Ah, that's it. That means I'll have to wait 4 or 5 months (investing every month) for gold to appear in Madeira...

Hum, I don't think you'll find gold in Madeira, even if you invest a large amount of money there....and even if you do, it won't be cheap... I suggest you to go and buy it at the eastern African coast, take 2 or 3 lager ships (xebecs or carracks) fill them with gold and bring them to northern Europe... you'll be millionaire in 2 or 3 trips like that (I remember once the bank refused to accept any more of my money so I had to carry over 100 gold ingots with me - and I attracted all the pirates who crossed in my way....)

Gold appeared on my second investment. It costs 420 (which I can haggle down to 399) at its cheapest, and I can sell it back at Genoa for 1500 a piece. I currently have two Venetian Galeasses, modded to get 830 cargo space (120 bunks, 0 guns), so I can ferry 1460 lots of Gold (730 per ship, 100 lots reserved for 50 food and 50 water) and get about 2 million (200 ingots) per trip (which takes about 12 days from departure to return to Genoa). This route has proven extremely profitable: I've over 9 million pieces of gold right now.
