The "Cubing Stock" Game Thread!

[Exmestify]

I just remembered that my location is set as your cubing sweatshop
Legally I have to mention that he does not own a sweatshop
He owns 2

i read sweatshop as sweetshop

 

[THE_V01DL0RD]

I assume the value of the stock can change based on world rankings
Ex: Yiheng's stock can go up if he gets a world record. Possibly a sub 3(subtle foreshadowing)

That I know of

I'm currently working at gsingh³ sweatshop "willingly", so there's definitely more than two.

I wonder how many more there are

I wonder how many more there are

I visited CT and saw 14 and in NJ there was 21, seems like there's one in every state/country

(I literally looked at a comp tomorrow, and found him, which his PR is from 2022, and he DNFed the only other time he competed, so I hope he can get me some profit)

Since I thought this was an interesting idea, I thought of a strategy that I think would be really effective. The competitors I chose are not well-known, and I don't know them either, I found them by looking at competitor lists. I'm curious to see how well my strategy does compared to what everybody else is doing, which is totally different(and most of them are clearly not trying to actually win but I want to be #1 in the leaderboard just for fun).

Since my strategy mostly relies on random cubers who are competing this week, I feel like while it may be a better strategy, it goes against the spirit of this game(since it's about top solvers who have a lot of potential) so I'll only do it this week.

Buy: 500 tokens of Cameron Pollard (2022POLL01)

Buy: 500 tokens of Tomer Gluzman (2024GLUZ01)

Buy: 500 tokens of Nathan Putman (2024PUTM01)
Cost: 500 points( 1 point each)

Buy: 500 tokens of Dirdh Modi (2024MODI01)
Cost: 500 points(1 point each)

Buy: 500 tokens of Gaurav Roy (2019ROYG01)

Buy: 500 tokens of Jonathan Hallen (2024HALL21)
Cost: 500 points(1 point each)

Points spent: 5000
Points remaining: 0
Total value: 5000

So far, Cameron has doubled, Tomer hasn't competed yet, Lucas doubled, Nathan doubled, Dirdh hasn't changed, Gaurav is now worth 6 TIMES MORE and Jonathan has doubled. My stocks are doing even better than I expected lol

Not really, you bought his tokens almost 5 hours after this round happened.

Yea, I feel some people could just buy someone like when they are at a comp, and they can talk to them and see they improved etc. And then they could get more points, but I feel 5 hours is reasonable

Talking to people at a comp gives an advantage but it's not cheating. But you definitely can't buy stocks that have already grown, at the price before they grew.

Didn't see before, sorry

I'll try not to do it again

Yes, if he bought them at the price of 4 points each. Guaranteed gain by buying tokens of people who have already PRed at the price corresponding to their previous PR makes no sense.
