I think the global stock market is somewhat unbalanced. I found that it is easily to make huge amount of money there. And the global company's market cap seems to become larger and larger forever which worths trillions of trillions dollars...

Thanks.
What do you mean by make huge money? 5%-12% or 20%+ return per year? Some of the Companies should go bankrupt or lose some value (recovering or not) from time to time possibly being replaced. If you Let the game run long enough the market should definitely get bigger at the same time money should be worth less and less with inflation.

If the game has run for 50+ years then maybe the dollar value of everything should have a reverse split of 2-1 or 10-1 so that $1 Trillion becomes ~$100 billion-$500 billion so the numbers are easier to work with.

The dev team is currently working on improving the global stock market. In the next update, movements in stock prices will be more reasonable.

When i ran out of cash it would only let me issue another one and not sell any.

We will add the option of selling bonds on the Out of Cash window in the next update.

I've noted an issue. My company will show on its balance sheet bonds as liabilities even though my company has no bonds outstanding.

Hi Arcnor,

We will investigate the problem.

Could you please provide us with your save game file and let us know the following?
1) Which version of Capitalism Lab you are using. You can see the version number on the top-right of the main menu.
2) The exact steps for triggering the bug with the save game
3) If your savegame uses a MOD, please let us know the name of the MOD and the MOD's version number.

You can find save game files of Capitalism Lab from:
C:\Users\<your user name>\Documents\My Games\Capitalism Lab Post-Release Beta\SAVE

You may provide us with your save game file by posting it here on the forum as a ZIP file attachment or emailing the save game file to us at info@enlight.com.

If your save game file is too large for attachment, you may check out this post about how to send us large files: https://www.enlight.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=2473

I'll see if I can recreate the bug. I lost my saved game, so I'll have to see if it happens again.
