I was just browsing through the Stock exchange trying to pick a stock when I realized you can only purchase 5 shares. Now I was ready to spend the Money I had on hand to buy me a lot of shares. Imagine my disapointment when I found that 5 was the limit. Or was that just me? Or only for my rank? But either way it pans out I ddont think that there should be a Limit on how many shares o can purchase. I think it should be based on how much that person is willing to buy and how much they can afford. Doing this would add a little more realism to this Thing Of Ours don't you think. Anyway let me know what you think. Please Feel free to respond with comments and insults and whatever thoughts that may cross your mind. 

Fulmineo, 5 is the limit per business (Up to 50 shares) total. Partly, the reason being is so that everyone may have a chance at owning some stock in a single business. Which equates to only 20 people @ 5 ea. So if you consider fairness at all, It works. If Joe_Don buys up all 50shares of his own business, well...That only leaves less for others and kind of takes away from the idea.
Given the amount of turnover and successful (active) businesses in operation at a given time, I think it is pretty fair as we are now starting to see some with 0 available.

I see your point but I thought It would be more realistic. I may be an Idiot but is there a limit on how many share in real life?

No, and your not an idiot at all for the idea, I am just exlaining reason's for a cap. There is a certain balance admin is trying to keep. Especially when it comes to the money aspect. I doubt they will be willing to make it unlimited. Also, I would be leary in buying that much as some life spans aren't long around here. :)

True. True. Maybe at least raise. I mean 5? What Can I do with 5 shares?

An increase in shares would be a great addition. With a five share limit, you can't really gain that many profits.

Thats why I suggested no Limits. It would increase the Profit. But apparently It wouldn't be Fair. Oh well.

Well if the Stock Market was still in operation I would love to see this Suggestion added to the game. I remember being extremely frustrated with the 5 stocks limit

whatever happened to the MRSE anyway?

I'd personally love to see the return of the MRSE as it'd be a fantastic complement with the tipping feature available right now.  I'm not sure why the MRSE was removed in the first place, but with the steps taken over the last few months that have chipped away at our income (player owned casinos, dice fee, small reduction in drug prices, plans for OCs to be district based, etc) I think it'd be a welcome return to encourage post activity in our respective cities.

It would be a very interesting aspect to say the least.
