	Private Stock Exchanges play a significant role in the economy! ~~In fact, most of the server's economy is located within~~ The Exchange~~.<span id="what~~-~~are-shares"></span>~~		Private [[Stock Exchange\|Stock Exchanges]] play a significant role in the economy! Stocks are currently traded on [[The Stock Exchange]], a privately-owned company.
	~~== What are Private Stock Exchanges? ==~~
	Stock Exchanges are where financial securities are traded. Financial securities are tradable financial assets such as '''bonds, shares and derivatives'''. While investing in securities offers the potential for great returns, it also carries '''varying levels of risk'''. ~~As far as risk goes:~~

	* Bonds are least risky and offer the least return and loss.		== What Are Shares? ==
	* Shares are ~~moderately risky and can offer moderate returns and losses~~.		Shares are units of ownership within a company. By buying a share from a company, you are becoming an investor and a partial owner. If the value of that company increases, so does your share.
	* Derivatives are ~~very risky~~ and ~~can offer huge returns and losses~~.

	~~To spread~~ the ~~risk~~ of ~~investments, investors should look to '''diversity their portfolio''' by investing in multiple companies~~ and ~~industries~~.		When it comes to trading shares, as a player, the principle of buy low and sell high is most commonly applied. Players will often try to invest into companies when the share price is low, and then sell when it rises.
	Players ~~can~~ invest ~~in private stock exchanges by joining their Discord servers, however~~, ~~the procedure for buying and selling stocks may vary. Keep in mind:~~
	* Rules and ~~regulations for exchanges may vary.~~
	* Your investments aren't always guarunteed if the company ceases to exist.
	* You may not be able to sell ~~your shares and realise your gains.~~
	* Transfer and transaction fees may vary between exchanges.

	~~If you would like~~ to ~~get involved~~, ~~there is currently~~ one private stock exchange on the ~~server:~~		Selling shares to players allows companies to grow and develop new industries. For example, if one company wants to franchise new stores in multiple towns but doesn’t have the funds, they may choose to list themselves on a private stock exchange in order to gain money to expand. From there, the company can utilize the invested money from stocks into purchasing new store space. This expansion of the company leads to the company becoming more valuable - and thus the shares becoming more valuable as well.

	~~Players can invest in private stock exchanges by joining their Discord servers~~. The ~~procedures for buying~~ and ~~selling stocks may vary~~. ~~Keep in mind~~:		== What are Bonds? ==
			A bond is a (generally) fixed-income form of security and the "safest" form of investment. Essentially, through purchasing bonds, investors lend money to companies and governments (issuers) for a specified interest rate and period. The issuer then pays back the investor through interest (coupons) and a large payment (face value) at the end of the period (maturity). Key characteristics to look for when evaluating a bond are:

	::* ~~Rules~~ and ~~regulations for stock markets may vary~~.		* '''Face Value/Par Value:''' The value of the payment at maturity, and the value used when calculating coupons.
			* '''Coupon Rate/Interest Rate:''' The rate of interest the issue will pay on the face value. On DC, this is generally a monthly percentage.
			* '''Coupon Dates/Interest Frequency:''' How often the coupons will be paid.
			* '''Maturity Dates:''' The date at which the bond will mature and the issuer will pay the investor the face value.
			* '''Issue Price:''' The price at which the issuer originally sells the bond at.

	~~::* Your investment isn’t guaranteed a return~~ if the ~~company ceases~~ to ~~exist~~.		Bonds can be bought and sold after issue between investors (secondary market). It is important to note the market value of these on the secondary market may not be the same as the issue price, particularly if some coupons have been paid, or the bond is close to maturity.

	~~::* Selling shares~~ back to the ~~exchange may not always be possible~~.		Other factors to consider is the creditwortiness of the company. i.e can it pay back the bond.

	~~Additionally~~, ~~some private stock exchanges may impose transfer fees or activity limits~~.		* If a company has an assigned credit score, evaluate this against the coupon rate.
			* While companies and governments can both issue bonds, government bonds carry reasonably less risk.
