Stock Market sucks!!!

[GoGoGirly]

Is there any option to stop the stock market again after once started?

Every 5 Minutes (!!!!) opponents start auctions on my shares and I need to spend lots of money to keep them or to buy them back afterwards.

Not only that it costs lots of money, but the most annoying ist that meanwhile that is the main part of the game and its not very funny :-(.

Any hint how to stop this?

Thanks for any answer!

Not sure if you can 'take it off the market' just like that. This is the reason why I never bother with the online section apart from the material exchange.

The game makes an automatic save from the time just before you started the share market. It's named YourCorporation_SM
You can restart from there if you don't like it.

u can stop any auction (not only on your shares) using 15 influence points ... and never ever join stock market unless your money ballance is ... i would say 100.000+

thanks for the answers, i'll do the best of it :-)

Since you've already got it going i suggest you look who has the least amount of owned shares in his own corporation. Try to work those out. The moment one loses all his own shares either to you or other Ai he's gone. The more AI is gone the less bids will happen. Remember to keep 15-30 influence points saved just to stop auctions on your own shares. Hope it helps.

The trick to the stock market is to not start it immediately after gaining access to it. Establish a fairly high credit balance/ company level (around 50k credit and 20 corp level). The credit balance will help you recover credits after a stock purchase while the company level will help you have a larger bankroll to enforce your authority. Make sure to have 15 influence so you can use the "Anti-trust investigation" power if they try to buy your stocks. If you get over 30-40 then you can start doing some fancy things like charge 15% tax on a stock purchase (this is great for when they are fighting each other and you can't afford the stock.) Finally, look out for quests that give you influence points and grab them up. You can never have enough influence on hand for the times when the AI gets aggressive or if you are going to be busy doing logistic design and don't want to be bothered with problems in the middle of it.

Also if you have to lose a share try to make it one that isn't your companies share (IE: if you are down to 15 influence) even if you lose the other corp's share you'll also get the money that was spent on it and it's better to lose a rival's stock than your own.

Dude, game warns you that StockMarket is for big boys and you wont be able to cancel it once its enabled :)

If you are able to buy all the shares of all other corporations, it will give you a significant boost/bonus in many different areas. But it takes a bit of financial management and strategy to buy out all the stocks

nah stock market isnt for big boys. also on hardest mode its possible to start the market at level 10 without problems.

most vital is to have at least 30 influense points in reserve, so you can stop auctions for your own shares.

you can do quests for getting influence points more quickly.

first buy your own shares.

then get 5 agents in each company with low security.
so you can rob them if you need money and reduce their influence.

also you can invest influence points in an auction, that the other companies dont bid so high.
