The prerequisite for this strategy is that you have a steady cashflow coming into your pockets which then you can use to buy stocks. Real estate and dividends from stocks are not going to be enough. Earn a lot of liquid capital by trading stocks (NGMI), shorting (ehhh) or going to the pachinko parlor (bingo).

Then, once you've earned your first billions, start a company, inject it with the rest of your money, use it to get your first few successful operational investments to get the company off the ground. However DO NOT ISSUE MORE SHARES EVER as this will dilute your own stake in the company.

As time goes on the company will become more and more self sufficient, needing a smaller percentage of it's funds to keep projects going. Adjust the paid out dividends accordingly. Use those dividends to buy more shares of your own company. More Shares = Higher Dividends. Allocate more of the companies earnings towards dividends. Rinse and repeat.

As you start nearing full ownership of the company, you should also be aiming to get around 80-90% dividend payout and allocation to reserves to below 5%. At this point, should your company need more funds it becomes easier just to inject more cash into it yourself.

If you own 100% of the company you are ready for phase 2.

Now that you have a huge influx of cash every month, we can set our eyes on acquiring other companies. In essence, there is nothing difficult about this, as this method relies solely on one of the core principles of trading stock: buying low. And we're gonna do just that.

Now, eye out one company that seems particularly cheap right now (and has a relatively low amount of shares) and follow this procedure:

Step 1: Wait for your current day to end.
Step 2: As soon as a new day has begun, pause the game.
Step 3: Go to the stock market, set buy multiplier to 99x.
Step 4: Hold down the buy button on the company you want to buy and get as many stocks as possible before the day ends (notice that as you add stocks to your "cart" time passes. This also applies to selling or even to removing stocks you have yet to buy. This is why its crucial to get in the market as early as possible to maximise the amount of cheap stock you are available to purchase.)
Step 5: Buy the stock. You will now notice that the stock price has skyrocketed.
Step 6: Since the stock price is now valued grossly above it's real worth, it will start to rapidly plummet in the following days. Once it becomes affordable again, repeat The Process from step one.

Now I recommend initially focusing in on only one or two companies, as your most urgent goal should be to reach over 50% ownership of the company you are trying to acquire. This is a necessity for the secret seventh step of The Process which is:

Step 7: DENY all attempts for the companies to issue more stock to get themselves out of a financial downfall, since stabilising the stock price and creating more shares that you will have to buy both go against the functions of The Process.

However, once your company starts earning more money for you, you can start to acquire more and more companies at the same time. Use the days when one of your target companies stock is still in the process of plummeting.


If you utilize The Process correctly, you can draw silly little mountains on the Tokyo Stock Exchange! :3


Step 8: Feel no remorse. Feel no pity. These things are only for the weak. But you are a Samurai. You are above such trivialities. You are destined for greater things.





Now I know what you're thinking: "Can any of this possibly be legal?"
And I've got two points to ease your pretty little head:
1. Ask any bigshot law-talking-person and they will tell you "market manipulation" is using deceptive buying AND SELLING to make a profit. But we aren't selling! We are simply buying and then buying some more. In fact as we'll find out later, we aren't even really making a profit, so in my eyes this would be an open and shut case.
2. The Japanese Securities and Exchange Surveillance Commission was founded in the year 1992. That means we have a whole 12 years to achieve our goals before we have anything to worry about.

Now, as you reach the end of the process you might notice that financially speaking, owning 100% of every company on the market sounded far more profitable on paper than it turned out to be in practice. All the dividends received from our new shares are offset by the reputation damage and operational instability we caused that have driven their net profits to the ground.

So if this wasn't an economic triumph, what do we actually do with our acquired companies?

Well, option one is do nothing. Just keep them. They are nice to have around and IF they stay afloat they will be another source of income, drop in the pocket as it may be. That is a big IF however, since many of the weaker companies will not survive the harshities of The Process and end up being liquidated.

How profitable is that for you? Well...


Not very.

However, if our goal is simply to own every single company on the market, then owning 100% of a company that does exist and 0% of a company that no longer exists add to the same thing.


Option 2 is funneling your newly acquired company into the company you founded yourself through a merger. For the true monopolist, this would seem like the ultimate end goal. However, there are a few downsides to keep in mind when it comes to mergers.

• You can only perform one merger every year.
  
• Merging your company (ownership 100%) with another company (ownership 100%) will lead to the creation of phantom stocks (around 7%) that you do not own and will have to buy. I do not know if this has any basis in reality, since I am just a humble crackhead with no formal education about business or economics.
  
• Merging your company with a company that has a lower stock price will cause it's price to plummet, since the pool of both companies shares tries to equalise as one new price.

However, once you reach this peak I think you will find that being there is the true reward in itself. It was never about the money, or the journey, or the friends we neglected on the way. It was about seeing something that up for grabs and going "hey, I want that". And then getting it. And then getting it all. With no regards for morals or what you were doing to those around you.

And that's what STONKS-9800 is all about.
