Stock Market

Charlie9 · #1 05-09-2006, 12:39 AM

I read in a thread somewhere but i dont remeber where about a stock market if you want to know then here is how a stock market works

There is a company with a certain amount of stock and they can sell just less then half of there stock if they sell more then half whoever owns more then the buisness gets it. When you buy stock you buy it for a certain price and the business gets money from the stock and when they are doing good you get money like if you bought stock for 5 dollars and it went up to being worth 10 dollars you would earn 5 dollars. You can never lose money on stock execpt if you buy stock on credit EX: Great Deprission.
and you can sell stock for what ever it is at if you buy it at 5 and it goes down to 2 dollars you can sell if for anything around the 2 dollar region. A company has a certain amount of stock depending on how big they are and how much money they make if there is any other questions just reply to the post and i will see if i can answer them.

It's a kewl idea

That appears to look like a business that pays shareholders based on dividends. On my server, Dolphonia (Era's original codename was Dolphonia 2 interestingly enough), we're incorporating a stock market for firms that are publically traded. The shares don't pay on a dividend system however, they are just used as reference in the judicial system when necessary. Of course, being the first server with a judicial system, we have the luxury of all sorts of neat things.

ummm......This would make money for you and they would be publicly traded or there would be stock broker's in a buisness that you would hire and tell them how much and what they are intrested and how much they will pay and they buy it.
But i think it would be better to make a stock market and a stock market npc that tells you how it works and it would work like selling a car you can sell it and players take a look at it and see if they want it or it would be for sale from the company publicly traded.

My server will have a stock market (the building has been online longer than this thread) but I can assure you that it won't work how Charlie is suggesting Era has one.

I'm not too fond of it...It's something that is judged on the sales of items. [Not very good]

Brad · #15 05-17-2006, 04:35 PM

someone already scripted and developed a stock market

i relize that it could be fixed but that is how it really works i will ask my cousin how it works he is a stock broker irl.

Charlie9 · #18 05-20-2006, 01:42 AM

arrgg i know double posting is bad but i came up with an idea and nobody had posted so what if it was based on the companys income? cant really be fixed

The value of shares is based on demand, generally.

Generally speaking, the value of an object, in $, is the amount of $ equal to that object. In such, you find a trade. If one has an object, another has $, and they both agree to trade the object for the $, then the object and the $ are seen as equivalent and are thus equal. This must be true because if the $ and the object were not equal, then the person with the higher valued good (either object or $) would be realizing a loss due to trade and would decline to trade.

What does this mean?

The value of an object, to the purchaser, in $ units, is the amount of $ the purchaser would agree to pay. The value of the object, to the seller, in $ units, is the amount of $ the seller would agree to receive. When the purchaser and the seller agree to an amount of $ to be traded with an object, then they both agree that the value of that object is equal to the traded amount of $. Thus that object could be established as being worth that amount of $ in the most recent tradeoff.

A share is just the same as any object and the most recent value of the share is the most recent amount of $ paid for a share.
