Title: [GLBSE] M.ETF - The first Mining ETF listed on the GLBSE Post by: JL421 on March 04, 2012, 06:19:10 AM .
Title: Re: [GLBSE] M.ETF - The first Mining ETF listed on the GLBSE Post by: roomservice on March 04, 2012, 01:29:31 PM I'am always looking for a good investment but i really need more information on this ETF. What can we expect?
Title: Re: [GLBSE] M.ETF - The first Mining ETF listed on the GLBSE Post by: OgNasty on March 04, 2012, 06:36:39 PM Will the ETF's holdings be made public on this thread?
Title: Re: [GLBSE] M.ETF - The first Mining ETF listed on the GLBSE Post by: OgNasty on March 04, 2012, 07:27:47 PM General holding information will be available upon request, but exact amounts of shares held will not be available for any company other then JLP-BMD. I would be interested in buying shares if the current holdings were listed on this thread and updated with each dividend payment. Listing average price paid and current gain/loss % would be icing on the cake. A 5% cut of revenue is pretty high, give us some transparency. ;) Portfolio - Ticker | Shares Held | Avg PPS | Price | Gain JLP-BMD | 100 | 0.189 | 0.19489 | 3.12% MergedMining | 100 | 0.15 | 0.16 | 6.67% Title: Re: [GLBSE] M.ETF - The first Mining ETF listed on the GLBSE Post by: Eveofwar on March 05, 2012, 04:50:48 AM I'm in for some shares ;)
Title: Re: [GLBSE] M.ETF - The first Mining ETF listed on the GLBSE Post by: sadpandatech on March 05, 2012, 05:31:25 PM Happy to report I own about 15% of this fund. ;p
You are likely going to find that at this price and number of shares we will need more very soon. cheers Title: Re: [GLBSE] M.ETF - The first Mining ETF listed on the GLBSE Post by: OgNasty on March 05, 2012, 05:43:55 PM 2 Questions:
1) Will the fund require a shareholder vote to issue more shares? 2) Will future issued shares be made at a premium, or will they be listed for sale at 0.25 BTC? Title: Re: [GLBSE] M.ETF - The first Mining ETF listed on the GLBSE Post by: MPOE-PR on March 05, 2012, 07:24:11 PM Quote Please clarify that as the operator you will NEVER issue more shares without first receiving a shareholder request to put to a motion. As long as he sticks to the "market price or larger than previous" there's not likely going to be dilution going on anyway.Title: Re: [GLBSE] M.ETF - The first Mining ETF listed on the GLBSE Post by: OgNasty on March 05, 2012, 07:26:16 PM Quote Please clarify that as the operator you will NEVER issue more shares without first receiving a shareholder request to put to a motion.

Title: Re: [GLBSE] M.ETF - The first Mining ETF listed on the GLBSE Post by: mila on March 06, 2012, 12:54:58 AM You are likely going to find that at this price and number of shares we will need more very soon. I observed some price pressure whenever more bitcoin entered glbse. I'm worried that a fast growing operations like this (meta mining) would drive up prices. even with announced growth we can see some pressure on the price. Title: Re: [GLBSE] M.ETF - The first Mining ETF listed on the GLBSE Post by: molecular on March 06, 2012, 08:59:06 AM congrats on a fast IPO.
I hold shares in 5 mining companies (apparently sold some due to heavy buying going on) and it's a little tedious to track them all. Thanks for doing this, JL421, makes things a lot easier for only 5% of the profits. A bargain I'd say. Title: Re: [GLBSE] M.ETF - The first Mining ETF listed on the GLBSE Post by: HorseRider on March 07, 2012, 02:45:38 AM Could you always issue new ETF shares if the secondary market price is higher than the price you paid for each ETF shares? This will balance the market.

Title: Re: [GLBSE] M.ETF - The first Mining ETF listed on the GLBSE Post by: Nefario on March 09, 2012, 04:55:41 PM It's part of our push to stamp out fraud on GLBSE. Asset issuers won't be REQUIRED (i.e. it's not compulsory) but our rating system will mark that asset as very risky. Anyone that invests and loses as a result would have only themselves to blame.
Nefario. Title: Re: [GLBSE] M.ETF - The first Mining ETF listed on the GLBSE Post by: 2weiX on March 09, 2012, 05:19:08 PM some quick remarks and questions:
- 5% fee and 5% "profit fee" is really steep. almost prohibitively so. - an ETF should never "issue more shares", it should "create" shares, issuing endlessly. just make sure you buy stuff with the BTC. - any managed fund is not really an "ETF", it's just an investmend fund. seeing my point above - if you were able to keep the balance between holdings, you should be able to create an infinite amount of shares as long as there are companies traded on GLBSE. - how about making two issues - one paying out dividends, the other one retaining / reinvesting the dividends of the constituents? - how do you calculate the NAV of the ETF? is there a pricing bot in the background monitoring prices? this also relates to the question of creating more "shares" - if you were to always determine the correct price of the ETF, you should ALWAYS be able to issue more shares without decreasing current investors' profits.

Title: Re: [GLBSE] M.ETF - The first Mining ETF listed on the GLBSE Post by: marked on March 10, 2012, 09:58:43 AM Does the fund limit asset holdings to a fixed maximum of that assets issues (e.g. 33% of any asset) Does the fund limit holding of all assets to a fixed maximum of the market?

I am a stockbroker by profession. My profession is highly regulated and prohibits me from issuing and/or professionally trading shares (or the like) outside of the regulations. Although GLBSE could be argued to be a hobby rather than a serious exchange, I am not gonna put my lawyer and my company (I am employed by a brokerdealer/marketmaker/specialist) through the process of securing my status for a couple of BTC. I had to jump through enough hoops and sign a 4 page contract when I started up bitcoincommodities.com and it was made VERY clear that any trading in non-physical entities would be strictly forbidden. I'd beVERY VERY pleased, willing and able, however, to advise and comment.

I'd love to witness a "3-ring binder" on how to manage etf on glbse. following it would be of course just a recommendation but at least all parties would use the same terms with the same meaning and they would report their actions in a standardized and homogenous way. best practices for etf mgmt would be a really valuable tool. at least with the possible arrival of smart money to glbse, that it won't play against a rookie fund or to signal bright enough that by certain standard criteria the market is not etf ready/friendly (bad liquidity, irrational behavior, etc) my first question is when to publish portfolio? if in real time or delayed and/or to announce also goals & plans for future investment. and second question what are the basic terms to get familiar with (nav, p.ex.)

Title: Re: [GLBSE] M.ETF - The first Mining ETF listed on the GLBSE Post by: gewure on March 13, 2012, 02:11:03 PM the already not very big overall demand in stocks on the glbse moved to bitcoin syndicate ant M.ETF, leaving empty bids for tygrr and other stocks. overall demand has to grow. either ppl invest more into bitcoin mining corporations, or there have to be more people investing. there is just too much demand in capital for so many on glbse listed companies. the capital supply can't finance all companies as desired right now, or am i wrong?
Title: Re: [GLBSE] M.ETF - The first Mining ETF listed on the GLBSE Post by: mila on March 13, 2012, 02:50:21 PM @gewure I'd say you're right. 1700 btc went to BTCSYN, 500 btc went to TyGrr-bank, M.ETF collected capital and this might have caused sell off of other stock at glbse. spread is high for some stock and/or the bids very low compared to usual prices (avg or IPO). i think this means that liquidity is bad. and RSM did not yet finished IPO while the shares started trading at loss (but that asset has issues on its own). I agree that glbse could use more capital but on the other hand, it's interesting to observe as is. I came for the experience and (self)education it provides and I learn a lot. If things would be perfect, I might loose less money but also learn less : )
p.s. I've found out that second life capital exchange exists as well, is 4 years older than glbse and we can learn from them as well. Title: Re: [GLBSE] M.ETF - The first Mining ETF listed on the GLBSE Post by: mila on March 13, 2012, 06:24:01 PM > people who bought the IPO wanting to sell out

So as I said earlier, 5% for the much more advanced level JL is doing this at for us is a bargain.

Title: Re: [GLBSE] M.ETF - The first Mining ETF listed on the GLBSE Post by: Kaos on March 22, 2012, 02:48:09 PM The first dividend of 1.45477224 BTC Dividend Paid - 0.00145477 BTC Per Share The Breakdown - 0.80587224 BTC - Dividend Gain (90% of all dividend earnings) 0.6489 BTC - Realized Gains (90% of all Share Trading earnings) Total Dividend Payout - 1.45477224 BTC Reinvested - 0.08082068 BTC Fee Taken - 0.08082068 BTC We also still have 80.575 BTC of outstanding orders, so 33% of the portfolio is just BTC, and 31.81% of the portfolio is invested in companies that have either not paid a dividend yet, or pay monthly, so it was not included in this dividend. Overall each share got a 0.00145477 BTC dividend with only 35.19% of the investment working for them, and future dividends should be higher. Also with any holdings that pay a monthly dividend, that dividend will be split between each weekly payment we payout for that month. I can confirm the above, On 21/03/2012-15:21 (GLBSE timestamp) I received 0.00145478 per share... Not bad, not bad at all!

Good job! get that rest of the capital workin then :-D wouldnt it be more practical to just "forward" the dividens as they roll in sans the fees?

Good job! get that rest of the capital workin then :-D wouldnt it be more practical to just "forward" the dividens as they roll in sans the fees? that I read your thread and it's valuable info. You should know I read it because I posted there, do you read your own thread? ;). I also read JL421 apology for misnaming M.ETF. Please tone it down a little, 2WeiX, you're an enrichment for this community and people value that, but you seem to have a bad temper at times ;). Title: Re: [GLBSE] M.ETF - The first Mining ETF listed on the GLBSE Post by: stochastic on March 31, 2012, 09:06:31 AM It's a day late, but I was waiting on a few GLBSE issues to be resolved, and since they were, dividends were paid. It's a bit lower than last week, with the migration I haven't actually made any trades yet so next week should be higher once I start trading again. For now here's the breakdown - 0.82156284 BTC - Dividend Gain (90% of all dividend earnings) 0.0 BTC - Realized Gains (90% of all Share Trading earnings) Total Dividend Payout - 0.82156284 BTC Reinvested - 0.04565738 BTC Fee Taken - 0.04565738 BTC I also believe that we are as invested as I wish to be at this time, roughly 30% of our assets are liquid coin, the rest are assets. I'm going to try to keep our liquidity down to around 25% and the rest invested. This means that we will be having a motion sometime soon about new assets being issued, but that's down the road a little bit. Finally, the assets held list from last week is now available on the first page, as well as the post below. Thank you all - JL421 When you publish the dividend payout could you also publish the total earnings made? Also, could you post the total equity value of M.ETF. Title: Re: [GLBSE] M.ETF - The first Mining ETF listed on the GLBSE Post by: 2weiX on April 26, 2012, 06:12:09 AM I totally approve of you using option 4.
If I might make a suggestion: Use the remaining BTC to buy shares as to increase Dividends. If all fails, I might be interested in managing this, but there's a couple of ifs and whens to that :-D Title: Re: [GLBSE] M.ETF - The first Mining ETF listed on the GLBSE Post by: Danijel Habek on May 21, 2012, 11:51:26 AM Is there a quiet consensus about M.ETF that I can't find?
I seem to haven't received no dividends in two weeks or so. Is it time you and 2weiX consider his offer if the fund is going to move forward, and as a small holder, obviously I would like it to continue, and more so would like someone like 2weiX give this fund a go, considering his experience in this field. Thanks, Danijel Title: Re: [GLBSE] M.ETF - The first Mining ETF listed on the GLBSE Post by: 2weiX on May 21, 2012, 02:07:03 PM that'd be grand.
Title: Re: [GLBSE] M.ETF - The first Mining ETF listed on the GLBSE Post by: molecular on May 21, 2012, 04:01:58 PM hey guys, just fyi, did some multiplying and adding and thought I'd share:
rough estimate of the value of 1 share M-ETF: 0.28 BTC (might contain errors, did this pretty much by hand, used rough mid-point between current bid and ask for value of constituents, please point out any mistakes, do your own due diligence, blablabla) Title: Re: [GLBSE] M.ETF - The first Mining ETF listed on the GLBSE Post by: Danijel Habek on May 21, 2012, 08:29:37 PM Is there a quiet consensus about M.ETF that I can't find?

Thanks, Danijel Hello; I'm the issuer of BMF, a managed portfolio of miners on the GLBSE. We're going live on June 1st. If you like, I can take over control of M.ETF and merge it into BMF. The fund would be liquidated, but it would be a better deal for your investors than if you just sold all the securities you've invested in and closed the fund. Please send me a message if you're interested in this. tsukino.ca/bmf (http://tsukino.ca/bmf) Your BMF IPO on GLBSE is what got me writing the post above. It may be a good sign. I've missed JL421's post when he announced that he's out of time to manage yet another project, and was fine with his solution to keep the dividends flow even without further investments, but was looking for another mining fund dividend plan to compensate M.ETF loss. I would like to know JL421's opinion on this, and would vote for merger with BMF, if there's no interim CEO to keep M.ETF going. Title: Re: [GLBSE] M.ETF - The first Mining ETF listed on the GLBSE Post by: HorseRider on May 23, 2012, 10:48:14 AM Seems that the M.ETF is dead. No dividend is paid since 2012/3/5
Title: Re: [GLBSE] M.ETF - The first Mining ETF listed on the GLBSE Post by: Danijel Habek on May 23, 2012, 07:48:34 PM Phew...that was close :)
Thanks for taking an effort to push forward. This is the first and "oldest" mining fund, and should be the strongest one. Please, just drop us a post like "no divis for next n" and I believe no one, including myself would nitpick about dividends or whatever if only we know there are some bumps ahead of you that need some time to solve. Buy, buy, buy!!! Title: Re: [GLBSE] M.ETF - The first Mining ETF listed on the GLBSE Post by: BrightAnarchist on May 24, 2012, 03:26:11 AM Are you planning on issuing more shares anytime soon?

Let me know. Thank you. Title: Re: [GLBSE] M.ETF - The first Mining ETF listed on the GLBSE Post by: Danijel Habek on June 18, 2012, 09:12:14 AM Name: JL421

But the dividends of JLP-BMD have already been paid. Good news. I bought more M.ETF. Life can give you amusing shows, so to say. I don't expect CEO sharing his personal problems with his investors, or some other forums, but when you post a LOA somewhere, ping us occasionally (once a week would be perfect). Why not create a simple website where we can log in end see data we're interested with? Automated online spreadsheet at least? Title: Re: [GLBSE] M.ETF - The first Mining ETF listed on the GLBSE Post by: Danijel Habek on June 21, 2012, 09:10:52 AM M.ETF dividends paid out
