Facebook Five Experiment Results « Empire Avenue Tips: - Sent using Google Toolbar

Experiment: I and 5 other participants agreed to check each other’s Facebook page and profile each day for 1 week and make an effort to like or comment on 5 updates each day. The result would be 5 participants x 5 actions per day x 7 days = 175 additional Facebook actions on each of our pages and profiles for the week.

The Scheme of Things

I have discovered that it's the connection score that make the difference in EAv success, and that score depends on the number of contacts you have on a particular net. For instance in twitter having thousands of followers gets you a higher connection score than having just a couple hundred.

In the case below the player with the higher dividends has a significantly higher connection score for twitter, because there are close to 80,000 followers.

In another case, not shown,  a player had  2,035 friends on facebook!  The high number of friends allows for good dividends via a good facebook connection score.

Just another down day on Empire Avenue

Everyone, just about, is down today.  I'm down. My portfolio has 82% of its issues down.

I have no proven strategy for raising my share price today.  I've done all the selling of sliders and reinvesting of quitters that I could.

I have already sold all but 2 under performers.  Those 2 have dividends greater than their daily slide in share price.  I'm just not sure if those div numbers are eaves/day or per week.  All the refunds I got yesterday were reinvested. 

Selling shares is the only sure way I know of getting the price up today.  That requires for someone to sell a lot of shares, then for some new buyer to step in and take those shares.  Or, I could offer new shares; but that's a whole other can of worms.

Maybe increasing my net worth will impact my share price.  I will invest yesterday's earnings.  If I am still not positive, I'll start selling the break-even sliders for hot issues that are making money today.

Update (10:00, today).  Well, I've sold off one slider and invested in 3 fast growers.  This has increased my net worth by about 30,000e; but there is still no change in my share price.

Wild Party On Empire Avenue!

The day isn't over yet, but I've had around 800 shares change hands so far.  That is a lot,  considering that usually there are no trades in (e)ZULU, because there is no automatic allocation of new shares.


Two more people quit today (or one big one!)  I had an extra 37,000 all of  a sudden this evening.  After checking, I found it was a refund.

It's getting wild around here, with all the refunds, dividend drops, share price crashes and all!

I would like to have an easier way to determine who quit.  When I go to endorse a blog and find the stock is gone, I realize someone has quit.

Recently it has been: 
(e)CPERKCPA Charles Perkins CPA
(e)STREETELF   (11 OCT)
(e)FLAMEZGEEKZ
(e)SEOGUY4HIRE (23 AUG)

But, still, I don't know who quit today!

Update (13 OCT 11:34). Apparently the latest refunders are:
(e)ANISESMITH (12 OCT)
(e)POD101          (13 OCT)
(e)TMAGEE         (12 OCT)

Sell Your Sliders

Lately, on Empire Avenue, I've seen a lot of people lose dividends, share price and even the will to stay in the game.  I think it stared with EAv cutting divs, maybe they even cut points awarded for certain activities.

This is my best assessment of the current situations: Many people had their stocks sold as a result of their divs dropping. This caused most everyone to lose net worth and earnings, as portfolios became devalued.  Until people sold the sliders in their portfolios, they  also became sliders.

There are too many sliding issues to keep them all without being a slider yourself.  I suggest selling all issues that have dropped over 2-1/2% from their peak and are still dropping in value more than what their dividends compensate for.

I sold all but 5 shares in my sliders. As soon as they gained 0.5e, I started to buy them back if they were still good buys otherwise. Some of the issues I sold are still loosing value fast because they have yet to fix their portfolios.

There is no direct link between the portfolio and the share price; but if the portfolio slumps too much  there just isn't as much eaves to play with, and the holder of the portfolio is just getting poorer (net worth-wise.)

Duck and Cover

Empire Avenue has been killing dividends for many of my best holdings.  I have had to sell as their prices are falling precipitously.  It would be okay if it were one or two; but many issues are falling fast.  So many sliders causes my net worth to drop, fast.

I left 5 shares of those I sold in my portfolio so I can  come back for these once they stop dropping.  I restrained from selling a few issues whose daily drop was less than their daily dividend.  For the rest, I have an alert so that I can buy them as soon as they change direction and rise +0.50 eaves.

My own dividends have recently dropped from 1.03 to about .71.   Many of my shares have been (and continue to be ) sold; but at least there are sufficiently many  who are waiting to buy those shares as they are sold.  There are only  40,000 shares (e)ZULU shares total.

Who Quit?

I have eaves
2011-10-05 15:34
Who quit! I have a 31,632.84e  extra because somebody quit, and I got a refund?

2011-10-07 04:09
Update: 2 more quit today:
I had an excess of 60,000e before earnings for the day.

Is Empire Avenue Destroying the Evidence of Malfunction?

You may find some insights into the recent drop in dividends, people quitting, Leader Boards not working, share prices dropping sharply, general crap that EAv has been dishing out lately: 
Is Empire Avenue Destroying the Evidence of Malfunction?

Dividends

I was once paying more than 1.0e per share in dividends

I did an experiment about a week ago.  I was around .86 eaves and decided to find out how much work was needed to get to 1.0.  I double my activiies and got to 1.03e/share divs.

At about the same time, EAv changed their algorighms and mande it totally not woth my while.  They adjusted my divs down by about 30%  Earnings went from 225e to 185e for the same amount of work that got me to 1.0e/share.

Now I'm back to my normal activity which now only pays .80 eaves/share, 5e less than before.

Of course, this affects ROI.  I was once past 1.30.

Who Sold (e)ZULU today?

Apparently someone sold 600 shares
Allotment Man has bought 500 shares.
Le Vagabond has bought 100 shares.

Evidently 600 shares were sold because 600 were purchases; there were none free prior to this trading.

Taking Stock in (e)ZULU

The market for (e)ZULU isn't very large; but on some days recently, 300 to 450 shares have traded.  Someone sells shares,  and within hours , someone else buys those shares.

You may find shares available if you check back from time to time.  Also be aware  that EAv will incorrectly  report no shares are available.  See Buying the Last Shares.
