Just a simple comparison of CLDs and AUDs to see how they really compare in terms of ROI.
0.01 x 7 x 20 = 1.40 (payout of 20 AUDs over 1 week)
4.33/1.40 = almost exactly 3
So in terms of payments received, CLDs are almost exactly 3 times better than AUDs, given current playing activity within the respective locations.
There you go. Sellers/buyers, please adjust your spending habits accordingly.
AUDs still give a nice return, in terms of ROI (~7.25% yearly return vs 23% for CLD). I think the reason AUDs get a bad rap is a few reasons I mentioned above: Seemingly poor payments due to frequency + investment cost each (only 50 ped/$5 USD). However, once looked at in a realistic fashion, I think both CLDs and AUDs are not too bad of an investment, even by RL standards.
I suspect that if you bought a single stock of some company, the quarterly payment would look mighty pitiful if it were dribbled out each and every day. However, in the end, that stock might still be worth holding onto.
Thank you.
Disclaimer: I'm not actively buying nor selling either AUDs, nor CLDs. I might sell mine, maybe. I might buy more, maybe. This thread is NOT designed to affect market numbers for my advantage. Only to offer my personal opinion based on the numbers I see.
- CLD initial price: 1,000
- AUD initial price: 50
- AUD:CLD ratio = 20:1 (20 AUD = 1 CLD in raw price)
- CLD payment time: weekly
- AUD payment time: daily
- Average weekly CLD payment: 4.33 (based on current stats from the CLD ROI tracker thread spreadsheet)
- Average daily AUD payment: 0.01 (Based on my observations of my AUDs.)
