Suggestion -- Stock Options: Futures, Buy and Sell Puts/Calls

[dnulho]

I think that having more stock options and allowing players to play as stock traders would be an interesting addition. One of the biggest things that I would like to see added, (as much as I can use Cap Labs as a 0 IRL risk environment to better understand how it works, and the potential pitfalls and benefits of using it,) would be the ability to buy or sell Put and Call options on any publicly traded business.

I would also like to see commodity futures available to leverage and potentially assist with profiting or stabilizing prices. I am unsure how that might be implemented in game, but as a one-time $10 investment as a sandbox simulation DLC, this is much more preferable then potentially losing $1000's and I try to gain basic understanding and potentially some strategies on the IRL open markets.

To be honest, I don't really like this suggestion, it kind of diverts the game away I think from the core model of businesses and it goes in the direction of turning the whole game into a bit of a speculation/gambling kind of game. I probably would not use this feature if it was implemented.

i don't see the need, there are already other products out there for stock market type simulations.
