I just bought 71 shares of ASICminer on BTC-TC. This is my first time investing in anything using bitcoin (up till now I was a hoarder I guess). Risks aside, the value proposition just seems really good. Of course I didn't invest everything, though I was tempted to
I have two questions.
1) Am I crazy? It just seems too good to be true. Maybe i just trust friendcat too much? Why is the yield sitting on 50-60% annually and yet the price doesn't move upwards much?
2) Am I in time to get the dividends tonight?
Dividends need to be high for the stock price to move upwards -- simply because it is an unregulated exchange dealing with people's anonymous hard earned cash. The reward has to match the risk, and I think the 60% dividends reflect that. The layers of security are paper thin, so you pretty much answered question 1 on your own.

1. You are. But we all are  50-60% annual is good, but it only works if the high dividends stay the way they are. And you have to consider that you will not necessarily be able to sell your shares back at the price you bought them, so in the worst case (share price -> 0), you'll need 100% yield to even start making a profit. 2. Yes

First off, 71 shares, damn, you loaded! 1. I don't think you are crazy, it should be all good:D 2. no idea, sorry  haha...loaded? no...just lucky...i bought my stash back in august 2012. Never thought BTC/USD would get this high this quick. Been sitting on my stash too long and i thought hey why not invest some of it and get a nice return? I've done a little research and the only 2 stocks I feel confident enough to touch are ASICminer and S.Dice. But I like the mining angle a lot more than the gambling angle and seeing how well friedcat communicates here and builds so much trust was what pushed me over the edge

Best not to quote how many shares of anything you bought anywhere on this board (Thieves/scammers lurking) In the future, "I bought some shares of ASICMINER on a passthrough" would be a more prudent approach.

BTW thank you all for answering the questions. Just to clarify the shares I bought are the full versions, not the passthroughs. I assume either way I'm in time for the dividends so thanks guys.

Noted, thank you. Not much point editing the original post now I guess since its already been quoted like a dozen times

FWIW, Friendcat was in response to the new shareholder who asked questions about his new shares. He wrote Friendcat, not Friedcat

Guilty as charged. Fixed the typo a couple of minutes later but was already quoted multiple times by then. intellectual property rights on the name friendcat are now mine
