NationStates Jolt Archive

We are looking for IPO's and I will steer a NationStates Stock Exchange for everyone. You can post company news and make investments here.


Shangola- Softdrinks- $34.5- Up 1.5 dollars
PIAST- Automobiles- $2.00- Up 1 dollar
Foe Hammer Weapons- $51.00- Unchanged
Foe Hammer Shipyards- $59.00- open, change due to share repurchase
MSNBC- $39.00- Unchanged
NBC- $51.34- Up .34

We presume IPOs can be made for companies which are already public on a national exchange?

I am interested in becoming involved in this, but must admit that I am totaly green. Could you post a faq, or something? I really wouldn't know how to go about getting involved, and I'm sure there are other players who would like to participate that have the same problem.

You are right.

Well there are many ways of getting involved. You could post your nation's company and a share price for the IPO. And I'd put it on. And you could also join my financial company that presides over the market and decides what the companies prices will do.

I offer an IPO of Shangola stocks starting at 2 dollars per share.
Shangola is the number one softdrink in the San Gabriel Valley.

In SGV, Shangola shares cost 34 dollars a peice, but we offering special discount for this week only.

Alright I'll put it up.

Goddamnit, I'm tired of all these Stock Exchange companies. I have a solution.

There can always be more than one exchange to list stocks okay Foe.

AMEX
NYSE

Look at those real ones. I'm not trying to replace it.

An IPO is an Initial Public Offering. It's when you take a company public. And you make up the share price of your company based on what you think people would pay for it. It's up to you as the owner. If you make it really high, it may go down fast or stay there. If you make it low it will have more capacity to increase but may bankrupt as well and it will be more risky. So pick a medium price I'd suggest.

Well when every goof and his cousin is starting a stock exchange, it gets kind of annoying.

Yes, Foe Hammer Weapons and Foe Hammer Shipyards
You may work the prices, but keep them above $50 for each company.

NBC shares going for $54.643* per share.
MSNBC shares going for $52.432* per share.

*I know this may seem a little excessive, but NBC is the number one television station and MSNBC is the number one news station.

NBC would like to invest $10 in Shangola and $5 in PIAST.

Jagiellonia will buy 100 NBC shares (will someone be keeping track of this?).

Nanakaland would like to buy 150 shares in both NBC and MSNBC.

MSNBC would like to invest $10 in Shangola and $5 in PIAST.

Alright trades executed.

I'm buying 1 million shares of Shangola while I can because I think it will surge tomorrow.

I wish to purchase 2 million shares of Shangola.

President Michael J. Smith of Nanakaland bought 750 shares in NBC and MSNBC. He had a feeling that they'd go up - mainly because they're the biggest companies on the list.

I wish to purchase 2 million shares of Shangola.

Alright. Just to tell everyone there are only one more million shares of Shangola outstanding.

*Buys them up.*

It's not closed yet.

The Foe Hammer Government would like to purchase 4 million shares of Foe Hammer Shipyards, which is independantly owned, BTW.

$184,000,000 has been wired to Foe Hammer Shipyards.

Alright were open again.

Dangit the stocks are gonna start to tumble if there isn't any trading.

NBC executives buy one million shares in Foe Hammer Weapons.

A rich Nanakan buisnessman buys 2 million shares in both NBC and MSNBC.

A richer man buys 5 million shares. Haha.

BUMP.
