Shareholder Benefits
Last Updated on Tuesday, 08 November 2011 02:47
Stockmarket benefits are received by buying a certain amount of shares of a stock. They are instantly active, but may take some time to pay out.
Below you will find a list of stock benefits and aproximate times.
- You can only gain one benefit in each stock.
- Splitting and Stacking:
You can split a stock at any time, but if you split it lower than the required amount, it will lose the benefit. - Stacking any stock will reset the buy price and date. You do not lose benefits by stacking, once the benefit is active.
- Random Dividends:
These pay out, on average, 20% of the stock's value each year. This is completely random though, you have a 1 in 2,160 (number of hours in three months) chance of getting the dividend every hour. This means you could get 24 in a day, or none, ever. - Constant/ Non-Constant Effects:
If it's a 'Constant' effect, it is always, and automatically, active as long as you have the required amount of shares. Anything not marked with 'Constant Effect' on the list below happens randomly, as described above.

Payout Analysis (for random dividend and item payouts)
We know two things for sure (confirmed by Chedburn in this thread http://www.torn.com/forums.php?forumID=2&ID=8631130 ).
1: The benefits are completely random.
2: The probability 1:4320 is significant.
Now for some guessing:
Chedburn told us 1:4320 was the probability each hour to recieve a dividend with monthly payout. Now JimmyJames pointed out that that gives on average 1 payout in 180 days, so I assume Chedburn did a mistake and forgot the multiplier for dividends that I assume is 6 because 6 months is ~180 days (6 months of 30 days). For dividends that give out items on a (claimed) weekly basis I have assumed 4 weeks for each month giving the multiplier 24 (4*6).
This gives a 1:720 probability to receive a dividend for a certain stock each hour, or a 1:180 probability of receiving an item from other specials.
The binomial distribution then gives you the odds of getting any specified number of benefits over a set period.
For dividends it will look like this after 180 days:
0 dividend received:_____________0.2%
1 dividend received:_____________1.5%
2 dividends received:____________4.5%
3 dividends received:____________8.9%
4 dividends received:____________13.4%
5 dividends received:____________16.1%
6 dividends received:____________16.1%
7 dividends received:____________13.8%
8 dividends received:____________10.3%
9 dividends received:____________6.9%
10 dividends received:___________4.1%
More than 10 dividends received:___4.3%
And for items it will look like this:
Less than 10 items received :____0.1%
11-15 items received:__________3.3%
16-20 items received:__________20.8%
21-25 items received:__________39.0%
26-30 items received:__________27.3%
31-35 items received:__________8.2%
36-40 items received:__________1.2%
More than 40 items received:_____Less than 1%
I used the period 180 days because that is apparently what Chedburn use for those 6 months periods he is talking about. (Also worth noting that 180*24=4320 again) You do not lose your benefits after this time, they last for ever as long as you do not sell you shares.
Also it does not matter at all whether your benefit have given you 0 or 50 payments the last week. It is totally random each hour.
I have no reason to think that any of this is changed after the stock marked update.

So, what happens if you invest the exact amount necessary for the benefit, but because the stock goes down it no longer is the required amount? Does that still count?

It doesn't matter if your stock price falls. All that matters, is the price you bought the stock at in terms of getting your benefit, such as dividends. e.g. you bet 75 million in Torn City Clothing, but the shares fall leaving you with 74.5 million in the stocks, you will still recieve your dividends

And dividends is just a pay out of money ? so you will profit either way kind of thing pretty much ? for example if i place 75 million in torn city cloths and the shares fall leaving me with 70 million dollars is it most likely that i will make a profit still over 75 million dollars ?

I predict the upshoot of a few new oil refineries in about 60 days!
Also, if anyone has any idea on the following hypothetical questions, that would be great!
Suppose you invest over a billion in Torn City Investment Banking for the appropriate number of days to achieve the "Improved city bank interest rates by x." Is this a permanent increase or only for your next investment or a limited amount of time? What if you then upgrade your bank interest through merits? Does that overwrite the increase you earned by the stock market achievement? Finally, could you repeat the cycle again (reinvest over a billion in TCIB) to achieve yet another increase in banking interest?
I realize that nobody has yet experienced this yet, but I also know that some people out there actually know the answer since they were involved in devising these upgrades. Thanks for any help!!!

just wondering how long is the time period we have to wait for the benefits? Also if I invest 200mil in a company that that gives it's benefit at 50mil then will i get 4 times the amount of the benefit or does it not matter how much over u invest?
TCB: It doesn't matter how much you invest, you can only get one benefit in one company at a time.

@Borat
I think the increase in interest rates your talking about will take effect for any number of investments as long as you will not withdraw that 1 bil from TCIB.
The increase in interest is on top of any bank interest upgrades through merits (just like natural nerve bar increase adds to what you had before merits)

This is a message from TC Clothing hoping it helps clarify something!
I´ll post when i recieve the dividends!
:p
Dear The_New_Hope,
I am writing to you personally from Torn Clothing to thank you for your investment. It was brought to my attention that you invested an amount of money equal to or in excess of our threshold value that is $75,000,000. For such a large amount of money, you have been accepted as a premium shareholder.
We will be paying you dividends randomly (monthly on average). We cannot predict which date you will be paid on as it's going to depend on the financial position of the company at the time. It has been calculated so that you will receive, on average, $75,000,000 back over a 6 month period, should you keep your money invested with Torn Clothing.
I hope this is to your satisfaction,
Yours Sincerely,
Mrs. Stella Patrick

Thanks -AR-Digger, I see what happens now. You must keep the amount listed invested to maintain the benefit. The bank interest one really only makes sense if you have about $3.5 billion then, since you'd never make up the difference if you have $2.5 billion or less (thinking bank maximum).

Regarding the benefits you can get from investing a certain amount of money into a particular stock (TCC for example) if you invest $75mil then after 'x amount of days' you get random dividends paid to you over the course of 6 months coming to a total of $75mil...
I was wondering if you invest say $75mil and after a certain period of time the price drops and u then have LESS than $75mil, will you still receive the dividends after the 'x amount' of days?
TCB: As long as you don't sell any, yes.

i bought TCHS shares over 50m but divided in 3 parts. means 35M 12M 2M. so will i gain shareholder benefits or not?
second;
i also bought ISTC share over 25 M. will i gain benefits both of them (TCHS ISTC), or only one of them.
TCB: You have to invest the required amount in a one lump sum (all at once) to qualify for the Stock Benefit.
You can have more than once Benefit at once, but only one in each Stock.
