Every stock has a risk value. This value is dictated by how much you invest in the company each month. By default, it will be at 40% risk if you do the default investment. Higher risk means your stock is more likely to decrease in value. Every additional $3 you invest in the company each month decreases the risk by 4%. Please avoid investing in non-multiples of $3. If you invest nothing in one month, the risk jumps up to 70%.

does this mean if you invest $30 per month the risk will be 0%?

The minimum risk is 4% for player-created stocks. I will edit this into the rules.

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

I mean the regular risk is 40%

so when you pay extra do you reduce it from 40% -> 36% or 4% of 40%?

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

is it an option to not pay when you have the money to pay?

[Ircher]

I mean the regular risk is 40%

so when you pay extra do you reduce it from 40% -> 36% or 4% of 40%?

It is a linear decrease. Spending $12 for instance makes the risk rate 36%. Spending $15 would make it 32%.

is it an option to not pay when you have the money to pay?

Yes, just pm me before I post the next update.

- Whenever another player buys one of your company's shares from the market, you gain 33% of the proceeds. This does not apply if stocks are traded between players.

if I issue a stock and it costs $100 per share.

and Tweetie buys it for $100, I get $33 bucks in my bank account?

can you explain how risk works?

Yes. There's some rounding/truncation involved, so you may gain or lose a few extra cents.

can you explain how risk works?

It's something like I generate a random integer from 1 to 100, divide by 100, and compare it to the risk value (as a decimal). If the generated number is less than the risk, the stock falls in value and vice-versa. I am going to note that the rise/fall in value based on risk is the first thing I determine, and then other modifiers are applied from competing stocks, etc. Thus, it is possible for a stock to "fall" based on the risk value but end up with a positive net change after all the modifiers are considered.

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

ok what if tweetie sells the stock the next month for 120

do i lose 40?

[Ircher]

No.

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

so wait if she just keeps buying and selling i just keep getting money?

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

[Ircher]

Yes, at least currently. (I reserve the right to change the way it works with notice.)

(This assumes the sells and buys occur in different months. In a single month, I collapse multiple buys and sells into a single buy/sell transaction.)

[N]

[Tidus of the X]
