Just joined. Name is Kratys Elidicium. Company is Dathominion Co.
Not much documentation or anything that I can find...
So the basic idea is to try and invest in making items with small amounts of units sold and high demand (basically low %demand met) and go from there?

I think this is intriguing but I don't understand what's stopping a very rich player from investing $100 million or more in a coal mine and destroying you guys. That's probably what I would do if I wasn't broke.
That does happen sometimes to cartels and price fixers.

Until then, though, the producers who need the coal will suffer.

I think our next market should be iron ore. Its about the same size as the coal market, and given that we know that Joyce is willing to buy mass quantities of steel inputs, we should be able to sell quite alot of it.

I'm guessing net worth, but if people buy a stock, the price goes up, and if it's sold, it goes down.
So what happens when all the shares are sold out?

Also, Dan of the Apple Cider business:  Speaking of, your apple cider is more expensive than the import market.  If you drop your prices a bit, I'll buy from you.

I'm selling it at $14,5 , somebody just bought all of it, though a fresh batch is coming in an hour. I can make it to $14  if that will make you buy  better.

We could always try to get said rich player to join our scheme.

Really selling 100% of your shares is a terrible idea because if someone else owns a majority its not your company any more.

I meant if there are no more shares to be bought from the company.

It really seems like retail requires you to have a variety of goods.  If you have 1 or 2 the capitol costs will swamp you.  If you have all of them the capitol costs are negligible.

If there are no more shares to buy then... you can't buy any more shares. That company is now 100% public owned and someone rich enough could simply buy the shares off the other shareholders. You could buy shares of your own company back I suppose.

I do have a batch of 8,000,000 high quality coal being produced, but I set my price at $16.00 so you have plenty of room to undercut me.  I still sell it all at that price due to it being over Q50

Then no one can buy it.  This one is an example.

I'll keep an eye out for it.
