Land Theory and The L$ Value

I have a theory about land and the impact that it
has on the Linden Dollar valuation. Lets call it the
RBD: Linden Dollar/Land Theorem.


RBD: Linden Dollar/Land Theorem
----------------------------------------

As land values rise, more Linden Dollars are needed.
Demand for Linden Dollars will grow, creating a supply
shortage in the market. This shortage will cause Linden
Dollar valuations to rise.

Supporting Evidence:
-------------------------
In Aug/Sep 2004 the Linden Dollar reached a valuation of
around L$175 (US$5.70=L$1000). At the same time, land was
valued at around L$20/m2. Creating enormous demand for
Linden Dollars. Shortly thereafter, vast amounts of new Sims
began filling the demand for land, bringing land prices down
to around L$5/m2. At the same time land prices fell, so did
Linden Dollar valuations.

This Theory actually supports my arguement that
creating Linden Dollar Denominated Investments will
generate demand for Linden Dollars and push up its
value.

I wasn't aware 'Land and economy' meant it was your own little humor forum.



Take the mans own advice and ignore this thread.

But he's finally said something that makes sense! Blatently obvious, but still maybe worthy of discussion.

Shaun, the day I look at the words of someone who calls the stipend that my premium fee pays for 'welfare' with any seriousness is the day that pigs grow wings and become the new USAF bombers.

There is nothing worthy of discussion in this thread.

ReserveBank Division is a committee! More than one person must be posting under that name. There's one who was absolutely convinced the problem with the $L's decline was stipends and called for Linden Labs to intervene in the economy to fix the problem. Anyone who disagreed was called a socialist and welfare queen.

Then there's the one who said Linden Labs shouldn't intervene in the economy, and anyone who disagreed was called a socialist and a twit.

Now a new one tells us the problem is the huge amount of new land that's come on the market. This actually might make some sense, but I kind of want to disagree just to see what I'm called this time.

Really, though, it doesn't. And I'm quite happy to say why I think not by PM or similar, but I'm not going to give this troll the credit of an actual analysis of his nonsense posted publicly, which might imply that he or she was real or worth listening to.

Parnership in a commercial Sim?
Stocks? Bonds? Mutual Funds?

Can you guys give me some examples of hypothetical $L denominated financial instruments you'd use as investement vehicles? I'm very interested.

Thanks.

RBD who ever THEY are may be on to something. Something obvious, as Shaun has pointed out , but something just the same. I for one would like tohear more.

What is it that you think they are on to?

I (not we,they,them), I am onto the ties between Land Value
and Linden Dollar Value.

Rising Land Values create demand for Linden Dollars. The net
effect is rising Linden Dollar values. And the primary reason is
because Land is a Linden Dollar denominated asset.

Now if we could only get MORE Linden Dollar Denominated Assets.
Then we might see a spark in the economy.

L$ denominated stocks have already been out of the hypothetical for quite some time now. May I sugged a visit to the Metaverse Stock Exchange? More L$ denominated investment vehicles comming soon too!

According to your stats, Cyberland has 469,750 outstanding shares
with a price worth around L$9.53/per share. This would translate into
a Market Cap of L$4,476,717.

An impressive number, and moving SL in the right direction. Although
only having 1 company listed isn't going to draw enough demand for
Linden Dollars to drive up the price. You need to have more than
one company listed. It would be nice to see LL do something which
promotes incorporation and share offerings to be traded on a secondary
market.

Have fun playing your stocks folks, now you can leave our -paid for- stipend alone.
