I am starting my own company, the 'Send Me Forty Grand Fund '

current stock value is estimated at ~1.00, plus or minus 1, but that just means if it goes up one dollar you'll be filthy rich!

No, what is this, Soviet communism?

Nono, in Soviet-style Communism, you *print* that every company has an ever-increasing stock, but the reality is they've all trended towards $0, and each turn you sell all holdings, pool and reallocate all monies, and then buy stocks for everyone--thereby costing everyone $20 per turn. If anyone complains... well there's one fewer person to reallocate to the following turn.

Or wait, maybe that's the early Chinese-style Communism. This one seems more like Mao's backyard furnace and farming schemes where they presented abundance to the world (sometimes with actual abundances being sent) but were scraping the barrel at home.

in spoiler tags if you're a tryhard

i think for the rounds you missed it's safe to just say you did what rylinks did until now (start from his networth minus $10 and go from there)

I'm sorry, everyone (except Juri, who is playing involuntarily) posted what they were doing, but I didn't really perceive it. I find it difficult ITT to sort out who has submitted and who hasn't

Shouldn't We Work +5 put it at 147, or did I miss an update between 4/16 and now?

I'm sorry, that's +5 relative to what would have happened otherwise -- WeWork dropped 10 in the trading, but the drop became a drop of only 5

I'll just stare sullenly at the stock graphs and mumble "bullshit, this is bullshit" to myself. No sales or purchases.

I'm bored with this game (the rote treasury buy part I mean, not the game itself..) and I guess I don't actually care if the bottom falls out here since it's pretend money anyway, so....

SELL all 63 treasury shares ---> $6624 (6634 - 10 transaction fee)

BUY 95 shares of ol' Bernie's Ponzi scheme --> 95 shares, $18 left over total.
