In this NES, you play an investor who is frantically trying to earn money on the stock market. It's simple.
You start with 100 FM (Funny Money) and one stock option in Bell Computers.
I will attempt to update this daily. Between updates, I will give hints (possibly correct or incorrect) on what general direction a stock's price is likely to be heading.
Price Change:
The most important part of this NES. If you own 20 stock options of Ouch Music Incorporated, your future may depend on whether those stocks are going up or down. So how does it work?
I can't really tell you. Otherwise you could predict the market perfectly, and that would be no fun, would it? But you will have some tips.
Each turn, a stock may fall by up to 50% or increase by up to 60%. In addition, a stock may fall or rise up to 20% percent (more) depending on how many people are buying or selling it. (Yes, you can exploit this by getting your friends to buy it.)
The Stocks:
Very simple now. You join, you post an investor name, and you give orders, such as "Spend all my money buying two stock options in Natural Cosmetics, and sell my Bell Computers stock."
Note that you can't sell a stock and spend that money on another stock the same turn.
Insider Information
You can pay an insider up to 50 FM to give you a tip on the direction of a stock. The information will be correct with a chance of (50+payment) percent.
End Rules
All right, post away, if you have any questions, I'll do stuff about it. Random events will also happen, e.g. if a war breaks out, WYAM stock is likely to increase.

. I have a spreadsheet where I keep track of all your different stock options, but it's too complex to post. So keep track of your own stock, and I'll just warn you if you try to do something you can't.
