	~~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.
