how well individual forums are doing. This allows forum owners the opportunity to decide how to encourage their members to gain a higher daily activity rate, so that their forums can improve its' daily stock prices. Otherwise, the forum may suffer in this stock market.

How It Works
Basics
- This is ran by a formula, that is designed in such a way, as to determine the change in value for each share in a forums' stock. It is fair, balanced, and not biased. I have written the basic formula under the Forum Tier section, if you want to try to wrap your head around the process
- Everyday around 9 PM U.S. Mountain Standard Time, I will update the list with the current and previous price of each share.
- You may buy or sell at any time. To buy, reply using the form provided in the investors section of this post, then donate the cash immediately following the post to myself. To sell, make a post requesting your shares to be sold back.

Example: You buy 10 shares of Hogwarts School of Wizarding for 50 FP$ each. (Total 500 FP$). 2 days later, the value has increased to 60 FP$. You request a sale and you receive 600 FP$. In this case, you have made 100 FP$ more than what you spent.

Make sure you purchase shares using Today's value!

Forum Owners
As a forum owner, you can submit your forum to be a part of the list of forums that are participating in this Stock Market. All new forums added to the list will start off with a starting FP amount, based off of the size of the forum, which I have listed under various tier sizes below. Then as each day passes, I will take into consideration the total number of posts made on the forum and compare it to the previous day. If your forum makes more than your tier's average post amount, then your forums' shares increases by a certain amount. If it makes less than the average, you loose so much in your share price. You can find the tier levels below, under the submissions section below.

Investors
Buying Shares: If you want to purchase into a particular forum's stock, you will need to pay FP upfront to me, and fill out the form provided below. You can purchase as many shares that you want, so long as you have the FP for it. Depending on the forum, it will also depend on the maximum number of shares available for purchase; so make sure you check out the available shares, to decide how many shares you want to purchase.

Each forum has a price listed per single share in FP; so be careful when buying stock in a particular forum, as that is how much it costs PER individual share you buy into. After you have decided what forum(s) you want to purchase shares into, feel free to purchase the shares by donating the FP Cash to me, and filling out the following form. 🙂

Selling Shares: In order to sell your shares and get FP donated back to you, in the event you want to remove your shares due to earning or loosing FP, you need to fill out a form again, mentioning which forum you would like to sell back the shares you have previously purchased shares in. Once the form is filled out, I will then donate to you the current share price for how many you are selling back.

Trading Stock: Trading of Stock is currently not allowed.

Submitting, and Tier Levels
When submitting your forum to be listed, you will be charged a non-refundable fee, based on the tier you fall under. This fee will help your forum shares to start out at specific price, based on how big your forum is. I will explain in a moment on the tiers, how they work, and the fees attached to place your forum. I will then give you the signup form you need to submit your forum, and also prices on how to increase your number of available shares, and initial starting value increase (if wanted).

Tier Levels - Starting and Currently Listed
The Tier Levels are as follows. With each tier, information has been provided on how you gain or loose your stock prices.

Entry Fee: This is the Fee that you have to pay when submitting your forum to the stock market listing. This is based on your forum's post count upon submission. The fee is broken up into two parts, a standard 100FP submissions fee, and the FP amount that your forum's shares will start off at. Both are non-refundable, and the starting shares price fee cannot be removed from the total charge.
Starting Share Price: The starting price that your forums' shares start out at.
Average Daily Post Count Needed for No Change: This is the number of posts that your forum needs to make daily, to not have it's stock prices affected at all.
Price Increases or Decreases by 1 FP, Per: The number of posts one needs to make in addition to the average, to get your forum's stock to increase in it's price per 1 FP. This is also the number of posts that will lower your price by 1 FP, for every so many posts under the average.
Shares Available: The number of shares available for you to sell to people interested in investing in your forum stock, based on upper, middle, or lower tier levels (lower tier: 1-499,999 posts; middle tier 500,000 to 1,000,000; upper tier 1,000,001 and above).

Re: Papa Smurf's FP Stock Market - Invest in Forums!

I am a little bit unsure as to how much it will cost, so could you please confirm... I'd like to enter Languavel... we technically have 17,420 posts so would that make us Tier 3, therefore in order to submit our forum will I have to pay a total of 205FP? Is this a one time fee?

 

[Joshua Farrell]

Re: Papa Smurf's FP Stock Market - Invest in Forums!

Yeah, it is 205 FP, and it is a one time fee.

Also, for everyone elses' information. I decided to no longer list the current stock prices with decimals, and the current amount you see, is the amount rounded up or down to the closest number.

Thank you Joshua! So... I was just thinking, when it comes to the Stock Market... generally companies have Company Profiles/Description so investors can be informed about the company they'd be investing in... would it be possible to have something like that included per Forum here in your FP Stock Market? (example: Google Finance - https://www.google.com/finance?q=Tesla& ... mAH5ybuADw)

Re: Papa Smurf's FP Stock Market - Invest in Forums!

Alright i'll give this a try but i am not sure to be doing this right.

Forum: http://forum.languavel.net
B/S:
How many shares?:

What is the difference between BS and the quantity of shares?

 

[Joshua Farrell]

Re: Papa Smurf's FP Stock Market - Invest in Forums!

I explained it in my second post above, but quick explanation:
B/S = Buy or Sell
The quantity is how many you are buying or selling.

Buying Stock: In order to buy stock, you need to fill out a form listed at the bottom of this section, with the forum you want to purchase stock in, and the total amount of stock you want to buy, with the word "Buying", under the section labeled B/S. After that, you need to send the FP to me immediately, and then I will add your stock entry to the list.

Hope that explains it a little bit more. 🙂

Right so... Languavel's value per stock right now is 78FP$ so if you want to buy 3 shares then you would give Joshua 234FP$. So the whole concept of the stock market is to buy low and sell high. When Languavel's value goes up to let's say 150FP$ you can sell your 3 shares and Joshua would give you 450FP$ which would ultimately mean you'd earn 216FP$. The stock prices changes daily depending on how well the forum's posting activity is.

 

[Joshua Farrell]

Re: Papa Smurf's FP Stock Market - Invest in Forums!

Updated again. And JedoChristo, if you want that stock, you need to pay at the current stock price before I add you to the soon to be added stock investor list.
