INVESTMENTS


We're taking the classic forum game of Investments into the digital age!

The concept is simple:
The premise of the game is simple, you are an investor given some virtual dollars and use those dollars to buy virtual stocks which fluctuate every quarter in an attempt to make as much money as possible. In addition to that you can participate in various exciting events from time to time. I will be in charge of the government, the businesses that are selling stocks.
I'll keep a list of players in a very very special spreadsheet.

THIS IS THE SPREADSHEET.

Every 18-48 hours, I'll update the stock prices for that day, and announce any special events! Any stock price changes and events will be announced in this thread.

To start the game, each new player will be given $1,000. From there...your destiny is yours to chart! Post your stock purchases/sales here, and I'll update the spreadsheet. This game starts...right now! You can join the game at any time, always with $1,000.

Our starting selection of stocks will be limited--

Red Beds
-$60/share
This bedding company has an unbelievable selection. It's considered lightly volatile, but will tend to go up in value, generally.

Green Machines
-$84/share
This manufacturing company is well-regarded, and, despite recent overall slowdowns in manufacturing, is expected to continue to see slight, regular growth in future periods.

Blue Shoes
-$0/share
This clothing company is a relatively new business, which has a hold on the shoe subscription service business. This company went on Shark Tank, though the episode has not premiered yet. As a "start-up", you could see wide shifts in value from this company.

Yellow Fellows
-$94/share
This moving company will move your goods across the country with nary a complaint. This stock tends to be moderately volatile, and could go up or down on any given day.

Purple Merkels
-$76/share
This political journalism business has high highs and low lows! This stock is lightly influenced by the actual news cycle, both domestic and international, and can see high variance.

Orange Mortgages
-$150/share
This blue-chip stock has been well-regarded for years. One of the largest banks in the country, Orange Mortgages has consistently good earnings. However, a recession can hit any business hard, and this bank is no exception.

Black Attacks
-$55/share
This military-industrial tech company has hit hard times recently, and is expected to decrease in the future. However, when this company's fortunes turn, you can expect a dramatic increase in value.

Teal Steals
-$111/share.
This clearance warehouse just entered the stock market and anything could happen! Expect some modest volatility. You're not quite sure if, over time, this stock will tend to go up or down.

You mean you wanna take sidebets on how the market is gonna be? A fake market, based on fake events? That we have no possible way of informing ourselfs about?

I mean, we did get some info about how the different stocks act.

If one was going to take a dive before rebounding I would love a shot at shorting the stock and getting out at the right time and buying back in as a future at the right time.

Is that a little too much for right now?

Red Beds
saw a generally good day, going up $2.
Green Machines
stagnated--the value did not move.
Blue Shoes
went up $5 on news of new efficiencies in the shoemaking process.
Yellow Fellows
went up $6 as a new tech headquarters was announced, prompting many to consider moving.
Purple Merkels
went up $3. As impeachment talk simmers in the House, more clickbait articles help this company's bottom line.
Orange Mortgages
went up $4. More mortgages--no problems!
Black Attacks
saw a rare increase of $15! Who's prepping for war this time?

"Stock Histories" has been added to the spreadsheet.

And it's time for another MARKET SHUFFLE.

Red Beds
--Another day, another dollar! Or, more accurately, another TWO dollars.
Green Machines
continues to stagnate, and has not gained any value.
Blue Shoes
saw absolutely stunning growth as they've figured out how to use algorithmic advertising to their advantage. The stock goes up $10.
Yellow Fellows
also saw record-breaking growth as one of their primary competitors declared bankruptcy today. The stock goes up $9.
Purple Merkels
--With not much to write about, there was little movement in stock value. The stock goes up $2.
Orange Mortgages
sees continued excellent growth, going up $6.
Black Attacks
feels its first typical downturn, going down $8.
