Stock Screener
Description
The stock screener is the first stop for trading stocks. Here, you have access to basic information regarding all the companies in the game (the only exception is your company). In contrast to the real world, you can see both private and publicly traded companies (since you can still buy private companies).
Click on any row to access its Company Info Panel.
Each row of the stock screener shows the following information:
- Symbol: The stock symbol of a company, a unique sequence of 1-4 alphanumeric characters (all capitalized).
- Name: The corporation's name. Also uniquely determined (although case sensitive). Thus, "Abc" and "ABC" are both valid company names.
- Price: the company's stock price.
- Change ($): The price change relative to the previous month.
- Change (%): The price variation in percentage terms relative to the previous month. It is computed as .
- Market Cap.
- P/E Ratio.
- Debt/Equity Ratio.
- Dividend Yield.
The color of the price, change ($) and change(%) will turn green or red depending on whether the change is positive or negative.
By clicking on the headers of the table, you can also sort the tables either ascending or descending.
For filtering the table, you can use either the search bar (which filters by the issuing entity) or the filter button. The latter has the following filtering options:
- Price: Between min and max.
- Market cap ($M): Between min and max millions.
- P/E ratio: Between min and max.
- Debt/Equity ratio: Between min and max.
- Dividend yield (%): Between min and max.
- Credit rating: Select one or more credit ratings you want to filter.
- Own stock: Use this to select only stocks you own (shorting is not included).
- Not controlled: Use this to select only companies that are not controlled (a company is controlled if any single entity owns more than 50% of the company).
- Shorted by the player: Use this to select only companies you are currently shorting.
- Number of subsidiaries: Between min and max.
- Tax loss carryovers ($M): Between min and max millions.
- One-year return (%): Between min% and max%.
- Three-year return (%): Between min% and max%.
- Five-year return (%): Between min% and max%.
For filtering parameters between min and max, by leaving min empty, you select all rows whose value is less or equal than max. Similarly, by leaving max empty, you select all rows whose value is larger or equal than min (leaving both empty is equal to having no filter at all).
Click confirm to filter the table or cancel to cancel the filtering. Also, you can click the Clear all button to reset all filter parameters (still, you need to click confirm to remove the filters!).
