The Capitalist Game FAQ

I'll update this post as common questions arise.

Questions:

1) Why Can't I Trade Stocks?


Answers:

1) Why Can't I Trade Stocks

You cannot trade stocks until you have some personal funds to invest. Once your company reaches a Net Asset Value of $250 Million dollars it will be reset and you will unlock the Player menu. This time you will receive $1,000/month in salary that you can use to purchase shares in your own company or other companies.

This FAQ needs to be updated to show that you no longer receive $1,000,000 but $1,000 a month for every month you run the company as one with player status.

Done, thanks for the pointer.

I noticed that under a contract price the word "Auto" . What is this for and how does it affect pricing. I can't seem to find an answer to this in the forums or game manual. Thanks

these auto-priced contracts were an attempt to make the whole contract system more attractive. (and a good one too)

basically auto means that the price of the goods changes automatically with the real market prices.

if u click on a product youll see the base price, the market sell and the market buy prices. now click on the "market" in the "market price" text.

youll see a list of all products, search the one u wanted to know about and look at the fourth (4th) value. this is the one the "auto" contracts use.


so with auto contracts youll

buyer side: never pay too much (and always less than buying at the market), but during a boom youll pay more than during a panic.

seller side: always make more money than selling to the market, but during a panic your that still might not be enough to make a profit (theoretically).
