As I receive the same questions quite a few times, I'll explain them here in public:
1. How good are these shares compared to CLD?
The shares are about twice as good as CLD.
Terminator Shares results as shown in previous post:
Total profit per share in 2016 from events: 884.83 PED
Total cost per share: 6000 PED Buyout
CLD results:
Total revenue in 2016 per CLD: 160.94 PED
Cost per CLD: over 2000 PED
So, to compare these, if you have 3 CLD's, you pay more than 6000 PED, which has similar value as 1 terminator share. 3 CLD's gave a total revenue of 482.82 PED during 2016, the terminator share gave 884.83 PED.
Terminator share gives about double the revenue as CLD worth the same amount of peds!

2. If the terminator shares are as good as you say, why do you sell them?
The terminator shares bring me some good revenue, that's correct. But I currently have an outstanding loan at 1 of the banks ingame. For this loan I pay 2500 ped intrest every month. By selling the terminator shares, I'd have money to pay back a big part of that loan. The money I'd save on the interests is more than the money I receive from the terminator shares.
3. Do I get an item for this terminator?
No you don't, this is a fund created by Divinity, and it's based on trust. If you don't trust it, then don't buy it.
4. How do I know I can trust this Divinity guy?
1. He's one of the most trusted guys in the game for a lot of people.
2. He's a high level gear trader. If he'd steal your money, nobody would be his items anymore, so he won't do this because he needs his reputation. He's also not the kind of person who would do this anyway.
3. Divinity sometimes borrows items of me worth around 200.000 peds alltogether, I also own shares in terminator and twin peaks bank worth around 200.000 peds. So if he wanted to run away with money, he could have already run away with 400.000 peds of me. He's never done that, so if he's never done anything wrong with 400.000 peds, you really shouldn't worry about 6000 ped
5. When do I get paid? Is it daily? weekly? monthly?
The payment period is variable. It depends on when the gun is rented, it usually gets rented during the big events that I mentioned above. When the event has ended, the prizes that were received with the gun will be sold. Once these items are sold, you receive your share.
6. What happens if the winner of the prize doesn't sell the prize? How do we get money?
The fund still owns for example 40% of the prize. If the winner decides to keep the prize for himself, he has to buy out the fund.
