Space Stock Market

[Frank_Stein]

We did have a big thread about how merchants, the stock market, and QM should all be interrelated before

Some highlights, if my memory is accurate

• Qm market replaced entirely with merchants
  
• Merchants goods fall into one or two categories
  
• Some overlapping goods mean going to different traders for the best deals in buying and selling
  
• Different traders would belong to a larger merchant group/corporation/syndicate
  
• These larger trading groups would have stock options
  
• Stocks rise and fall depending on how well these merchants groups are doing businesswise and random events like droughts, wars, recessions, etc that would affect their supply and demand
  
• The Station traders would have to manage relations with individual traders as well as their group
