Why would you loan Capital? - Grumpy - 08-07-2013
Just asking, why would somebody loan their Capital out when you can make SO much more by just using the markets? I'm only online on DZ for about 30 mins in total per day, yet I manage to make 5,000 Capital easily every day.
So why would people loan their capital?

Some people like to help others, and some just want the interest.

To make profit in interest I suppose..

My point is, you can make so much more profit my using the stock market... it makes loaning really pointless in terms of profit-making.

Well with loans you don't have to watch the market constantly.

It helps people out. It takes a while to get started when you have less than 50 capital, so giving them a loan helps them out and eventually helps you out with interest. Plus, some people have enough to give a loan, and use the rest they have to still use the stock market.

Correct me if I'm mistaken, but didn't I loan you 1K last week, when you barely had any capital...?
I do it to help out others, it's not easy making profits with barely any capital. Some people need a little something to get them going.
I also make a profit from loaning.
Some people get busy during the day and don't have time to use the stock market every single hour, therefore loaning someone capital to make a profit...

Because some of us are too lazy and we are generous enough to loan people capital so they can get a jump start in the stock market.

Yep you did, but now I'm at the point where 1k extra capital would do almost nothing for me... it's just much more profitable to work on the stock market yourself. Loaning to people only slows down your own progress.

At this point, yes. But if you eventually prestige, you'll be back to square 1 once again, thus needing a loan from someone to get you started.
Loaning only slows you down if you use the SM every hour, which not everyone does.
