Changes in the exchange:
- In the stock exchange, when you hover over "+" or "-", you can now see the price of the stock at which you last bought it;
- Restrictions on trading on the stock exchange have been introduced: you won't be able to buy 100% of the shares of all companies as easily as you want, because not all of their owners want to sell them;
- Now your purchase of shares has a more active impact on their price and the market as a whole;
- Two new difficulty settings: the speed of time on the stock exchange and the presence of the FSA (State Financial Regulator)
- FSA: If you quickly sell and buy shares on the stock exchange, shaking up the market, the FSA may issue you a warning or sue you.
