This Weeks Share Dividends...

1.93 ped per share... Hopefully this was due to people saving their peds for Merry Mayhem, or perhaps everyone being with their families for Christmas, who knows. I hope this is the exception and not the rule... If the payouts stay this low, I expect a lot of people will cash out their shares at any price just to be out of it while they can.

I advise any land deed holders to just wait a week or two and see what happens. If it still so poor, then you might expect it to keep up that way for some time.

ADVICE: Do Not Underestimate Land Deed ROI

I want to give you this piece of advice as a christmas present in that you may understand it and take it to heart. I just had an epiphany of thoughts, and I know a lot of you see the returns offered by the Land Deed dividends as paltry. But let me shine some light on this for you.

Let's compare the ROI on a Land Deed to say, a savings account interest, or perhaps a Certificate of Deposit:

Savings accounts with your local bank only offer maybe .25% to 1% Interest PER YEAR. So, on $100, you MIGHT get as much as $1. That's 10 peds per year per hundred dollars in your savings.

CD's might offer 2% or 4%... So you are talking $2 to $4 per hundred per year. 20 to 40 peds per year that way.

Calypso land deeds are paying out between 5 and 6 peds a week!!!! Do you know how significant this is?! That's 50 cents to 60 cents a week!!! You are getting a years worth of bank interest in about 2 weeks time or less on that same $100! Say you are getting 250 peds a year, you are talking 25% yield per year. THERE IS NO CD IN THE WORLD RIGHT NOW THAT I AM AWARE OF THAT YOU CAN MAKE MORE THAN 5% ON.

Robert G Allen wrote in his book multiple streams of income, that just saving $1 a day, and earning 5% per year interest will make you a multi millionaire within 20 years by compounding interest. Of course, the only way your ROI will compound is if you use the dividends to buy more shares... BUT imagine what you can do with 25% interest!!!

Of course, the playership should grow over time, every product and service has it's critical mass at which things go crazy at. When that happens, I will bet dollars to beans that you will see the ROI go far beyond 25% per year.

No, I have no shares, and no vested interest in how well they do or what their price goes to. Oh yes, I would like to have some, but maybe some day... But here lies a tremendous opportunity to those of you who are quick enough and sharp enough not to squander it.

But even if the ROI drops to 5% for some reason... YOU ARE STILL WAY AHEAD OF WHAT BANKS ARE PAYING!

Calypso Shares Week 2 Dividend

I am going to do my best to provide you with weekly reports on the Calypso land deed dividends. I hope to set up a dedicated page just for it on my blog, with a chart of the results... But for now I must track it in this manner.

Week 2 Dividend: 5.32 Ped Per Share, a 52% increase over last week's payout.

How To Collect Your Share Dividends From Land Deeds

There is perhaps some confusion reguarding this matter. Mindark has a tendency to implement new changes or ways of doing things that have to be figured out... And for the sake of completeness, I am posting this information to my blog.

In order to collect your weekly share payments, You must right click and bring up the menu, and then click
"Pedflow Center" in the list. Since I don't have any shares, hopefully all the steps after this point are self explanatory. It just tells me I have no additional ped accounts.

Also, I am told by a friend that this last payout was 3.50 peds for one share. So, you have 14 peds a month if things stay constant... Which is under half of what the estimated ROI would be...  But still, thats like getting 1K of sweat sweated and sold for you each week... And I do expect the numbers to fluctuate greatly over time depending on how much playing is done by the community.

I may decide to establish a graph of dividends and track the values over time... I'll see what I can manage :-)
