I had an interesting comment on an article I wrote recently about an overall decline in the stocks of certain companies and current economic issues aren't brought up too often on this forum, mostly because we use skype for it. Nevertheless, I decided to start a thread on it. Rather than giving my views i will ask a question.
What, in your opinion, is causing this decline?
This is really just to keep the econ forum alive more than anything.

One thing that I'm sure definately didn't help is what Rian hinted at, the IDF deployments. I'm not sure exactly how many people actually deployed overseas, but I know quite a few companies lost some of their top employees for upwards of 2 weeks total.

Are you saying "Stocks" as in stock prices or "stock" as in what I had in my wearehouse and how much product I have to sell?

I'm referring to what you have in stock, so yeah; the amount of product you have available to sell. Saying declining 'stock' doesn''t really work when I'm talking about a multitude of companies. I suppose I could put it like this There has been an overall decline in the cumulative stock of companies in erepublik. What do you think caused it? Is that specific enough?  |

So, yes. The amount of product I produce each day has been lowered significantly. I usually don't hold stock... I try and move it as much as I can... but lately it is easy... I make 5 guns I can sell through quickly... but since it cost me more to make 5 than 30 I'm bringing in almost no cash.

Good Point Danny. I think the goverment should keep a statigic stock of guns in case we were attacked. The guns can be kept in goverment arms company. We have 4 Q1 gun companies and 1 Q5. We keep a stock but to my knowledge have never set what level we should keep. We used to keep more but it could of been too much. I think we should keep enough arms for 400 people to fight for say three days. I would suggest you research this further and put a proposal before the dail. You can find stock levels on one of the sites below. I would be interested in how we compare to countries of simular size or our enemies. This question and how much gold we should keep in reserve as a nation is another questions that should be anwsered. Keep up the good questions. ereptools.net/graph/currencyerepublik.ws/currencies |

Maybe I can get around to it tonight since I'll once again be stuck in a room with a computer until 3:00 am (It's part of a very boring job). I' should either have it finished by tonight or tomorrow morning (GMT). |

Danny, Finance team (nogin, me, and you if you can make it) are going to meet with Defence team (CPL, Nith, and Ian) on Tuesday night at 9:00 irish time, in DoD in game chat room. If you are free please come, we will talk about this along with wage structure at Q5 gun co., and budgets. there are 1,300 guns in public stock and 6,000 in total country stock at Q1. It costs roughly 100 gold to prodcue 1,000 guns. How many do we need in public stock in case of war? How long should we take to get stock levels up? Can we count on private stock not to sell out to enemies or price gouge if we were invaded? To be discussed, if you can make it. Good point to bring up.

If it's real life Irish time, I'll have no problem making it, and if it's erepublik Irish time it just means staying up late. So yeah. Can make it either way.

I would be willing to commit to pulling all my guns off the market in case of invasion. I would also commit to a war time price cap to insure that we were not becoming war profiteers.
I would also be willing to talk about contracting with the government to provide weapons for training wars and things like defending croatia at a lower than market price.

If I might say something, Market trends are completely influenced by the soceity in which they are based. When there is a decline in weapon stock, It comes down to Supply and Demand. If there is no supply i.e No wars and the supply says the same we will of course see a huge increase in our countries stocks, At the moment its at around 8/9000 Q1 Weapons as opposed to what it was while we were actively deploying and with regular war, i believe somewhere between 2/3000. This became hugely alarming for some people as they thought we were not supplying enough but fact of the matter is the Market will balance out, and it turned out we had our Supply/Demand pretty equal. (I think we had a bit to much supply) but when we seen a decrease in demand our stocks flew up. (and don't forget prices).
Just my two pence, not sure if its even that relevant.
