While you are waiting, you might as well play on stock market to multiply your money and speed things up a little.

2. You played for a while, farmed a lot of company levels/shares, and now the cheapest decoration upgrade costs crazy amount of shares (100 million+). The only way forward is to go for an uber-long run using the stock market. This grows the shares exponentially. The exponent is pretty slow (means it takes several days to double the shares). But if you are patient and play for several months without resetting, you can get an insane amount of shares.

Coffee is pretty good - it is actually more efficient than Gold and Diamonds. The disadvantage is that you have to constantly babysit it, buying/selling every five minutes.
Hi,

I made a long run, it took a bit over two months(!) and traded until i was around e300 (money). At around e250 the girls did not get any further upgrades, at e300 they do not get any more levels. the sum of the levels is then 57k. with the shares (of course doubled for 10 gems) i could max ALL decorations, except the one that increases shares, it is on level 74.

at this point i can level a company to 5k in a matter of seconds, and to 9 or 10k in maybe 2 minutes. it gives 2M shares, but the only thing i can do with shares, is to level the shares deco (the neon sign) which is super expensive.

right now what is left is to get gems, and buy multipliers of it, to get higher ranks in the tournament, to get more gems etc etc...
without autoclicker i easily reached top 200 in the last tournament (just below 12k).

with more gems it will be easier to finish the events :-)

Ah, and i got 53% of the highest level of the stocks trading achivement, that means i did a bit over 2500 trades (probably a few before the run)

Also, diamond is by far the best, of course followed by gold, and last coffe.
Due to overlapping timers, best strategy is:
buy diamonds, sell diaminds, buy coffe, sell coffe, buy gold, sell gold, buy coffe again, sell coffe, and then you can buy diamonds again and start over.

cheers :-)

And, as a side note, after i sold the company, i got banned during the tournament. after contacting via chat, i got unbanned pretty fast, but they said it was due to the high amount of shares, some automated checks banned the account :-)
