Year 11 Day 256 11:35	Public offering of shares
Guest/Visitor	Sometimes there are public offerings of shares announced on the GNS. The one today says "market capital has been reevaluated from 51,037,478 to 63,954,310 credits." Why do shares increase in market value when there is a public offering? And how is that increase calculated? Thanks.

Teyacapan Quetzalxochitl	http://www.swcombine.com/rules/?Factions#Stock_and_Stock_Exchange Shares don't automatically increase in value when they're distributed, the faction just increased in value since it was created or its shares were first released.

Guest/Visitor	Thanks for that explanation. I had searched using the word "shares" and missed that rule page. For factions that are not Religious, Smuggler, Mercenary, Pirate or Bounty Hunter, is there a limit or rule about how many shares the initial public offering can have?

Teyacapan Quetzalxochitl	Not really. There's an upper level somewhere, but it's not something someone would accidentally run in to.

Mikel von Bianchi	To the faction. There is no public offering, it's all just pretty semantics. ____________ [19:48] .Zhao> Items know they're inside me
