Pump baby pump, Im gonna be dissapointed if it doesn't go beyond 280

"fat whale" "dump" bla bla, looks like you guys never seen a real pump and dump. This is a few btc sold and bought, far from anything major.

Index fund does not exist yet. At the moment we only have the index itself - a fund based on it will follow by end of year.

Regarding Wings and ICNP - this subject is covered by our recent post https://medium.com/iconominet/iconomi-performance-fund-is-launched-with-the-first-investment-588ea41e95ab#.amg7xoz55 and the same is valid for Wings: “The specific projects the fund invests in will be transparent but will be announced after the conclusion of each ICO to avoid any market speculations.”

A warning to everyone who owns ICN.  Don't think you can escape a doomscenario by quick daytrading...  Once ICN takes off it's too late and you will regret it forever!

Where is this ICN trading at?   If they invested in wings... I want some ICN! 

So how does this work? Does the ICN team decide when and what to sell or is it a colaborative decision based on investors?

Sometimes, it's best to hold or HODL coins for massive returns instead of dumping at the end of a crowdsale.

Is there a minimum holding time?  I would assume since its a "Fund Management" that it would give these new coins atleast 1-2years before considering a sell-out

ICN is currently on Kraken and Liqui.
Iconomi decides where and how much to invest from the performance fund (pre-seeded with approximately 4.5M usd) - they are the fund managers. 20% of the profits will be distributed back to ICN holders as dividends. The team does not announce where and how much was invested before the relevant ICO is closed.

It is your decision, I can tell you that many of the token holders are here for mid-long run - see etherscan. 67.5% are still on Iconomi (cold storage) and few of the biggest whales are either holding or hodling
Personally, I think that this project has a fair chance to become huge, so I am in no rush to sell anytime soon (your 1-2 years estimation is pretty much as mine).

as you stated later, it's impossible to give an indication. wait until their products are out and working.

ICONOMI writing contest #1

Because we want to engage and include our community and ICONOMI supporters, we’ve decided to kick off a new contest to get your digital currency knowledge and writing skills activated. This is for FUN, therefore no ICN bounties! Our jury will however select the best authors (one per token) who will randomly receive one of the following symbolic prizes: an ICONOMI hat, an ICONOMI t-shirt or an ICONOMI badge.

We might use your texts (or parts of them) in our upcoming communications, especially on the open fund management platform website. We would like to tap into wisdom of crowds, and put collective intelligence to work and craft that perfect, short and easy to understand description of each cryptoasset, that will benefit our future fund managers as well as our individual and institutional investors. This is your chance to tell everyone what you think of a specific token, what it is, why you love it, why you think it will succeed, why it is different from all the others…

To enter this contest, all you need to do is to write a short description of one of the listed 10 digital currencies (app tokens) below. Depending on the success of this mini-contest, next week we can continue with the next 10 tokens (sorted by market cap).

RULES:
1. Executive summary style (100 - 200 word limit. Summarise the main benefits and features to describe the digital currency/app token. Focus on the highlights - think elevator pitch... Try to describe what makes the project stand out/different from others.)
2. Facts only - everything must be 100% accurate and verifiable (sorry, no opinion pieces);
3. Include links to pages from where you obtained the information (Mandatory! Official/reliable sources only. Links do not count towards the word limit)
4. English language only (sorry, but google-translated submissions will be disqualified)
5. Only one submission may be sent per token. You are however allowed to cover many tokens.
6. Deadline for submissions is 25 November 2016 7.00pm UTC.
7. By submitting your text, you agree to transfer all rights for it to ICONOMI (we may use your text or parts of it in our future communications without quoting you as author).

BONUS POINTS:
1. For making it understandable to fiat money/old economy investors, who might not have deep technical knowledge/experience with digital currencies.
