BigDude,
The best way to buy shares of AMC is through bitfunder.com
The price is set based upon supply and demand as determined by the bids and asking prices of people who use Bitfunder.
Essentially, you are saying that because you are prepared to buy 2,000,000 shares at the artificially low price of .0005 right now, that Ken should make a deal with you, outside of the market.
Your post seems like you are soliciting such a deal. As long as you are making an argument for why Ken should sell shares directly, why shouldn't he make an offer to the investors who have shown confidence in AMC already, and offer those 2,000,000 million shares to all the investors who already own over 1,000,000 shares? Why should such an offer be made to you, BigDude?
You seem to be aiming my general comments about large investors at me personally - so don't. My comments are not solicitation of any kind. If I really did want to do that, I would go direct, no mucking around. And I certainly wouldn't have just voiced an opinion - and it is only that ... my opinion. My point about being a large investor, is that there is another side of the coin. It's no so simple as looking at it from one point of view.
A few points to make:
1. In the real world, we are talking Nasdaq and the like. There are institutional book builds done when an IPO or large share placement is done. This is the reality. And that was simply the point I was making. These book builds are where the big boys with the big $$$ essentially bid against each other for the shares. Once finalised, these are STILL at a discount to retail investors.
2. Continuing on from point 1. The business doing the IPO, they don't say hey, you have to pay retail prices that is best for our company. It doesnt work like that. They need the big $$$ coming in, yes even at a discount, in order to complete the placement of shares. Again, this was simply my point.
3. You ask Why should an offer be made to me? I never said it should, I am no one special. My point, again, is that if there are large investors willing to invest large sums into AMC, as a shareholder I would be ok with them doing that at a bit of a discount - because I understand the realities of points 1 and 2 above. Large investors are GOOD for the business, and good for shareholders. It's a sign of confidence.
Your post seems like you are soliciting such a deal. As long as you are making an argument for why Ken should sell shares directly, why shouldn't he make an offer to the investors who have shown confidence in AMC already, and offer those 2,000,000 million shares to all the investors who already own over 1,000,000 shares? Why should such an offer be made to you, BigDude?
That's an exellent idea ... and yes, he should do that. He should make such an offer to those investors. Again, this was not about me. It's about AMC.
And, why should 2,000,000 shares at .0005 be sold to you? You have no obligation not to just turn around and sell those shares immediately for .0008. Essentially, you are asking Ken to just give you 600 bitcoin for buying a large block of shares. At the moment, that is a gift of $60,000 for buying $100,000 shares.
Again, not about me.
How does AMC benefit from that sort of deal with you instead of just offering the 2,000,000 shares at market price and waiting for smaller investors, as an aggregate to buy up the shares?
2 million shares at .0008251 (the price now) is 1650.2 bitcoin. If sold to you and .0005, AMC would only get 1000 bitcoin. Should AMC lose out on a potential 650 bitcoin (or $65,000 at today's exchange rate) just because you are a "large investor"?
Should google, facebook, or any other company in the world listed on the stock exchanges not offer large investors discounts too? There are reasons they do it. That is my point.
Lets say AMC wants to release 15 million shares right now because they need the funds to buy equipment NOW, right now. But then it takes a long time for those 15 million shares to be soaked up at full retail rates. This is one of the big reasons book builds are done with large investors. It guarantees that the business with get the funds ... and its good for the company, its good for investors.
What price, what discount ... that's up to the AMC. But yes, I think there should be one - if its needed.
Further, even a deal done outside of the exchange would affect the market price, if not immediately, then eventually, since eventually, those share would get sold and that increased supply, when it does hit the market, would lower the price of the stock. It is simple economics and supply and demand.
That is only one scenario. Another scenario is that someone comes in, buys 10,000,000 million shares, adds excellent stability, legitimacy, and liquidity to AMC - then AMC is able to make very large investments in chips, hardware etc. The market sees this, and more people want in, pushing the price up.
You see, you dont have a crystal ball, and neither do I.
No, BigDude, the only one who would benefit from such an outside deal would be you. AMC would not benefit, existing large investors in AMC would not benefit and Ken would not benefit from such a deal.
Again, its not about me. It's about AMC and shareholder value. You say AMC would not benefit. That's your OPINION. My OPINION is that it would.
