_Why should my corporation buy back its own shares?_
When your corporation buys back its own shares, those shares are
taken out of circulation. The total number of shares is reduced and
the ownership percentage of the existing shareholders increases.
This action can strengthen the ownership of existing shareholders
in the corporation and reduce the risk of a hostile takeover.
Buying back your corporation's own shares also has a positive
effect on the earnings per share, which in turn has a positive
effect on the stock price. If a company buys back half its shares
and its overall earnings stay the same, the earnings per share
double.
_I am doing well in stocks, what should I do next?_
If you have gone through all the instructional games, you are
ready to play a real game. Press [ESC] and select "Quit" to go
back to the main menu.
In the main menu, you can select "Start a New Game" for a new
game or "Play a Scenario" for a scenario game. In a scenario
game, you must achieve a specific set of goals in a given amount
of time to win the game.
As a beginner, if you want to play a new game, we recommend you
to set the difficulty level to "Very Easy". If you want to try a
scenario, we recommend you to start with the "Entrepreneur
Spirit". Good Luck.
