About the game
"BOLSA" simulates the functioning of the stock exchange in the perspective of small investors. Throughout the year (each month = 1 round) players will have to invest or disinvest in stock in order to maximize their profit. They can choose between 6 companies, from all sectors of activity and with 3 different profiles - high risk, medium risk and low risk. As in the real stock exchange, quotations of each company are driven by 3 factors: - the selling and buying orders from all players, which will bring quotation down or up - the market trends, simulated by dice casted at the beginning of each month but with effect only at quarter end - the always breakthrough company news from "Jornal Finanças & Bolsa", released at month end and that may impact one or more, or even all companies. Each player will have 30 secs to plan it's moves in total secrecy and only then all players reveal their intentions. At the end of the year you will receive yearend bonus only for the stock you have kept in your hand. All stocks are then converted to cash and let's count the money. The richest player wins the game
