The "Cubing Stock" Game Thread!

[Caleb Valenzuela]

Basically you put money into investments and things you trust that you have a feeling will become more valuable as the years go on, and when you feel it’s the right time you sell them and get the money back for hopefully a higher amount than you put in the first place.

ok, makes a lot of sense, thanks!

Gotta have an official way to do this before my next comp
Gotta bet on myself and at least double it
Also Gurshan gotta lock in and make me some bank

Is the leaderboard based on whoever's stocks are worth the most, or whoever has the most tokens? Just in case, I won't sell yet, but these are how much the stocks are worth now(I think I made a mistake with how much I buy of each stock but the stocks did well so it should be fine)

Cameron Pollard doubled, so 1000 points to 2000 points

Tomer Gluzman doubled, so 1000 points to 2000 points(barely came short of quadrupling)

Lucas Shi doubled, so from 1000 points to 2000 points

Nathan Putman, so from 500 points to 1000 points

Dirdh Modi didn't change(barely came short of doubling), so from 500 points to 500 points

Gaurav Roy is now worth 6 times as much, so from 500 points to 3000 points

Jonathan Hallen doubled, so from 500 points to 1000 points

So if I were to sell these now, my tokens would go from 5000 originally to 11500 now.

Going all out, so Kyle Green, whoever you may be, please do well tomorrow.

Sell- Everything I bought, sold for a total of 11,500 points.
Buy- 11,500 tokens of Kyle Green(2023GREE31)(1 points each)

Can't bother to find multiple people lol, so if he doesn't get sub 20 I'll just sell these back.

Matty doesn't have a sub 5

 

[Caleb Valenzuela]

Matty doesn't have a sub 5

am I not supposed to wait until he gets sub-5?

A sub 5.1 token costs 1700, not 2000

 

[Caleb Valenzuela]

A sub 5.1 token costs 1700, not 2000

i thought i am supposed to invest in the cuber that i think will get the certain barrier. Like i invested in matty getting the sub-5 barrier

 

[CubeLite]

No, you invest in how much he has now, and when he gets sub 5, you sell for that barrier

 

[Caleb Valenzuela]

Leo doesn’t have a sub-5 average yet, so should I make it 1700 points instead?

 

[CubeLite]

Leo doesn’t have a sub-5 average yet, so should I make it 1700 points instead?

Leo has a 5.2 average, so he is worth 1450 points

Here is how this should look

I had an interesting idea a few days ago after a Dilly Milly stream I was watching. During the stream, Dylan mentioned that he was going to be “buying Hansen Yu stock”, and that got me thinking about a cool game idea.
I thought it would be fun to give numeric values/points to a number of barriers in 3x3 solving (average times, not single). Say the “sub 5.5” average barrier was given a value of 5 points. Sean Patrick Villinueva currently has a 5.45 3x3 PR average. If I were to purchase 5 of his tokens, that would cost me 25 points. Say, in a couple of months or so, Sean improves his PR average to a 5.17. Let's say the “Sub 5.2 average” barrier was given a value of 8 points. If I had purchased 5 of his tokens earlier for 25 points, they would now be worth 40 points. These tokens can now be “sold” back for a profit. Whoever has the most points will win on the leaderboard, which will be updated weekly.
Point Values (relative to official averages):
Sub 30: 1 point
Sub 20: 2 Points
Sub 15: 4 Points
Sub 12: 6 Points
Sub 10: 10 Points
Sub 9: 14 Points
Sub 8.5: 20 Points
Sub 8: 30 Points
Sub 7.5: 50 Points
Sub 7: 100 Points
Sub 6.5: 175 Points
Sub 6.3: 250 Points
Sub 6: 450 Points
Sub 5.7: 700 Points
Sub 5.5: 1000 Points
Sub 5.3: 1450 Points
Sub 5.1: 1700 Points
Sub 5: 2000 Points
Sub 4.7: 2500 Points
Sub 4.5: 3000 Points
Sub 4: 5000
WR5: 2500 Points
WR4: 2800 Points
WR3: 3300 Points
WR2: 4000 Points
WR: 5000 Points
The cuber will take the highest value that applies to them. For example, Tymon Kolasinski has a PR average of 4.74, which belongs in both the “sub 5” and “WR3” categories. Because the “WR3” category has a higher point value than the “sub 5” category (3300 vs 2000), Tymon will get the points assigned to that category.

To buy tokens, make sure you format like this:

Buy: 5 tokens of Gurshan Singh (2019SING33)
Cost: 250 points (50 points each)

To sell tokens, make sure you format like this:

Sell: 5 tokens of Gurshan Singh (2019SING33)
Value: 250 Points (50 points each)

I will update the leaderboard every two weeks. With that, have fun!

IMPORTANT: EVERYONE HAS A STARTING BUDGET OF 5000 TOKENS

If you sell do you just get the points or does somebody need to buy them
