Some Guidance here needed --again

Post by Guest » 09.08.2007, 11:25

I just got some spare cash and I am just wondering whether I should go into the cattle industry

according to knolls, people sell them below production costs
How is the cattle market like??
flooded or empty??
Should I go for it??
I have 1 20m2 planatation producing maximum corn each day
I also have enough wells for my water

Do u earn a small or lage profit if you go for cattle??

THank you all for your precious time and attention ...

It takes a few more steps in the production, but turn cattle into leather and leather into leather jackets - big profits then!!

Dear Gevron,

There is many items produced below their own production cost. How if there are troubles into this activity that mean you need to be down stream the cattle industry.

Currently we have this

Code: Select all

Quantity	Lower	Highest	Average	SD	Quality 
 41 082,00   	 115,00   	 160,00   	 146,18   	 12,51   	 1,60 


At the average price, at the market cost according to GAAP norms you have an added value of 40% on the average price if you purchase corn Q0 and you invest by your own. However as you can see the Standart Deviation is very high arround 13%. So, you price are gonna be in a range of 133 to 159 caps for an average quality of 1,60.

Meanwhile for Q1,6 => Q2 you need corn Q6 currently at 3,95 caps. Total : 151 caps ... upper the average price. So, people who deal in the cattle industry may control their own plantations to get money back or they sell under price.

So, it could be interesting if you own grocery stores and butcher industry.

SPB,

If you buy a mine and produce and sell stones you are guaranteed a profit forever!!
But it's not a very interesting industry!!

A wise man indeed, but he wrote that 2-3 months ago. So make sure you understand how that was calculated, not just what the answer was at the time.

For a new example of what I meant then, take a look at Lambs.

Well.... I would like to give you a general piece of advice:
You have decide whether you want to make money or to become the "market leader" in a special branch of trade and just play for fun.
The branches with huge profits (although they are changing right now) can be seen as "standard" industries but they give you money. You won't be able to become market leader (gives you "a good feeling" ;) ) in those industries.
The fun branches usually don't give you huge profits but you can easily control that markets due to a small supply. And maybe then you can raise the stats price?!? ;)

Just give it a go and try whatever you would like to.
Believe in your own strength and never forget: You are an individual. 8)

And a final word: Having a look at the stats might be a good possibilty to decide what business to go in. ;)

Note that products with a low selling price ALWAYS have low profits except water and power (large amounts can be produced). That means: fruits, chickens, eggs, seeds, beer... suck. Sure you can become market leader but there is a reason why those markets aren't filled...

At this stage in this game, you pretty much have to sell the most popular items to be the money leaders.
