WhaleShares on Bitshares - Fair Price: 0.35 BTS ? ..

Price Discovery - the Market Decides
For "The Market" to make a proper decision about price, they need complete information - this is fundamental to maintaining the integrity of our economic system. So, in the case of WhaleShares, what do people need to know?
1) Everything will fluctuate ..
When different Whales get involved the impact of a 1% - 100% upvote will be different for each, also the price of Bitshares will change (up uP UP!) ..
2) The amount you pay for your WhaleShares must be 'less' than what you receive when using them.
Yes, that's obvious, but not always easy to determine if you have achieved this. Keep in mind that most people using WhaleShares right now have received them directly at no cost, for winning contests etc., so they are of course entirely profitable when using them - some of those folks have taken the freely gained shares and decided instead to trade them on Bitshares.
Heads Up!
So, this is where the current issue is - the people selling their shares on Bitshares are seeking to make more from them than they would if they used them to gain a Whale upvote for their posts - so for certain, as you can see by the "SELL ORDERS" depicted above, they are being sold too high. Also we must keep in mind that the total post reward is divided between curators and the author, so what you 'see' is not what you get.
At current Bitshares price (0.31) buying 100 WhaleShares at 1.9 would mean that a 100% WhaleShare Upvote would cost you $ 58.90 .. currently the average 100% upvote is substantially less than that.
It seems that the most substantial buy order is currently bid at 0.3 Bitshares .. this would mean that a 100% upvote would cost $ 9.00 .. currently the average 100% upvote is substantially more than that.
We would love to see some discussion on this, but I think a fair price for a 100% upvote today would be approximately $ 10.00 US.
Fair Price for a WhaleShare today (with a little upside) is ..

Great. Now I don't have to research price topic of WhaleShares by myself. Thank you for saving bunch of time! Could you point out to some post with initial introduction of WhaleShares with explanation of how to use it?
Hah. Found it. http://whaleshares.net/
Take a look at the @steemfactory project.
When this post was written how much whaleshares effected post payout was influenced by the rest of the payout but I think this is changing when linear rewards are introduced with hardfork 19 some time in the next few hours. That's one reason why we haven't officially started to trade them yet as we wanted to see how that would effect price payout as well as how much the voting power will be effected.
Thank you for the feedback sir .. I def failed to take these things into account. Will watch the activity closely and update the post!
