Entropia Directory CLD Report 25/11/2013
Calypso Land Deeds
Monday 25th November 2013 saw the 104th CLD payout and marked the second full year since the introduction of Calypso Land Deeds at the end of 2011. This latest payout was 4.15 PED, making the total payout for 2012/13 223.32 PED (based on a participant owning 1 single CLD - there is some rounding down that will cause those with large number of CLDs to get a few extra PEC).
The return for this year was 22.33% based on the original CLD price of 1000 PED. Although, during the year the CLD resale price has ranged from 1180 PED to 1560 PED and ends the year somewhere around the 1480 PED mark. The overall trend for the year is a stable high return, with a September/October dip, producing a very shallow downward gradient.
As I stated in a previous article, the value of a CLD is simply a balance of supply and demand. For this reason any drop in price should be self-correcting as investors take advantage of the lower prices as an opportunity to buy. I believe in the last few months we have seen this in action. CLD resale prices fell from their 1550 peak in september/October to around 1430 in November. At the end of November there is increased buying activity and CLD prices are already back to around 1480 or more.
Comparison to 2011/12
The return of 223.32 PED or 22.332% is slightly lower, but generally similar to the return of 241.81 PED or 24.181% for the previous year. Individual payouts for 2012/13 were less erratic than the previous year, which may be due to the ongoing 10th anniversary events. But, with so many factors being relatively new (new planets, ongoing events and the CLDs themselves) it is hard to speculate on the reason for this.
Overall
When all the data is combined we see a return of 465.13 PED or 46.51% over 2 years, averaging to 232.565 or 23.25% per year. Based on these averages the time-to-return (based on original CLD price of 1000 PED) is 4.3 years.
Conclusion
As with all investments, there is an element of risk to CLDs and participants should only invest if they are comfortable with that risk.
As with all things EU, the perceived value of an item is affected by participant activity and can also be directly affected by decisions made by Mindark.
All that said, with the returns we have seen to date and the potential future land rights and voting aspects, I believe CLDs continue to be a stable, relatively high return investment opportunity.
