M&A Markets and stock market.

M&A markets should be available in AE4. for those who dont know what M&A is, it's when one company purchases another. The guidelines should be that the purchasing company must pa the company value at a minimum, and no more than 1.5 times the company value; if the company is for sale. I also think that stock markets should be added as well, but I think the company can choose weather or not to be a publicly traded company or a private ownership. It would make it a lot more fun! I have an idea on how to calculate the stock price as well. You take the total Aircraft value that the airline has, it's company value, profit margin, and percentage of markets served, then you divide it all up and that gives you the stock price. Once the company is public, the amount of shares purchased by different players determines the percentage of profit goes to which airline. In addition, the companies that purchase stock in a company isn't just free money; stockholders need to pay their percentage in employee costs to that airline. So let's say, Southwest Airlines Co. Owns 51% of Delta airlines, southwest has the biggest cut of the profits from Delta and the biggest payroll per engage and that comes straight out of southwests pocket. Who controls the airline you ask? The original owner controls it, and earns money for his airline from operating profits and stock sales. Each airline has approximately 1,000,000 shares; once theyre gone, theyre gone.

You will only get one answer to that on here, simply due to history.

No. 

as Kai says, there was a system similar to this, it was abused to the moon and back!

'twas

well I suggested the market cap valuation system to yuxi and he said it would come in AE4

But it would still be abused to a degree

It would

there should be the option for companies to become public and issue shares in order to raise capital but they should be required to maintain 51% ownership. the market participants should be artificial and not current companies. all companies should have a market cap value. the current valuation system is flawed. current debt, future earnings and historical revenue growth rates should be figured when calc. this market cap.

 

companies should also have the ability to call their bonds. make it for say 105% of face value or some other measure based on the maturity, coupon and current interest rates.

 

it would also be nice if there was a feature to export routes and financials into excel

this site use to have stock market back about 4ish years ago
