Update: Due to the mass purchases of a single stock, there will be a new form of limit. You can only purchase 500 stocks of a single company per day. This is to prevent ridiculous amounts of inflation. Hats off to those of you who figured out that trick

What does all this information mean?
Stock value - Value of stock
Value change - Value that the stock has changed by since the last article
Percent of market - Used for deciding player demand. Shows the amount of stock people own for this company relative to the total amount of stock owned.
How do the markets work?
Please note: Calculations are made every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. An article is released detailing these calculations each time.
The markets are based entirely off of player demand. The algorithm is:
(share worth) x (1+(change in percent market))
This is not information you need to know in order to invest. It does, however, show you that the stocks are not based off of random chance. Also, please note that change in percent market is a percentage as well.

Over $300,000 invested!

Haha. Wish I would have had the cash to buy 2000 shares like some investors....
Noob stock before = $5 (rounded down from earlier)
48% increase = $7
Rounding down for good measure still. Ha.
200 share max purchase puts this in the not-very-worthwhile category. Oh well. Was fun while it lasted!
Bumped it up to 500 a day, that should be 1000 before a price change. Thoughts?
As much as you can, I'll buy.
The new speculators' strategy may now be to create a small buying group, say about 20 who kick in 13000 each. That is enough to run up the share of most stocks quite considerably ( assuming the promoters don't interfere/dampen). In the present situation for instance, total o/s shares are 21,000. The investment group could plunk on cyber security and run it from its present 7 percent to ~ 54. ( Each investor takes up 500 shares x 2 days x $13 ). That would effect a "profit" of ~ 120,000 on investment of 260,000. Of course the group cashes out immediately, taking 380,000 in total, leaving the "pot" a bit poorer. Rinse, repeat.
Advertise the "plunk" widely and things could be even more interesting.
Again, my interest is not in ruining this thing... speculators will already have figured all of this out since I am a rank novice.... just, be aware and have fun.
Hey oliver, wanna join us or just talk about it?
Cubby: I have Turkish citizenship.... and this is a eUS program run by DOI which I fear may bleed a lot of money.... generally I don't mind making money but in this case I prefer to let players from eUSA benefit from their government's program. I admit there were a few moments yesterday when I was weighing up "shall it be 14k, 28k or 140,000 I invest". Glad I didn't give in to the temptation. You guys have fun - Seals do it wetter and deeper.
Doesn't. Look like any are up from opening price. I refuse to sell for a loss.
All of them have gone up at some point.
I need value invested and current value on the doc. This lets me/us know if weare up or down.
I'll work on it. Thanks for the advice 🙂
