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.

I mean the regular risk is 40%

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

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

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

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

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.

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.

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

do i lose 40?

No.

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

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.)

Ah yes, the stock that does better when more people invest in it
