How about security for .06 and stock options? Sounds like a good deal to me.

What about the pay? And what spot are you applying for? :-0


NVM, I guess 'security' == 'guard'. :P Silly me.

Hmm... Say, $0.06 and 30 stock options for $0.0002.

@Deadmeat
I want to propose these things.

Loaf of bread - $0.0001
Sky's stock for Bynari Holdings - $0.0002 per share, 1 million shares

@King
Stock options mean that I agree to sell stock to you in the future for a set amount. Then, when you want to, you pay the agreed upon amount and buy the stock. If my stock rises, you profit.

@Scelly9

Sell?

Umm...

(1) If you actually are selling the OPTION, not the stock, then you could.
(2) If you are selling the stock, just redeem your option at $0.0002 at sell it on the market, which is currently pending execution by our GM.


So...yes.

Also, my company's current stats are on my first post.

I would want to buy your stock RIGHT NOW, cause it's the lowest it's ever gonna be, why would I wait for it to rise?  it's gonna rise or your gonna go out of business.  You wouldn't want to NOT have me buying stock, why would you limit the stock I could buy?  That's money you get, Stock work on a supply and demand, there's a lot of supply so it's gonna be cheap, the less there is the more it'd cost.  That's why when people sell stock the price goes down, then when the price goes down, more people sell as to not lose there investment and make as much as they can.  Then everyone sells and the stock market crashes and some rich guy buys up all the stock and takes over your company. Science.

Will your company sell me more stock options?

Hey, sky. Can you SELL stock options?

I will institute a stock price tomorrow.

It will be like this:

Stock price will be around $50 a share. Rising and dropping based on income + recent profits, with random element.
Share amount will be 10 for each company, fixed. If someone buys 6 shares of the company, he wrests control of it. Companys will be able to sell shares to the public for money also.

@King

I think your quote is broken, because I never said that.

You would not want to buy my stock right now. Why? Because an option ensures that you can buy my stock at $0.0002 whenever you want.

That means you don't need to use your money on stock options right now, when you can buy it anytime.

@Scelly9

Nope, stock options are a privilege, not a right. I think you could possibly get a higher job and more options.


@Deadmeat

Umm, actually, stock price is (assets) / (number of shares).

My stock is $0.0002 a share, because I have 100000 stocks.

If you veto my opinion, I'll split my 10 stocks into one million and have them each be worth $0.0005 :P

I've said the conditions, you can offer stocks on those terms. You also have no assets in the game terms, thus why I said it how I did.

Well,

If you veto my opinion, I'll split my 10 stocks into one million and have them each be worth $0.0005 :P

Also, you said I had $200. That's my assets.

Yeah, but you have no business assets, only cash. You cant use real world sums on a very abstract game.

Cash == assets.

:/

EDIT : My petition - This game is 'interactive economics'. Thus, why don't you show your flexibility and make this experimental game into a great work of forum games?

:/

If cash is your only asset, then the company would have an extremely low stock price, forever. It would be stupid to do that in this case.


Ok - I will be totally reworking the company system for tommorrow. I tried to make it simple but you guys want it more complex  ;D

Employees - dont worry, youll still get jobs  :P

Until he gains other assets like buildings, factories, airstrips, labs, dames, etc.  Cash is an asset, so is property.
