Studious Damon Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 I was thinking of making a stock brockering site, like J.P. Morgan Chase or Goldenmansachs but in tf2. Basically you invest in a company and get a share of their profits, in addition you have a share of political power proportionate to the amount you invested. Let's look at an example to get a better understanding. Let's take a successful company for starters, scrap.tf. You invest say $100 and their total value is $10,000. You have 1/100 vote power. You also could, if scrap.tf sells a lot of stocks (or voting power) and drive up the prices, sell it for $150. That way your investment always makes sense and you don't need to be involved with the company at all. The fact that you can sell the stocks for $150 doesn't mean that you have 15/1000 voting power, their value increased too! I would charge some sum, I haven't figured if it should be a flat rate or go up with the amount you charged. I also haven't figured out if this would even work. So I want feedback, is this something you guys could get into or if my plan is solid? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Дебра Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 But scrap.tf doesn't need to sell stocks to exist. They got all the money they need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Studious Damon Posted August 27, 2015 Author Share Posted August 27, 2015 But scrap.tf doesn't need to sell stocks to exist. They got all the money they need. That was an example. I'm thinking it would mostly benefit small companies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ezpz to just run True, but same goes with marketplace.tf and other sites where you trust your money to some site in order to receive goods. I assume I would need famous people to make it more trustworthy (jessecar, geel, sneeza, brad pitt) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 'businesses' that you can invest in are valve games, basically your paying valve so they can pay to support valve and at the same time because of the fees, valve. My site will help with innovative ideas (I'll just throw this in even though it isn't original) like sweetstakes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
funkle Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 Stocks are technically a partial ownership of the company, so I doubt you could do that for a video game trading website. Plus, the company needs to produce the stocks and sell them to the buyers, it's not an unlimited supply. Not sure how documentation and proof of ownership would work with this. These people seem to get upset when they find that they lost a simple strange item or some shit, I dont even want to know what would happen when someone loses the rights to a "stock" on these websites. Especially if it goes up in value a lot, I can see people trying to claim they owned it when they actually didnt. Really, really doubt it would work.
