How do shares keep going up?

Funny thing is I thought about the same thing while in bed a few nights ago, and then I decided, this game is inspired by that awesome game called Capitalism Plus... so we might as well just stay loyal to it until maybe v0.80 (Share price eventually went from $100 to over $100k even after I personally owned all shares of my company in that game)

Since I can't issue more shares my stock will be rock solid at a certain price since there are no more shares to purchase.

Say my stock is 22.50 and I have a million shares. I can put in an ask of 22.75 for 100k shares. If someone wants to pay me that then my stock goes up because obviously they like my financials. Alternately, someone may put in a bid of 22.25 and if I get in a crunch and need money, I will sell to them, lowering price.

Also split isn't a problem, but the thing that got me stumped is reverse split, I tried to do a bit of search and still wasn't be able to find a clear answer on how to implement this: Suppose if you had 95 shares and $0, and there is a 1:10 RS, will you be left with 9 shares and some money, or 10 shares and some margin? One source mentions you'll be left with 9, and some cash from the sales of that fraction of a share. Another says a company can have a policy that states no one will have less than 100 shares after a RS, and therefore you'll end up with 100 shares, but of course you'll need to pay for the extra 90.5 shares. A third says simply round up any factions, and no payment is required.

Don't make the sell affect share price.

This is my best game ever. Im very glad that Cap is your inspiration becorse then i know you have set your goals high. The game as it is, is allready very good, so cant wait to see what it ends out to become.

Don't you just drool at the possibility of a MMO version of Cap Plus?

There are businesses that use reverse splits to buy out small investors. Let's assume a $10 share prices and if they want to buy everyone out who has less than $10k invested they'll do a 1:1000 RS. Sometimes they also do odd numbered reverse splits, like 1:999, to buy people out.

IRL I have a couple companies where I own x.342 (etc) shares because of dividend reinvestment. Neither I, the brokerage firm, nor the company care...
