general help: the stock market

On cosmic Rage, we've put our own variation on todays stock market.
As it stands in todays society, you can buy a share in a company.
When, or if, the company makes profit and gives you a dividends, this money is awarded based on amount of shares owned.
So, for example, if a business has 100,000 and you have 2 percent of the shares in the company, you would receive 2000.
On Cosmic Rage, we've simplified this a little.
You still can buy shares in a business, but instead of buying a percent, you simply invest.
How it works:
Business's, such as peoples factories, or made up ones that we, the hosts, have set up, are listed in the stock listing.
You invest into the stocks of that business.
There is also a charge to invest, separate from the investment itself.
Every 24 hours, based on how much profit/loss that business has made, a percentage change is calculated.
This percentage change then effects the money you have invested in the business.
Lets put this into an understandable example, and give you some commands.
The most important command is stocks. Stocks will just jump you straight to the stocks menu, though like with other commands, you can also reach it via your informational computers.
Once in the stock menu, you have the following options:
[1] buy shares in a company. This is where we will invest, see the next section.
[2] register your company. This is the menu item you would use if you are in your factory and want to put it on the stock market.
[3] cash in your shares. This is the item you would use if you want to get the cash back that you have invested in a company.
[4] view all company shares. Before investing, it is often good to look at what companies shares are the cheapest and what are the most effective. this is the menu item for that.

Example investment:
Bob uses menu item 1, and pays 15 million credits to invest in Stargate productions.
The cost of investing in that company is 1 million credits, so in total, he has now got 14 million credits worth of shares in the business.
When the calculations run around, it appears Stargate Productions have made a 20 percent profit.
this now raises how much it would be for another person to invest in Stargate Productions, however it also means Bob now has 16,800,000 credits invested in Stargate Productions. Bob could now cash in those stocks, leaving him 1.8 million credits in profit, or he could leave them in their in the hopes of gaining more.
this is the stock market.
Note: From a mechanics perspective, there is a large element of randomness to how stocks work. This is because ICly, much more happens on factories and in companies than what the actual coded mechanics handle.
The more profit your factory makes, the more valuable your stocks become.
