        As a shareholder I would discuss the options of a share buyback program with the company.

        No doubt they would prefer that then dumping a large chunk of them on the open market.

        Although that would depend on the shares I got.

        Share buyback programs.

        Sell the shares back to the company rather then on the open market.

      Actually 🤓☝️ it’s more like ∞% profit or undetermined

        Still would only be 100% profit. Costed nothing to get them, so when you sell them, they will be 100% profit.

          Profit = (sell price - buy price)/buy price

          If buy price is zero, the division is undefined or the profit is “infinite” because you spent nothing to acquire the asset.

          Having a profit of 100% would mean just selling at double the buy price, but nothing stops you at selling at 3x or 4x, having a profit of 200% or 300%.

          To give a better example, try with lower and lower “buy price” (approaching zero). You’ll see that the profit goes unlimitedly up

          I may be wrong, no attacks intended (better to specify lol)

            I think everyone in this thread is right. We seem to be disagreeing over the use of the article ‘a’.

            The OP said it would be “100% profit” which is correct. This is in the general sense that they paid nothing so that any price would be pure profit.

            You’re talking specific numbers, hence it is “a 100% profit”. Depending on the price it could be any percentage like “a 213.75% profit”.

            You’re both correct! It’s funny how English works, right?!

              Pretty much. No costs of buying the shares so it would be all profit.

        Alternative answer:

        If I can get my money for nothing then I would like my checks for free.

        Edit: It’s actually “chicks” for free. Also the uncut version of this song is offensive like only something four decades old could be.

        I feel like “in general” would be the same as “everything needed to live” but I suppose if you wanted to then there could be an argument made otherwise.

        Anyway to actually answer the question I meant I would like to not pay for anything to continue living.

        I honestly rapidly went through a bunch in my head, my first one was real estate, but then I was like… “no, I’d need to get tenants in that fast cause that gets taxed separately, not just income tax”, so then my backups were either gift cards, or lottery tickets :3

        I ultimately went with the lottery cause it’s less limited than gift cards, and even if they don’t pay out all the time they have enough small payouts to get you hooked™ so at no cost even what would be putting me in the negatives irl would be profits in the hypothetical :3

        And maybe if I make enough I can just hire people to check the tickets for me in the long(er) run hah
