Keith, problem is you have to make sure your P/E is good and that you still turn a profit for the year.

But sounds like it could work.

Otherwise, IPOing for most corporations is now IMPOSSIBLE even with 60 month supplies.

I hope many more people will email them protesting this stealth change. This 50B (and dropping) is ridiculous. Combined with the sales strategy problem, are they just TRYING to make sure NO ONE is able to turn a profit in this game?

I'm ok with 50B, however it should have been announced. If it drops further, that will be a problem since it might cause the corps to receive loans whenever supplies are purchased. Already, I see more activity in the loan market. That's why I had that much cash in my corps to begin with, to prevent debt.

How about this,
I bid on corps for more money than I had and my enterprise went into debt.
200B @ 30% for 36 months.
I reduced the cash in my corps to put money back in the till and the game automatically paid back the loans after only a few game months. Hmm
So I took out loans with one of my state corps for 400B. Again 400B @ 30% for 36 months and after two months the game automatically started to pay back the loans each month.
I usually don't ever need loans, but since the ability to generate game cash has been reduced I am starting to see it happen. Does the game dictate when loans are paid back?

Another twist to the 50B cap on corp cash.

While loading a Strat corp up with plutonium it went into debt before I transferred cash into it to cover the purchase. It took out a 50B loan which will cost 50.75B to pay off, so it will be forced to carry the loan to full term.

Adjusting the "profit transfer" to build up cash will not work with corps that sell 1 unit a year.
