Merchant Exchange

The Berchest Entrepenurial and Equity Trading Syndicate (BEETS) is available for merchants level 19 and up. At the exchange, a merchant can buy and sell stock in various corporations. Stocks will increase or decrease in price according to demand as well as the occasional market fluctuation. BEETS updates every few days, which causes stock values to change, and it resets the number of transactions available to a merchant. The following commands are available to a merchant in the exchange at the appropriate booths.
