    I was active twice before on ECC. The first time, I was seeking to make an empire and develop a walled city, Volticade. However, I lost interest. The second time, I tried to work my way up the ladder towards getting a Star Pick, but I ragequit after repeatedly dying and losing my stuff.

    I'm back due to the new Stock Trader feature, which has piqued my interest. So far, I've managed to enchant a Diamond Pickaxe to Eff5 Fort3, and accumulated 13.4k. My friend Cain (that's his IGN) has come on and been mining and giving me his ores and netherstars from voting to give me a boost. Here are my next plans.
    1. Consider multiple options for stock investment. At the moment, I intend to invest all money set aside for stocks into Tesla. I'm considering getting involved with the Epsilon Investment Bank and DeMacca's reports, as I'm quite impressed by their propositions.
    2. Open a writing service. Write custom books on topics of a customer's choice at a rate of $1,000 per 1,000 word book, then take the book and sell it, giving each copy a unique number.
    3. Excavate my town, VolticadeCity, and turn it into a 'miner's retreat'. Allow people to buy residential units where they can store, smelt and craft their mining products, and create a central shop where people can then sell on the goods they mine and buy and rent tools and useful resources like torches, food and exp.
    4. Create more towns adjacent to VolticadeCity, including the following. Some might span multiple towns.
      • VoltFarms, with farms and a central shop for selling produce and buying and renting equipment for farming
      • VoltBuilding, with plots for making megabuilds and houses and a central shop with building materials
      • VolticadeMall, a megastore stocking every item in the game
      • VoltCasino, for betting and gambling
      • VolticadeBank, for saving and investing money
      • VoltPress, for fostering creative works
      • Custom-built towns for clients, perhaps taking the form of a massive megamansion taking up the entire town, or their own personal kingdom loyal to the Volticade Nation
    5. Maybe create a gamification system, where participating in one Volticade town would get you a discount in another by building up reward points called "Volts".
    6. Build up a larger slave team. I already have Cain working for me and giving me all his ores and netherstars, why not get a few more?

    This is better suited in the Goals Section.

    Welcome back. Awesome goals, however, I do believe you may find it difficult to find many that are willing to work and give you everything :D
    You also may wish to change your term slave as it really frowned upon here on the server.
    Wishing you success!

    I joke about the slave thing of course ;) I accept that of course, not everyone will be as generous as Cain. But it'd be nice, no?

    Thank you for your kind words!

    Best to buy soon if you want to make any legitimate profits off Tesla

    This.

    Plus, if a second opinion counts, I wouldn't even buy Tesla. Tesla, despite it being run by Elon Musk, has debt problems and underlying financial issues that make it risky. That, combined with heavy governmental subsidies and product issues (lifetime cost of batteries) = not the best.

    Also, I'd diversify and steer clear of shoveling all of your money into one stock. Balance can save many things when a stock you think will go up bottoms out on you.

    That aside, I bid you good luck on your goals. You seem very organized and are very on-top of what you want to do! :)

    I think I might focus a bit more on my stuff within ECC rather than the stock market, I can make more money that way, I think, and if I ever decide to take a break, I think I'll invest a bit so I'm still making money even when I'm absent.
