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?
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.
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.
If one person owns 50.0000000001% or more of the shares of the company... they own it.  They can boot you out as CEO and appoint themselves or anyone else.

That said, if the majority owner is 10%, and everyone else is less, apparently the highest share owner is the boss.  Count on someone trying to buy out the other shareholders to beat that 10% if they really wanted to do a hostile take-over...  (Blackwater as an example.)

Then no one can buy it.  This one is an example.
So the share price will just decrease until every shareholder sells all his prices and bails out?

Again, pretty sure it's tied to net worth as well, and I'd assume revenue in some way.

Only insofar as the people buying/selling the stock care about such things. If enough people buy a stock for any arbitrary reason, it will go up.

Got back into this with a hunch that seems to be paying off.

And the upcoming features are promising.

Decided to specialize in bedding. Going to start by working towards pillows.

How do you guys go about getting the later products? Do you make all the raw materials?

God I knew I shouldn't have started this genre with this game :O

Why did you re-list it for less than you bought it for?
