Is there a script or setting to make it so all companies at the start of the game are private companies and then after a set amount of years, they can then go public. One of the issues I have noticed is that you can buy companies cheap in the beginning of the game and they almost always seem to increase in value very quickly. If there was a script or setting that required all companies to start private for a certain number of years before going public, that seems like it might solve the issue.

I think this is a good idea. But would mess up the stock focused players & AI companies.

The corps that start of with billions, regardless of the game settings and become banks, insurance and telecom giants should always be
public.

It is too easy to scan the retail abilities of the various CEO's at the start of the game, pick your favorite, buy
as much as you can and wait 5 years for a 100x profit.
