You start to gradually to lose money once you past $2bil to the value of 0.1% per turn on any cash above $2b. So You can't just keep all your money on hand, plus if people grab you they will take huge amounts of it. To get around this people buy bushels, and put them on the market at ridiculous prices, so it doesn't sell, and at the end of the set, sell it on the private market. You can also increase private market sell price by buying Military tech.
All strats have their own production, whether that be cash, mil, tech, food, oil, you could make the same argument about producing something vs buying something for everything, at the end of the day its always best to specialise.
Cool
I didn't know having military tech will increase priv market sell price...
So...
How expensive should a bushel be for it not to be worth stocking with any more?
Is it the best good to stock with?
Does everyone stock at the end of the set?
How do you trade in (sorry this might not be correct terminology) your bushels at the end? Like if you have 10mil bushels that you bought for 40$ and you sell on priv market for 35$ in order to buy tanks to make a jump... but then your private market runs out of tanks... and pub market is selling tanks at $900 a pop and oil at $500 a barrel, is stocking food strategy still more worth it than just getting all the tanks earlier w $ you would have otherwise stocked food with? How do you guys calculate stocking/destocking?
0.1% of 2 billion is 2,000,000 but if you buy $2,000,000 worth of bushels at $40 and later sell them at $35, you lose $250,000,000.
