The first thing you need is a settlements house. You could put this out to tender and I'm certain you will receive bids from
  • M&M Enterprises, Settlements Division
  • M&M Enterprises, Scrip Clearing House Division
  • M&M Enterprises, Registry Services Division

The second point is that most bourses allow short selling. I see no difference between short selling and the situation described in post #15. There is no real need to establish any type of insurance to cover the situation described in post #15, but for the more timid traders, I'm certain that M&M Enterprises, Reinsurance Division would cover any products developed and offered by M&M Enterprises, General Insurance Division to ally the fears of timid traders.

Rather than taking out some type of insurance (including any type of credit default swaps) the trader seeking peace of mind could undertake the traditional methods of:
  • taking an opposite position relying on arbitrage to make a profit
  • borrowing the underlying asset from M&M Enterprises, Virtual Shipyard Construction Division
  • transfer to WWII (d)


Bottom line is that with the highly integrated conglomerate and extensive business connections which characterise M&M Enterprises, I see no drawbacks but only opportunities for this wonderful new business opportunity.

Does this assetshare program allow for bartering? For example, this hypothetical situation: I don't have money to spare, but I have 7 nice old pre-war US battlewagons because my opponent failed to pull off a decent Pearl Harbor attack. However, I got bold and lost some carriers in mid 1942. Now those old BBs are useless since the US navy won't be on the offensive...but perhaps there is someone who lost all 7 old war BBs at Pearl but thrashed the KB in '42. So he needs the BBs and I need the CVs. Does your program allow for this? Or is it just some sort of real world way to make back the $90 entry fee for the game? (like farming or whatever it is in WoW, minus the doing work since the ships come of their own accord)

Mr. Stark;

The standard approach would be, of course, to first sell some of the pre-war BB's to generate cash and then try to buy a CV. Now, on the other hand, if you are one of those 1% Wall Street insiders and you are just trying to skirt capital gains taxes with an off-the-radar trade, you could try www.gypseyexchange.com

The will never 1099 you....well, that's what I heard.

Now, as to the question of recouping the purchase price, my tax advisor told me that I could use the purchase price as the "cost basis" on the first trade with a gain...but only once. You might be able to get away with a home office deduction on Schedule C but you would have to keep some kind of contemporaneous records if you use the computer for any other purposes. Similarly, I think you would have to claim you don't get any enjoyment out of actually "playing" WITP/AE. I am going to try this strategy. I figure if I am audited I will refer them to one of the threads on Japanese production or pilot management and that will pretty much satisfy them.

Santa Maria! That makes my head hurt. You Commonwealth dudes always make me feel so inadequate. I have to go look up everything. "Bourses"???

On this point: "....taking an opposite position relying on arbitrage to make a profit"

That sounds positively Edward O Thorpian, but it seems to me the buyer is not trying to make a profit, he just wants his carrier, which has now tragically been taken from him twice, first by lousy weather and a sieve-like CAP, and now by a seller unable to deliver the promised goods. I worry about the mental health implications.

Is this the scheme that got Wesley Snipes put away?

By ra way. You can't get shit for Wirraways. Whatever you get for them will be less than the commission.

Now you're talking! If we're think'n derivitives like asset backed commercial paper / asset backed securities, there is some serious coin in the transaction...the underwriting, the grading, the insurance enhancements, the sale, redemption / return timing / terms, monitoring, and auditing.

Oh, there is some coing to be made there for sure! Yahoo scooby doo!
