Returns On Bandstocks Investments

[Ed]

Hey,

not that it really matters as I never bought bandstocks to make a profit and im proud to be a part of it what ever. But just interested to know when we might start to see any return from the investment, however little it may be?

Cheers, ed

Isn't it after a few years? Could have remembered that wrong.

I pretty sure that it said somewhere on the Bandstocks site that any profit from each year will be passed onto the fans every March/April, for the next 5 years.

Dearest TWINners,

Just dropping a line to let you know that TWIN membership was officially closed on Sunday 24th May 2009 when Patrick's Bandstocks fund reached the full £100,000 target - we think you'll agree that's some great news!

TWIN members, you'll still get the exclusive member-only benefits that were described during the sign up period - you should have already claimed your free downloads of The Bachelor through the Bandstocks shop, and, if you wanted to, bought your special limited editions of The Bachelor signed and numbered by Patrick. The benefits (including the financial benefits) of being a TWIN member/investor in Patrick's album will continue up until the end of May 2014.

The Bachelor entered the UK Independent Chart at #2 in its first week(!) and made the top 50 in the mainstream album chart: that's a world first for an album funded by investment from fans, and we'd like to take this opportunity to express our huge thanks for getting involved and investing in what has proved to be a very exciting venture.

If you have any queries about TWIN membership and what your entitlements as a TWIN member are, please email [e-mail].

We hope to be announcing TWIN part 2 shortly, for when Patrick launches a new Bandstocks fund for The Conqueror, so watch this space!

Lots of love,

Team Wolf x

this applies to bandstockers as well, obviously.

a) from the bandstocks FAQ:

How much can I earn?

We can’t make any guarantees about this, but you can play around with the calculator to get an idea of what is possible. It is important to stress that any information you get from using the calculator should not be taken as a prediction of what will be returned on your investment. The other very important thing to note about the calculator is that it is designed to give a rough guide of earnings for a project funded through Bandstocks which is then released independently through Bandstocks. It does not apply to other Bandstocks funded projects and does not apply when rights in Bandstocks projects are assigned or licensed to third parties. You should read the notes on the calculator before using it for more information.

b) no idea, sorry.
