DoI Stock Market

Dave Gulya, Deputy SecMed

After reading the most recent update from the Department of the Interior, it seems that things are looking up in the eRepublik Stock Market. DoI Secretary IndexInfinity reported that the Stock Market activity has been the most that has been seen in a while. There is currently over $500,000 invested as of their last writing.
If you are economically minded and enjoy the idea of possibly making money, then working as your own Stock Trader/Analyst might just be for you. The value of all the stocks in the DoI program are connected to the rounded value of real life stocks whose identities are not known to the player. This enhances the RL feel to the game because just like on Wall Street, players can monitor the changes in value and try to predict the direction of the stocks.
First time investors are assigned an Investor ID and can check stock purchases and keep an eye on the stocks they own by clicking on the second page of the Stock Market Google Doc. As with any venture where there is risk, the DoI warns: This is a Department of Interior program, and is solely designed to make the game more enjoyable. It is not an attempt to replace the current economic system. Based on how you invest, you can lose money. The value of the stocks will fluctuate, making it very possible that you could lose money in the process of investing. To insure safety of the players money, all transactions are logged through a secure Google Docs sheet that is double checked, managed by an entire team and checked by multiple people.
The DoI makes Market Calculations in an article released every Monday, Wednesday and Friday and buying and selling can happen anytime by completing the Google Form Stock Purchase and Sale at the link here tinyurl.com/DoI-Stock-Trader. Good luck and Happy Investing!
