    Question Economy experts out there

    I have 80m on hand, I have 2 level 2 NC's(collectible 3 times a day) and I currently have 1 of the west sides finest gems. Should I upgrade the west sides finest gem building to level 2, upgrade 1 of my NC's or buy another west sides finest gem building. I was never good in math what with the ROI, IPH and such.

    Buy the 2nd Gem store. It's an absolute beast of a building, and if the LTBs continue improving the point where it's not a necessary building then the NC will be a decoration.

    Also, disregard ROI. It'll send you on fools errands. dIPH/t is where it's at.

    lvl1 to lvl5 LTB prize doesn't matter any more since the stats inflation going out of control.
    This Gem shop is by far the best building after Pagoda, go get em both.
    Like zeemer said, NC will not be that strong after the better and better LTBs. I personally abandoned my lvl 7 NC, no upgrade for him whatsoever.

    Also, I don't go for the lvl1/5, lvl1/6, lvl1/7 LTB upgrade style now. Do it like 4/4, 5/5, 6/6. 1 less weapon but better Econ.

    I'm a big fan of upgrading both LTBs, great for IPH.

    114 duffle bags!!! That's settled for me now. I'm always buying LTBs. Hey, they're limited time. Can't resist that!
    They look nice. I like how the LTBs are all together. I might copy that :P

    I know, I was out of internet for that one and never got around to 'em. They'll be much better before the end of next war, though.

    One vote for uprading nightclub, which will help you with future LTB's/IPH more so than a second gem store. Just a little feedback from someone without a sky-high IPH.

    The problem with ROI is that it doesn't take into consideration all the money sitting in your bank during the upgrade invested in nothing and returning nothing. This is due to the fact that we're limited on how many investments we can make at any one time. Don't blame ROI, blame the way it's calculated. Factor in the 100m sitting in your bank during a Laundromat upgrade and suddenly the ROI doesn't seem so good.

    That being said, oftentimes the best upgrade is simply the most expensive. Get that money out of the bank and working for you.

    Amazing piece of advice there.

    Concur with balthy, here. Get the LTB. Its the 3rd best building in the game right now, so don't pass it up.

    That's a problem with ROI, but not the big one.

    The real problem is that there is a range of ideal upgrades, many of which are unobtainable until IPH is insanely high. Since increase in available cash simply bring online more of these upgrades, the net effect is that for all intents and purposes inflation is infinite. Since ROI deals in nominal returns it disregards this inflationary impact.

    The only way to mitigate against inflation is to maximise nominal income (as opposed to return on investment). Hence, dIPH/t.
