State of My ISK 3/29/14

..This post will cover my ISK earnings for February and March. Future State of My ISK posts will be a monthly report.

At the start of February I had recently resubbed both of my accounts to Eve. I had ~12b in liquid ISK and ~1b in miner poop (spoils of being a Knight of the New Order).  After I resubbed, I quickly joined a WH corp with my two combat pilots.  Wanting to go full speed ahead in my new C5 corp, I purchased about 6b in PvP ships, some blingy T3s and some run of the mill ships, so that left my Jita alt with ~6b to trade with.

My market activities before venturing out into WH life consisted of utilizing Syds Sinclair, with her excellent trading skills coupled with her very good standings, to buy in Jita and the. Export out the goods to my *snip* who was stationed in Amarr. As I was mostly just goofing off doing nefarious things in HighSec, this situation worked out nicely. I could always fly Syds back to Jita every day to update my orders.

But moving her into the C5 did not allow me to continue with that strategy, so I had to transplant *snip* to Jita. Knowing that hub trading is easier and more prosperous then station trading, I moved and sold my stash of miner poop and activated dual training for *snip* to become my new Amarr importer. As some of you may know, *snip* has always aspired to be a prolific importer/exporter, as well as an architect.

The end of February finds Syds out of my C5 WH corp and *snip* on the cusp of his new career. We also find *snip* positive by ~5b ISK in trading profits. Hurricanes were absolutely killing it for me that month, bringing in in average 120m a day profit in just that one commodity.

Start of March. I liquidate my WH assets and inject about 5b into my trading. So now my trading kitty is at a respectable 16b ISK. And with *snip* almost ready to set up shop in Amarr, we're lookin' pretty good.

So now we are at the end of March. Syds and my other combat pilot, who shall remain nameless for now, haven't done much in HighSec. I'm still on the fence as to what kind of trouble I can get them into. I'll talk about that in another post.

*snip* and *snip are a dynamic duo operating a fine import/export business. *snip* exports ~6-12b ISK out to Amarr each day. My ISK/day is just shy of 300m, which I'm a little disappointed about, but my net worth is ~22b -- 8b profit for March.

That IS good ISK, especially considering I only update my orders 1-5 times a day, depending on if I am on duty in my real life job.  And I think that my profits were stunted because I only had my import/export operations set up for the last half of the month. I can live with that, but I would like to see my ISK/day improve to 1b. To that end, I have just activated another dual training for a new import alt. I'm thinking Dodixie.

So that is the quick and dirty. 5b profits in February. 8b profits in March. Two trade pilots operating like a well oiled machine, and a third trade pilot in training. And two wishy-washy combat pilots without a directive. Hopefully in April I will have improved everyone's situation.

Fly drunk!
