Don't become a millionaire!!

Its miserable and spoils all your fun.
I bought Keanu Reeves shares the day before the film hit Cannes and became a millionaire on the strength of that. However now I have lost all my shares and have to start again. I had two personalities who each had around 133 thousand shares in Keanu, Moonglum had around 800 thousand shares in him. These have all been taken away from us, and we can't buy anymore cause hes now oversubscribed!!!!!!!!!!!!
So where have the spare 1066 000 shares in him gone?
Becoming a millionaire is more like being punished, you want to start again but you cannot buy the shares you want. They are oversubscribed, but how many shares are set aside for each celebrity in the first place, that is kept a mystery.

They did mention how many shares there are around a while back. I think it's a total of 10 billion per celeb.
It would be helpful if they told you how many had been sold in each celeb before you try to buy them, though.

That would be helpful indeed, I managed to get another 200 shares in Keanu before they were oversubscribed again.

Anyway becoming a million makes it an even playing field. You have to start from the base again and start to use you skills all over.
As you may be able to tell just made my first million.

I've made a million quite a few times since that posting, and I'm used to it now!!

Just had a look at my potential divis for this week. Failing a collapse in the two shares I currently own, which judging by theur current divis seems unlikely before kneecapping day. I'll be making my second million this weekend.
