Well there are only 5,000 shares in circulation now. Therefore it's just 1.94 times.

It's not so crazy. Even when the last two weeks are a little cloudy, both our dividends and growth rates are still quite sweet so far.

Security issued:10000

Where are the other 5000? I think these need to be either taken into account in your financials (as bonds reserved for sale and valued at ??) or cancelled so that the GLBSE info corresponds with your financials. Otherwise, it is hard for someone to make a fair evaluation of the value of your fund. Not that many people even think about value when using GLBSE ). But you may be losing investors, who, for example, would pay 1.94 times but not 3.88 times NAV.

[friedcat]

Thanks for your advice, we will include the actual number of shares in our financial report from now on.

The other 5,000 are still reserved for future sale. We started from 3,000 shares, and expanded to 5,000 two weeks ago, with the releasing date and price of the rest shares undecided yet. Our fund is highly shareholders-controlled, and any expansion plans need to be passes as motions first.

Thanks for the dividend!  Wish it was higher 

YABMC coupon this week (tomorrow) will help for next week!

[friedcat]

Thanks for the dividend!  Wish it was higher 

You are welcome. I wish it was higher too, and tempted to do larger investment on new pirate-related assets, but we finally decided to always stick to a conservative investment policy, and don't hold higher-risk assets for too long.

YABMC coupon this week (tomorrow) will help for next week!

Of course. And after the ask wall is eaten over, I hope there will be some considerable increasing in price.

[matthewh3]

I know you didn't have much faith in me when I first started but I have received a board and have been paying weekly dividends for four weeks from tomorrow.  I'm hoping board #2 ships by tomorrow effectively doubling the whole weekly dividend and we have about 650 shares at 0.4 for board three.  Which I could get shipped within a week.  A new bitstream is being worked on for the boards we use and I've estimated at current difficulty with all shares sold and having three boards our weekly dividend per share would be over 0.00485000btc with the new bitstream.  Even without the new bitstream with all shares sold and having board #3 at current difficulty our weekly dividend per share will be up to 0.0040btc.  Also all shares purchased are backed and insured by the hardware.  Meaning if we were ever to fold all the hardware would be sold (we have currently paid for over $2,100 of boards) and paid out in one big dividend.  So you can't loose your money.  Thanks.  Matt.  Red Star Mining.

Update

The second round of public offering has finished. All the 1,200 public and 700 private shares are all sold out, much more quickly than we thought. The CEO permanently gives up his fee and takes 100 shares as his compensation, as was passed by the motion.

Thank to all new and old investors. We've successfully expanded to a larger scale now. Towards great value and growth we are coming!

That's an interesting idea. If you had 1 bitcoin dividend among 95 shares with a 5% management fee, each share would receive 0.01 bitcoins dividend. but if you had 100 shares (but you owned 5 of them) then each share would still, obviously, receive 0.01 bitcoins dividend. In fact I like that idea a lot as it eases the accounting to a great degree. You're a smart guy, I don't think I ever would have thought of that.

Well I think it's quite a standard way of compensation for managers. Cognitive, FPGA.contract and TyGrr did that long before.

I'm not sure that's correct about TyGrr. From memory, Goat kept a majority of the company based on his own assets put in, but the management fee comes out of the dividends.

I checked the main thread of TyGrr Tech again. I guess you are right.

We used the fee structure before, though we never really took any fee during that time. Later we passed a motion to give the CEO 5% of the new shares whenever we do expansion (https://glbse.com/vote/view/21).

Update

The MU index is a hobby-like project at this moment. Its frequency and authority is not guaranteed.

We will evolve it to a much regular and professional index based on a fixed formula to evaluate performance and decide which assets to contain, when we have enough time.

I like what you are doing with this fund and enjoy your updates

[friedcat]

I like what you are doing with this fund and enjoy your updates

Thank you very much for your appreciation.

We think till now the biggest advantage of choosing our fund, is that we provide a nice option for people who want nice return rates without directly or indirectly involved in Pirate -- In spite of being away from Pirate, our return rates are not bad at all.

We did buy some PPT.x bonds before, but we just quickly sold them off within hours and reduced the risk to a very low level. We are even less unlikely to do that again in the future. So we are moving from "almost-Pirate-free" to "totally-Pirate-free".

So we suggest people to buy our shares if they want diversity. We probably could never make 7% a week as Pirate does, but our financials are public, and we only invest in businesses of which the business models are open.

[JWU42]

Nice improvement on the dividend this week - up over 40% from last week.

Thanks. Maximization of our shareholders' dividends and NAV in a long run with an acceptable risk level is the only purpose of MU.

[Bitcoin Oz]

I picked up a small amount of shares

[friedcat]

I picked up a small amount of shares

Thanks again.

We have to say that, even ourselves consider MU amazing, because of its past performance of continuously beating the market for nearly two months, which are not a short time in the Bitcoin world. And we did it mostly by trading mining assets. They are relatively less risky. Someone might say that actively maintained mutual funds can't beat ETFs or the average market in the long run, but let's see.
