Wall Street Raider [CRACKED] Full Version

Other new features include price alerts you can set, for the spot price ofgold, silver, crude oil, wheat, silver, or cryptocurrencies, plus rate alertsfor when an interest rate or the economic growth rate (GDP) reaches a level you specify. See the Wall Street Raider UPDATESpage for more on the above changes and other new features in the Version 9.75release.Version 9.50, released in January, 2021, added detailed 3-month cash flow projections for corporations and diagnostic warnings for companies you control that are expected toincur a cash flow crunch (no more cash, no more line of credit) in the next 3 months. Among other major improvements, Version 9.0 added 5 new Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs), two of which are triple-leveraged (3X) Stock Index funds, one for going \"long\" on the Stock Index and one for shorting it. The other 3 new ETFs are bond funds: a government bond fund, an investment-grade corporate bond fund, and a corporate \"junk bond\" fund. The simulation now includes these 5 new ETFs plus the 15 \"sector ETFs\" that were added to the program way back in 2012. Other features added in v. 9.50 include a very rarely occurring but always devastating \"pandemic scenario\" and an improvement in the database search module that allows you to search for stocks in a single industry that meet your screening criteria. Bank financing rules have been liberalized, to give companies larger lines of credit -- in short, giving them a better chance to get into deep financial trouble.Recent versions 8.00 and later allow you to invest in convertible bonds or haveyour companies issue convertible bonds, plus introducing other new features suchas being able to manage exchange-traded investment funds (ETFs) like hedge funds,the ability to reset the default currency exchange rates, and a new stock pricealert feature which will alert you when a stock reaches a price you have specified. Mainly, however, the focus in Versions 8.xx was on INCREASED REALISM, especially with regard to trading derivatives (options, futures, and interest rate swaps).Other features added in upgrade releases in recent years have included: Bitcoin and Ethereum cryptocurrencies, or futures trading on each, as wildlyfluctuating new speculations you can dabble inbuilt-in inflation in \"inflation hedges\" such as gold, silver, Bitcoin, and Ethereuma new feature that lets you repeal (turn off) antitrust laws, making for amore lawless economic environment, facilitating monopoliesthe ability to set asset allocation percentages for variousasset classes, for any bank you control, which the bank will striveto maintain, except in extreme conditions when doing so would befoolhardyshowing, in the list of all your controlled companies, the capitalspending growth rate and R & D or marketing expense as a percentage ofsales for each, and whether or not the company is on \"autopilot\"the option to play against MULTIPLE (up to 4) computer playersan automatic \"sweep\" function you can turn on or off, which will \"sweep\"any cash in a player's bank account to reduce his/her loan balanceone-year cash flow projections for playersperformance rankings of ETFsplayers or their companies can now list stocks or assets for possible sale to other players or companies (or buy items offered by other players or companies that are \"listed\" as being for sale)it is possible now to \"look under the hood\" at corporate data to see which companies have positions in all of the various types of assets or contracts (such as interest rate swaps, futures, options, subsidiary holdings, etc.)ability to put companies you control on \"autopilot\" (self-managed -- by the program), when your corporate empire grows to include more companies than you can effectively manage yourself, while the \"autopiloted\" companieswill ask your permission before doing certain major transactions like stockpurchases or issuancesstock index futures tradinginvestment management contracts for financial companies that manage ETF's5-year charts for the stocks of each of the 1590 activated companies in the simulation, and for commodities, interest rates, GDP growth rate, the Stock Index, and the player's net worthinterest rate swaps (derivatives -- \"bets\" on future interest rates)that you negotiate have been added as another tool for hedging or speculationcommodity futures trading was added on oil, metals and grains, plus hedging of those commodities by companies that use or produce them; plus futures trading on the Stock Index, in addition to buying and storing of physical commodities forplayers and all companies except banks and insurersa player can be awarded executive stock options after becoming CEO of a company, and CEO bonuses are now more closely correlated to company earnings performance; and short-selling of stocks and ETFs and highly realistic put and call options tradingon all publicly traded stocks and ETFs.(Some of the above features are not enabled in the free version.)For update information and a detailed description of new features in recent versions, click here.NEW STOCK TRADING GAME!Traders and speculators, take note: In 2016, we introduced Speculator: The Stock Trading Simulation, a \"spin-off\" from Wall Street Raider, utilizing the W$R \"engine\" as the trading background, but where you are not a billionaire who can influence or manipulate stock prices, but merely a small, middle-class investor who starts out with a mere $100,000 inheritance to invest or speculate with.

One of the unexpected by important side effects of playing this simulation, besides the entertainment value, will be a seat-of-the-pants educational experience about how markets, corporate finance, economics, and taxes work, and learning such practical skills as understanding and deciphering balance sheets and earnings reports.(Many long-term players of this game, some of whom began in their early teens, tell usthat they have parlayed what they learned into very lucrative careers in investmentmanagement and corporate finance.
