Suggestion: Allow for stocks to give dividends, remove the clause in the competition requirements, specifically the part which says if you sell your stock you lose your profit margin, and in doing so, remove your self from the competition. Finally, combine the same stocks made in different purchases on your personal portfolio page.

Reason: Suggestion #1
Well, the real life stock exchange gives dividends, and this new feature is supposed to add legitimate, safe ways to invest on ECC. Since Stock markets have been tried by users before this and failed. Now this is a great addition yet it should provide dividends and should be deposited into your bank. It should just be added to make the stock system more real. I dont even see a reason why this cant be applied because of a sense of beliefs or fundamentals. I currently dont know the forum storage or ram limits but I assume that wont be a problem...

Suggestion #2
One user cannot control the stock market, I know that the sportsbook and lotto is supposed to be gambling traditionally but the stock market has been known for techniques that lower risk of the loss of profit. Because of the fact that one person cannot control the stock market, and selling your stock makes you disqualified from the competition makes the stock feature more of a gambling feature then an actual stock market feature, stocks fluctuate daily, and even if you pick a blue chip stock(perfect stock) there will be a point when it falls. If this ECC policy remains, it will make the stock feature at least on the competition side, a gamble, on when your stock falls, no matter how good it is. A single stock never goes up always.

Suggestion #3
Some techniques of stock investing are "buy low, sell high", while this may not be a consensus technique, ECC should not prevent reasonable techniques from being implented, with in reason of course. If I wanted to buy more stock because it is down while I already own some, you can simply combine them and do the math to calculate profit margin. This would make the personal portfolio page so much easier to read and easier to use. I dont think the user should have to have to add up the shares if they have multiple purchases and or combine losses or gain manually. I think for most people on ECC, they just want to make money, and hit and miss with stocks. This combination of stocks will increase user usability and make it a lot less confusing then stocks already are for many beginners.

Any Other Information: If you need any explanation on anything please pm me or ask below. I just wanted to quickly write this up before I forgot the suggestions, so some of it may be misunderstood.

Link To This Plugin: HTML coding or Xenforo, I dont know much about Xenforo but from what ive heard, its pretty good so maybe check out that to implement. I dont see any problem with implementation of these suggestions in terms of impossible, just maybe not urgent for KHobbits to do and or lots of programming.

 

I dont know if I can bump in this section of the forums, but there is nothing that says otherwise so... Bump!

 

Bump.
