This add-on gives you the ability to use the credit system to "invest" in stock. You can purchase and sell stock at market values. This plugin uses a stock feed from Yahoo to get real time stock quotes.
This hack does not give you a list of stocks to purchase. You have to know the stock symbol ahead of time by using http://finance.google.com/finance or something like it. You can also use the search and it will come up with the stock symbol too. Say you want to look up AT&T stocks, type in att and click search, it will come up with this: AT (NYSE:ATT) the bold part is the symbol, so you would put ATT in the symbol and then how many you would like to purchase and then click "preview purchase" this will list all the info and if you still want it, then click "purchase"
-Only US stocks can be traded!
-there is a 1% commission charge to all bought and sold stocks.
- Right now there is no time limit on holding the stocks before selling. In the future this will change to a day or 2 before you can trade.
-There is a 5% capitol gains tax on all profits from sold stocks.
The ticker is real time so each time you look up a stock the price you see is what it really is in real life. No you do not make real money with this lol. but this is another way to make a ton of credits.
if you have any questions post them here!
(this is a beta version so i'm expecting a few errors here and there.)
Enjoy!
