Capitalism 2 and Capitalism Lab Forum

Stock options should be a great feature for many players that want their companies to focus in trading. I also recommend that players need to have an option to issue(to finance) and purchase BONDS from other companies/entities.

I agree with this, there should be more choices in the stock trading. I've played many games trading stocks only, doing almost nothing else. It can lead to buying out all companies but not easily, depending on difficulty levels etc.

Enhancements to the stock market in the new version:

Stock Market and Property Market Bubbles
Bubbles in the stock market and property market may develop if the central bank maintains a loose monetary policy with ample money supply and a low interest rate.

In addition, stock prices rise and fall in tandem with different market sentiments and marco economic situations, in addition to financial performances of the underlying companies.

High GDP growth and a low unemployment rate will reinforce optimism and investors’ risk appetite will increase, leading to price rallies in the stock and property market, whch will in turn fuel inflation.

When the inflation spikes to a dangerous level, the government will have no choice but to suppress it by hiking the interest rate and decreasing the money supply. The asset price bubbles may go bust and put an end to the current boom-and-bust cycle.

The boom-and-bust cycle will reinitiate again years later, after the inflation has been subdued and maintained at a low level for an extended period of time, allowing economic activities to pick up momentum again.

I suggest to add Utility Companies & banks in stock market. It can make the stock market become source variety.

Utility companies - Power & Water & Town Gas Supplies, Network Providers, etc.
