The idea of the game is to trade stocks: buying, selling and selling short so profitably that one becomes the richest trader and the winner. A player is chosen to 'function' as the Stockbroker. The Market is opened with the turning up of the top Ticker Tape, then unlimited trading in lots of 100 shares may begin. News Cards affect stock prices up and down. A Record is kept of every trade and each change in price. A Market Closing Time is set, at which time all trading stops. Players and Broker settle up at the last price on the record. The game is one of fun, excitement, skill, and educational value.
