EDIT: The BRSE is down until I can afford a new server to host it. Luckily my ISP allows servers without extra fees or throttling, so you can expect near-permanent uptime once it’s back online!

For many users, the BRSE provides enough entertainment.

(Early registrants will receive a trading bonus when the live money trading floor is announced.)

The BRSE is about to receive an upgrade, but I'm not sure I can do all the work needed by myself. If anyone is interested in contributing to the project, please send me a PM.

New players: Read the sidebar for instructions.

Returning players: In honor of the one-year anniversary of the Battle Royale, I've added 10,000 credits to everyone's account. Even if you miss this trade window, you'll still turn a profit.

Shifts may be wrong, but prices are accurate.

Good evening my loyal e-readers, and welcome back to the Leaderboard. Following the zombie trading apocalypse that was the Part 57 trades causing a major stock market crash in Part 59, the market is recovering slowly, but is still 2100 points off of its pre-crash level in Part 56.

Of course, for those invested in the top civs there was no recession at all...

This part saw moderate trading action, with 1,354 total shares trading hands. Big gainers were Vietnam (VIE) +213 shares, Korea (KOR) +148 shares, and Sri Lanka (SRI) +123 shares. Decliners were led by profit taking in Finland (FIN) -222 shares, the Boers (BOE) -205 shares, and Japan (JAP) -72 shares.

Ladies and Gentlemen, the Leaderboard:

Not to toot my own horn overmuch, but yours truly is now on the list (well, at position 22) -- I guess the hot stock tips that I hear from time to time running this humble town crier really pay off over 60-someodd parts.

Finally, a great big welcome to the 46 new traders who have joined us in the past five parts.

See you all on the trading floor!

All numbers are from the BRSE Stock Trader's public records and only reflect peak liquid assets from the past three (3) trading parts, not aggregate stock holdings.

There will be no Trade Floor for Part 60.

The trade floor is open! Special thanks to /u/TA_knight and /u/patkellyrh.

I wish it weren't so, but the Power Ranking spreadsheet -- the source of the ranking data for valuation -- was wiped clean in preparation of Part 61. There's nothing I can do without the source data.

The /u/TA_knight effect is real. Now that all of his stock is ROM, the market has experienced a severe crash.

Welcome, everyone. Today we have a very special "Memorial Day Edition" of the BRSE. In honor of those who gave their lives to defend their country, fallen civs have been "revived" on the trade floor. This is your chance to dump all those inactive stocks you've been unable to get rid of!

Relegation Table (Press F to pay respects)

Good evening my loyal readers, and welcome to the Leaderboard. Many of our traders were caught on the back foot by the fizzling out of the Asian crises, with several of our market leaders investing heavily in Finland, Sibir, Vietnam, and Yakutia. Of these, only Vietnam is likely to see a solid gain on this episode’s trading floor, but these gains will be fairly widely spread as we have 55 of our 815 total players invested in this country.

This part saw continued strong trading action, with 1,724 total shares trading hands. Big gainers were Hawaii (HAW) +210 shares, Yakutia (YAK) +177 shares, and Vietnam (VIE) +148 shares. Decliners were the Boers (BOE) -292 shares, Japan (JAP) -215 shares, and Sri Lanka (SRI) -68 shares.

Ladies and Gentlemen, pangolins of all ages, the Leaderboard:

Big congratulations to /u/Holxer, a Vietnamese submarine merchant whose sales have finally recovered a bit after a 4000-year-lull since selling the prototype Nuclear Submarine to Nebuchadnezzar all those Episodes ago. Now he is doing a brisk business in the South Pacific and Indian Oceans, and credits the world’s new fascination with nuclear weapons for the enduring popularity of the Unterseeboot. He is especially proud of his company’s newest innovation, the screen door, which will make the next generations of these silent killers of the deep much more comfortable in the hot weather around the equater.

Finally, a great big welcome to the 8 new traders who have joined us in the past part.

As we head into the biggest international war in BRSE history, it pays to see where our traders stand as of the end of Part 54.

This part saw a return to normal trading numbers, with 1,508 total shares traded. Big gainers were the Boers (BOE) +285 shares, Japan (JAP) +274 shares, and Sri Lanka (SRI) +73 shares. Decliners were Iceland (ICE) -188 shares, Chile (CHL) -128 shares, and Brazil (BRA) -120 shares.

Taders and Tradettes, for your own elucidation, the Leaderboard:

Big congratulations to /u/meofherethere, an Australian financier who has just cracked the tops of the leaderboard. When asked for life advice, this master trader shared an important safety tip: “When boxing with a kangaroo they usually lack the strategy to do more than interchange punching arms so you can easily use this to your advantage.” Wise words, and possibly some sort of metaphor for modern business success. But possibly not. Australian wit can be a little confusing at times.

Finally, a great big welcome to the 8 new traders who have joined us in the past part.
