Create the following rule:
{{
__B Nomic Stock Exchange__

A.
There are five stocks of B Nomic:
1. Nonconsolidated Meringue
2. Ocelot Livers, Inc.
3. Mostly Empty Space Enterprises
4. Interplanetary Underwriters
5. Cauchy's Revenge

B.
Any player can purchase any number of shares of any of these stocks that e
has money for by announcing e is doing so in a public forum and paying
the price to the Bank. The initial price for each share is 10 BNS.

C.
At the beginning of each nweek, (1d5)-3 BNS is added to the price of each
stock, with a different roll for each stock. If this results in any
stock's price being 0 BNS or less, that company goes Bankrupt, all players
who have shares in that company lose them, and the price of the stock is
reset to 10 BNS. [[A new company has appeared on the stock market]]

D.
Any player can sell any number of shares that e owns in any of the stocks
by announcing that e is doing so in a public forum. E loses the stocks e
is selling and receives the sum of their prices in BNS.

-A good start, but it lacks complexity. A player buying stock would raise a real stock's price, and selling lowers. This should be represented somehow, and there should be boom-and-bust cycles, like in the real stock market.-
