Once again, I'm happy to have bought JTIC shares. Even if JT Financials can not officially offer a regular and fixed dividend beacuse of the banking ban, they continue to pay dividends regularly.I just received the last one, and obviously I re-invested it in more JTIC shares !

Arbitrage Wise posted today an update on the SLCapex website about the JT Investment Certificates. To comply with the new LindenLab policy, the JTIC are no longer paying a fix interest rate.Instead they are now a classical investment company with a target of 0.06L$ monthly dividend per share. I dont exaclty understand why this was a need, as the shares are not exchanged within SecondLife, but the

After some strong fluctuations, the price of the JT Investment Certificates (SLCapex: JTIC) came back to its original level, in the 1.12L$ range. When JTF created the JTIC, I bought a bunch of them for 1.05.During the last weeks, when the banks ban announced by LindenLab shook the banking industry, I was lucky enough to buy a second batch of JTICs at 0.65L$ each. This was kind of a risky bet, but

Arbitrage Wise very recently announced that JT Financials will be reshaped in SL Wallet, and amongst decisions result from the banking ban, cash deposits will no longer produce interests.Those of you who read this blog from its inception (thanks a lot...) know that interests are VITAL for me as sole camping or similar activities are not sufficient. It that the end of my challenge ?Not sure... At

In these turbulent days where the SecondLife banking industry is under high pressure, it is important for me to support Arbitrage Wise. Not only because he helped me with my challenge, but because he is helping all of the SL community with financial services.Given how busy he is, his answer was short, but he nevertheless answered. Here is his message to you:"Thanks John - just tell your readers

As Mr. Oh very appropriately commented on my last post, I'm putting all my eggs in the same basket, and it is true that last time (Ginko...) this strategy gave catastrophic results.However the think is a bit different this time, because all of the banking industry in SecondLife is at risk with the new ruling LL seems to put in place. As I already explained a bank is vital for me to achieve my

The anouncement by Linden Lab to remove all ATMs except those from registered banks (?) created a huge bang and mini-panic on the stock market.My personal decision is to call for "Banco !" and put all my money in JT Investment Certificates ! So I now hold 20020 JTIC shares and no "cash" on my SL Capital Exchange account. I made this investment for three reasons:Show my support to Arbitrage Wise

LindenLab posted yesterday on their official blog a post saying they will start to remove ATMs from SecondLide as of 22 of January !The only way a bank could continue to operate in SL is to register with LL:"We will not apply this policy to companies who submit a registration statement, charter, or other applicable license from a governing regulatory authority, or who are merely conducting

Since I opened my account by JT Financials, the interests of my savings and the payments from the JT Investment Certificates totalize 2000 L$ !This is only 0.2% of the million I aim for, but it is a good sign for two reasons:I got these 2000 L$ doing absolutely nothingThe rate at which I earn interests is growing together with my savingsI also re-camped a few hours over last days, and even if I

The time I could spend in SecondLife for the last months has been reduced to an extreme minumum for various reasons on which I can now say more...In spring 2008, I will change job, location, and country. Job hunting, decisions, and move preparation took a lot of time. This combined with the fall in camping possibilities took me away of SL, except for very brief visits.After discussing with Wrag

My daily routine still do not allow for time in-world, but I keep an eye on my SLCapex accounts, and place orders when needed. End of december will bring in the second JTF Investment Certificates payment, and on top of that two good news came recently:JTIC to offer Dividend Bonus & Early Dividend PayoutThe early dividend is just fine, I would not have the JTF guys working on 1st of January,

Today is good... it's the first time the JT Financials Investment Certificates pay interests. So JohnLight cashed 494 L$ in, and JaneLight about 50 L$.So thank you JTF, thank you Arbitrage Wise, and continue ! At this pace, I will be millionaire in 166 years. Hopefully I also got standard 0.1% daily interests, so it will be slightly quicker ;-)Any support appreciated...

Persitence... this is the key workd in Second Life. Just as in the "Just a Gigolo" song... life goes on... without me !I just updated my balance information, and even without having been online, my money continues to produce interests. I have few more affiliates who opened SL Capex accounts via my ATM in the shop, in Club Josephina.Some new members joined "Free Money From JohnLight Raymaker"

I spent some time today in SecondLife, and wanted to confirm what had been said in comments about camping going down because of the new search feature.The cause is not so easy to define, but I must say that when I went thourgh campsites I had in my inventory, I was quite surprised. Many of them just vanished, or lowered their rates. Some CampMasters were still at the same rate, but not accepting

These days my real life is just going crazy. Many changes are in the air, and managing it uses all my spare time, so I have no time left for camping. As I don't want to miss decisions that will impact the rest of my life for the next 10 years, priority is clearly to Real Life. I keep an eye to my SL Capital Exchange investments, and will place orders if good opportunities show up.The challenge is

I've not been connected intensively to Second Life for the past five days, and I somehow feel in lack of it. Ok, I don't have shaking fingers, I'm not sweating, and I don't get excessively nervous. However when I've some spare time, I'm tempted to launch the client, just to check if there is a good camping spot free, or check if friends are online.The social aspect of Second Life makes it really

No more money in the air... I misread the JT Financials Investment Certificates (JTIC) dividend payments... They start producing interests today, and first dividend payment will be on 1st of December... So no payment yesterday.I don't have a lot more to report, as my RL is getting hectic, with potential job change, and tons of work... Even if I like being in SL, I can't be there all time so

My income from daily interests has been quite low over the last weeks, as I bought JT Invesment Certificates. I left only 5'000L$ in cash by JTF, so I got about 5L$ per day, but tomorrow (may depend of your timezone) JTF will pay interest on the certificates for the first time.The deal with these certificates is they pay 0.2% daily, on the 1st of each month. So I expect quite a good income, and

Cannabis also makes JohnLight rich !I did not started to deal nor smoke cannabis, keep cool, man... I just found a new campsite, themed on cannabis. The big weeds plant on this screenshot is paying 2L$ / 5 minutes... which is the double of my standard rate ! So yes, cannabis makes me happy, man !By the way, did I say that the location of this plant has been shared in the "Free Money from

Wrag is always full of ideas, of enthusiasm, and of energy.I asked him several times to share his ideas via the blog, and he finally did it. To be fair, I don't understood myself all what he wrote in this guest post..."Hello readers:Well I'd like to tell about a

This blog was born on the 1st of June 2007, 4 months and 26 days ago, and this is post number 201... a good time to look at all what I've done in SecondLife since.I started with the goal of making money easily, using camping and banks. Simple plan, just a matter of how long I could camp and how much I could get out of the bank. I quickly learnt how find good camping spots, and how to re-configure

This was supposed to be a happy, festive, funny post, but it has been RUINED by bloody fake camping benches !I found a spot cracked-up with 3L$ / 15 minutes benches. I was so happy that I sent a notice on the "Free Money from JohnLight Raymaker" group to share it with all the members ! I even teleported some friends there, before starting a long camping session.When I came back, what a surprise..
