Yes it had moved a lot as of lately. What I've been told 500B has been its historical value. It's back to that, which is kind of lame because my CEO has lots of corps just bordering that 42 P/E which is now more difficult with 500 being so high, and subtract those country resource paid its tough. =(

500b market value for an IPO is reasonable and not difficult.

Just keep the corps profitable and set profit transfer to zero. It won't take very long for the corps to be worth 500b. Typically the market value of a profitable corp increases about 2-5% per game month.

The share market needs more buyers. If there are too many public corps, then the lack of liquidity will get worse.

I have no problem with the 500 i have a problem with 42.4 or 42.6. Now they are moving into the 50's cuz they couldn't go IPO when at 500B. These are all countries with adequate SQ, full upgrades, 300 salaries, and in countries with welfare indexes over 120. I have like 12 of them facing this problem. And it isn't easy either. P/E uses current Market Value the higher that is the higher the P/E becomes. I corp with 400-500M monthly profits shouldn't be struggling to go IPO.

The problem with public corps is the simple fact of Q, even CEOs make higher Q and it used to be worth it, now no one is buying so there advantage is gone. I personally think the GM needs to allow CEOs to have higher base line production.

If a state makes 100units per year/a ceo should make 115 maybe 120. This give CEO back there competitive edge. Also the GM should look into diversifcation

In the event of state ipo(owner has 25% shares or less) they trade there 370Q increase for 15or20% production increase
In the event of a ceo they see production and Q increase (5% or so).

Yeah my enterprise is 14 tril in debt though which wouldn't bother me at all, interest still isn't that high really. But I can't build corps without dropping it slightly below that 14T debt marker. And I'm stuck with like 30 corps I want to sell, and I'd even sell them for like 300 or so, but by the time they can go public for me to sell them and reach that 500 marker the P/E is slightly up above the 42, I suppose I can tank them purposely and then bring the value back up but I shouldn't have a problem IPOing an enterprised corp that makes 500M a month, that's worth slightly above 500B. That makes no sense. Country controlled Corps go public so much easier.

and the lack of liquidity from not enough buyers because so few players have no idea what they are doing. They let there workers starve so no one can invest

And the Q isn't an issue either. You get 250 Q then you only have to buy 155-160 Q. people
