Do you know Wall Street Raider?
It is a stock market simulation where you play as an investor. A trial version is available if you want to try it out.
Backed by reality, there are loads of ideas to get inspired by, in order to improve Capitalism Lab stock trading, which was fine as part of Captialism II but can now appear too limited.
One of the most frustrating thing to me about Capitalism Lab stock market is the inability to move ownership around.

- I do not know where the so-called SEC limitation preventing you to use a company you control to buy back its shares comes from. Is this a thing or a hacky way to close loopholes?

- There is no way to actually transfer shares around, from/to parent company (I suppose direct exchange in-between subsidiaries is not a thing as everything has to go through the common link: the parent company)
- There is no way (that I know of?) of merging 2 more-than-75%-owned subsidiaries unless having one more than 75% shares of the other. The parent company should be able to drive a subsidiary to absorb another, provided some conditions are met (maybe would it be legally mandatory to have 100% ownership over a subsidiary before being able to trigger such mechanism with it?).
