Since I got the original stock market removed, I figured I might as well start a new one!

If you run some sort of business on meep where you could benefit from investors, please reply to this thread with the name of your business and a short description.

Here's how it works,
FOR BUSINESS OWNERS:
I will discuss with you in a private message and we will value your business, create a stock ticker, and discuss the amount of shares that will be available for purchase.

FOR INVESTORS:
You may buy shares of the company and you will own part of that company. Some companies may have dividends, others may not. Company valuation will be updated weekly, so if the stock price goes up you can sell your shares for profit.

Currently this system is rough and will be refined. I believe that I am one of the best people to run this, because I use the real stock market daily and know a lot about how it works.

Here is a list of current businesses that you can invest in, along with they stock ticker, price, and other information:

It depends on the kind of business that is participating. I can explain more if you ask a specific question.

benefit from investors
~ @X11

What kind of businesses would need investments? What can this do that taking a loan from a player can't?

You may buy shares of the company and you will own part of that company
~ @X11

How does this benefit new players?? A new player can't afford any shares to a large "company" and only smaller, non-known shops.

what do you mean by "company"??

This makes no sense at all. Also how did u get it removed if you joined June 2nd?

Any type of business might need an investors to help fund the business. This is better than giving a loan because if a business needs 10mil worth of investments, not many players could/would be willing to give that huge investment. By buying stocks, it allows more people to invest in smaller amounts and make money.

New players can afford stocks in any size of a business. Let's pretend there are 2 businesses worth 1mil each. Business A has 10,000 shares for sale for $100 each. Business B has 1000 shares for sale for $1,000 each. Shares X Share price = the total equity of the business. Business A is cheaper, but is still worth the same amount as Business B. Any player can afford to invest in any size of business.

I have a question, If I wanted to buy 2 stocks of bob the builders contruction company (obviously just a dumb example) and I did, who would the money go to?Oh I just read Im supposed to put a description of the banky, basically I give out loans with interest, then sell the loans off as investments to other people, so I don't really care if the person pays back or not, because I have already made My money back, I will never be the one caught holding the loan when the music stops, However as an effort to customers, I do blacklist untrustworthy people. (nuker...)

I should sleep.

The money will go to the owner of the business, and some of it will go to me for organizing and running the stock. Right now, I do not know any percentages or anything.

He will probably make a lot of money, However If it gets going, it will make many other people money, and this is only if your buying stocks from him, say I buy a stock from him, and the stock goes up, other people might think it will go up more, and I can sell for higher than I bought it for, He makes money, I make money, and the buyer of me possibly makes money, as everything is speculation. At some point most stocks will be so far removed from him that he won't be making any money, and the fee will probably be a incredibly small fraction of what he could have made in the time hes taking to set this up.

Okay, I guess I just didn't read through all of it. I also didn't think of it that far lol.

Everyone makes money with this.

The owner of the business is able to expand from the investments.
The investor is able to make money by trading stocks.
I will make some money from organizing and running the process.

I would assume that you have to report how much you make for your company, what you make in a given time frame would reflect that market, for example right after EULA, a few ultimates made a spawner store that was huge, then summrs made a pwarp and the ultimates shop couldn't compete, so if they had had stocks, the ultimates store probably would have initially gone up, but then fallen due to it being pressed out of the market because lets face it, summrs pwarps were really popular.

I could be wrong @Meeting , I don't really know a whole ton about this type of stuff.
