Payment card outage at Lucky Penny Savings hits the Cinema

LUCK

LUCK tumbled 9.6% on heavy volume on the Pixel Stock Exchange after its payment card broke down for hours.

"We will come back stronger," Bea Ellery, the company's chief financial officer, said.

• 120 companies on two exchanges: the Pixel Stock Exchange and PIXDAQ (tech, games, media and health). New companies list when others go bust or are bought.
• Trading hours: 6:30 AM to 9:00 PM your time, every day, closed on New Year's Day, the Fourth of July, Thanksgiving and Christmas. News keeps coming overnight, so prices can jump at the opening bell.
• Indexes: the ZD 100 (the 100 biggest companies, weighted by size like the S&P 500), the PIXDAQ Composite (every PIXDAQ company), the HIA 30 (30 blue chips, weighted by price like the Dow) and VOLT (the fear gauge: how wild the market is right now).
• Pay with coins, duckets or diamonds. A holding stays in the money you bought it with and is sold back into that money: the market never converts one into another. You can buy part of a share.
• Costs: a small fee on every trade (0.50%, half during a Party Hour) on top of the gap between the buy and sell price, and a 10% hotel tax on profits and dividends.
• Real risk: prices go down as well as up. Earnings surprises, scandals and crashes happen without warning. A company can go bankrupt (its shares become worthless) or be bought out (when the deal goes through you are paid the deal price automatically; deals can also fall apart). Dividends are paid every quarter to whoever owns the shares at the ex-dividend bell; the price drops by the dividend at that moment, as on every real exchange.
• Fair for everyone: prices come from the hotel's random generator and are the same for every player at the same moment. Nobody's trades move a price, so nobody can push one, and nobody (players, staff or the Owner) can see what comes next. Each player has limits per money type and per company, and 60 trades a day.
• Staff never trade. Staff accounts cannot buy or sell at all, and anything a new staff member owned is sold for them automatically. Trading through another account, a friend or family for a staff member counts too, and is watched for.
• Watched and enforced: every trade is logged. The Super Mods act as the market's regulators: they look into extra accounts, scripts and deals with staff, and can freeze trading or ban. Think something is wrong? Tell staff through Support.
