what manipulators get fined for cheating. And for what not logging in for 30 days? That kind of seems a bit harsh.
There are less than 3000 ports since V2 was introduced that are valued at more then that amount.
How to spank the long term players that have reached Uber port status and are part of the big show.
Even the least of us at Rank 100 pays out $178 million.
At $100M port is $5 million that a couple of days play to get that back, or a really good adjust. $570 million is a third to a half of a year (for the very best traders), not to mention a couple of years or so probably needed to gain the rankings back that you would have lost. We are talking billions needed to just keep pace with the other Uber ports in the time frame to earn that ranking back.
You need some kind of hard cap. $25 million sounds about right. That's about a week give or take to earn back which is fair.
You need to drop the penalty to 2%. That is the cost of a sell and purchase order. Just like they had been active and trading, and bought and sold unprofitable investments worth the value of their ports. You would need a port in the top 800 before you the cap. And for those that say it isn't fair that those 800 are capped there are magnitudes in difference in the amount of game play needed to earn back the percentage hit.
With the new rules of 100K stock holdings a port valued at $20 million need only buy a stocks that move a cumulative value of $10 or one stock that moves $10.
They could make that just playing the news in the evening
In my case I would need a stock that moves $5,700.
That's a hell of a lot of news.
A small port can make it back in an evening of trading.
Medium sized a couple of days.
Big ports some where around a week of trading. And I think a week a trading to earn back the penalty is fair. And that's why there should be a hard cap. You have to remember the the bigger ports are handy capped by not being able to be fully invested like small ports after $3.1 billion its all cash and that earns .25%. The cap makes up for this. In this game there are only 3 other ports that are bigger then my cash position.
Unless HSX wants to make available Class b shares in stocks that mirror the price of the Class a stocks but don't influence the price where the uber ports can park the cash. Limiting it to ports valued at greater then the investments available. Port Net Worth - $3.1 billion = funds available to purchase Class b investments.
I need to think on this to fine tune it but good enough for a rough draft. :)
