Superstocks

[StockTrader]

OK, I'd love to get started on some code for this idea, but I'm not sure I get the gist of it ... anyone care to help me out?

The bita and pieces that I've read might lend themselves to an IPO with a higher maximum shares limit and a conversion from the current holdings when a million share max splitter splits again. I understand the theory to be a new superstock and a reset of the old stock to $20. Is that the likely plan? If so, I am not sure what advance programming could be done. I would prefer an actual purchase to aid those active players (you would actively have to buy the superstock instead of having your buy and hold automatically transfer over). I understand moo would be very small on these stocks. Don't know if I'm in the loop of something else happening or not...

i know it's but wouldn't specialty stocks, team stocks, and mfs be less programming than inventing a whole new concept in the short term?

I have to agree assuming the programming is easier. I live for mutual funds!!!

As I recall....Superstocks were going to be mega blocks of one stock...that would divi on a weekly...or even a monthly basis.....that was one idea....then there was the Mutual Fund and specialty fund talk...any or all of which would be a good thing to use up some cash. Current team stocks in the NFL sector have been pretty bland return wise.....Im sure that im way out in left field on this one...but I would love to see NCAA hoops and football team stocks added....That IMHO adds a new dimension to the game....keep it simple...factor in wins, losses, yards for and against...or points....and turn em loose.....but then the data entry would be a nightmare...and a new sector would have to added on the market page....proly not doable.....Another thing that could be fun is to have our own weekly J$ top 20 poll....allow each member to vote weekly from the top 30 teams as listed...that could be fun...just some ideas.....
