Havelock currently lists 17 stocks, giving 14 unique offerings. Around 6-7 of these are for mining companies, 2 are for banking operations and 1 is for an investment fund into a package of bitcoin startups.

Well, GLBSE had ~100 ~~stocks~~ scams, ~BTCTC 50, lets say the same for Bitfunder (numbers approximate, made up).
How well did that work out?

16:10:09 Apocalyptic: just wondering, does one need to have an mpex account to issue shares/bonds on mpex ?
16:10:59 mircea_popescu: of course, once people actually worth listing spring up
16:11:02 jurov: lol Apocalyptic how else would you pay dividends?
16:11:06 mircea_popescu: people were asking the same q before nsa say.
16:11:44 VanCleef: okey cool at least you are open to it
16:11:58 VanCleef: i guess nothing from other people has impressed you yet
16:12:16 mircea_popescu: its really not my fault that people with a clue are few and far between whereas "enthusiastic" muppets make up the mass of btc followers.

I completely forgot that everyone in bitcoin assets is a pro financier and should be taken seriously. I also forgot that mr popescu is the all mighty security god and he is the ultimate decider of good and bad stocks.

For a second I thought I was here to trade stocks, but now I know I need to first get mr popescus permission and approval before doing so. How is humble little me supposed to know what is a scam without a magic crystal ball and incredible intelligence like mr p?

2 years from now mpex will either have imploded or will have not listed even a single additional real stock. It's not because there are no good stocks available, just none that want to use such a bullshit service as mpex.
