So get this i start of my game buying something that is a rated strong buy. Such as gm ups with in the first 5 days of the game. I buy all i can not worring about the dedt i incure. Then come feb. 1st when you can buy options i sell that company. After it netted me about 2 or 3 mil in the first month. Now that i have sold that company i short them and buy feb options as many as i can before the 15th. I now cover my short position the pps surges. The option expires at a gain plus ill get 19% of the company. With this process over and over again makeing holding companies along the way. I go through the holding companies and buy the options. Covering shorts with options is almost a sure thing as long as you dont go to far out. Oh and i only do this with the largest companies as well as strong buys. I was able to generate over 1000000mil with in the first year of play. Obtained 3 holding companies. I have also noticed that if you do this and make a holding company after you take over a company. With this process you can set the div well over 2.00 for the holding company. Your parent company say gm or ups obtain a nice profit for the parent company. This makes it posible to set that div so high and you can still have the growth set high in any ecomomy and make a profit. You have to watch though market share gains fast since i can set it all the way up. Even with the growth and either r/d or advertising set all the way up. The company will still generate enormous profits. Oh and once you have the limit of 15 stocks held collecting the divs of 15 19% companies i make a new holding company or obtain majority ownership of one of the 19% companies and make them a holding company to fund them. On one of my games i have done this on i am holding 2000000 in goverment bonds that i got in a 12% bond yield. Those where the long bonds. That expire in 2029. Its year 2014 and i am worth 15000000mil
