It is pretty simple to search the forums to see the what percentage the company is holding and how much is being paid to shareholders.  That is why I put that disclaimer there so that people would know this.  I don't recommend anyone to just look at this chart and purchase or sell assets based on the information.  This table is a good starting point to investigate and see why there are differences between the assets.  I have read through each listing enough I have most of them memorized.  Also they can change if there is a motion and I don't want to miss a motion and have false information.

As for companies that retain earnings for future, that takes a lot of trust in a company to allow them to hold a percentage of the earnings.  There are some companies that don't really report their earnings or expenses publicly.  There are some that report everything.  Also some of the assets are bonds and some are shares.

The apples to apples comparison is how much money is given back to asset holders.  Unless the company has some way to increase asset holder value, only then should they retain earnings.  I would suggest that most of the price appreciation of assets on GLBSE is due to a continuous dividend payout to asset holders and not some intrinsic value of the assets.  Until there is better financial disclosure and accounting from these companies I would say 100% dividend returns is the way to go.

Nice idea.  Next week will be the first full 4 weeks for some of them so I will try to add what you suggested.

Link to source because I read they called the police the next morning when he did not return home and he was identified that day his father called.

Also, is it considered stalking and chasing if someone calls 911?  Usually the first person that calls the police is the victim.  Another reason to never trust the police.

Does anyone know the IPO prices of some for some of these assets?

Yes I will add it.  I will keep an eye for it.  I go through the assets each week to look for which have paid.

It says only an email address has been verified.

I wonder if bin Laden shorted airline stocks before the WTC attacks.  Talk about market manipulation!

This is crazy, "point a gun and say don't move".  A gun is used to stop a behavior not to threaten a person.  You obviously have never used a gun before and only seen their use on TV.  When police pull a gun on someone they do 2 things.  1. shoot for the center mass (the chest) or 2. wait for the man in stripes to give the signal to shoot for center mass.  They aim for the chest because the shooter is more likely to hit the target.

Zimmerman had his concealed handgun license so he went through the training.  Everyone going through those classes know that if you actually do use your self defense weapon then you will need to hire a lawyer.  The only reason I see that Zimmerman is actually in jail is because of the mob pressure and the special prosecutor charging him anyway knowing the state will lose the case or because Zimmerman said something to the police before his lawyer arrived to shut him up.

At least this case will give an interesting precedent to the case law on "stand-your-ground" laws in Florida.  I am sure glad to be living in Texas.  We already had to deal with this anti-self defense crap where people think the individual does not have a right to defend their own lives.  We also had a case where someone was defending themselves but a stray bullet killed a bystander.  The shooter is spending the rest of their life in prison.  Florida is the birthplace of the concealed handgun movement and I hope this case does not take that away.

Zimmerman and Horn, who is referred to in the video, did stupid things that got media and legal attention toward them.  They should have just minded their own business.  Protect yourself and your family but for other people let them take care of themselves.


I don't believe he has those convictions either, if he had then the FBI criminal report would have pulled those records when his fingerprints were sent in for his Florida concealed handgun license.

I could add in cumulative dividends in to date, most places have recorded their dividend payments somewhere.  I am also going to add in a column for MHash/BTC for the pure mining companies.  I think showing that information would be more fair to the mining contracts that may not pay out +95% of the earnings to dividends.

Thanks.  I plan on adding more information to the table next week so there are more things to compare against GLBSE listed contracts.

I was searching through the posts but could not find the answer.  Are dividends released weekly?

I think maybe they mean blackmarket goods are cheaper like if you buy an HDTV in the parking lot of a store.  The reason they are cheap is because there is an understanding that the item is stolen and the only cost the seller had in obtaining the HDTV is by stealing it.

Buying cigarettes illegally are usually cheaper because the seller is not paying the taxes on the smokes.

For drugs it would likely be less expensive unless they were taxed.  Except for cannabis, LSD, and psilocybin, the price of drugs would likely decrease if they were regulated by the government because most of those other drugs are insanely overpriced.  Even if the government did try to regulate the price using taxes people could undercut them by making those drugs or using a substitute.

This gets back to my main point that any tax on a business or the products it sells trickles down to the consumer.  By raising taxes on oil companies their cost of doing business increases.  They will pass on this cost to consumers if the tax is industry wide.  If a tax is not industry wide then they can cut other costs of doing business such as finding other suppliers, cutting labor costs, finding accounting tricks, or by merging with other companies so their size is able to cut the cost of business.

It is illogical to say that raising a tax on the oil industry will reduce oil prices.  More revenue may go into the pocket of the government but that money is coming directly from the consumers.  The oil companies or any company does not pay any tax unless it makes a profit, and they don't make a profit unless someone buys their product.  Investors expect a certain amount of profit and if they don't get that amount they will move on to more lucrative investments.

The law does not say Zimmerman has to mind his own business.  Zimmerman just can't be involved in a criminal act while claiming self defense.  I think the special prosecutor just passed the buck to the trial judge.  If the trial judge doesn't have any balls then they will pass the buck to the jury.

If everything Zimmerman claims is true then he will be suffering when the civil lawsuit bankrupts him for life and the guilt for killing a 17 year old boy.  If he did kill Zimmerman not out of self defense but because of an emotional response of fear or anger then he will still lose the civil lawsuit.

My point is, not everyone has to go to jail for justice to occur.  Maybe after this people will mind their own business.  Zimmerman's problem is that he acted like the police too much.  He probably talked to them a lot after the shooting that could be used against thim.

Did you try stackoverflow.com or the R help group?

What is the estimated delivery now?

It can be a good deal, but I think in the BFLS.FUTURES should have a definite date in the contract of when the BFLS.FUTURES contracts can be converted to BFLS shares.

It is basically an interest free loan given to the mining company for the agreement to exchange the bonds for shares in the company in the future.  The only profit would be if there is some kind of difference between the price of the bond now and the future price of the BFLS shares when they are converted or the dividend payments when having the BFLS shares.

Maybe the market will have a spread between how much the bonds cost and how much the shares cost.  It will be fun to watch, but for current shareholders it may be more economical to just get a 0% interest loan with a credit card to purchase more boards.
