==Strategy==

There are two basic strategies to making money at the game.  The first is to buy whichever stocks are safely in dividend-paying territory.  Using this method, if a stock splits and returns to the $1.00 value, the owner should sell out and reinvest in a stock that is safely above par.  Similarly, if a stock drops below a dollar, the owner should sell the shares.  This technique relies upon the rule that any money invested in a stock paying dividends will earn a greater return than shares that are not paying dividends.

The second strategy is more risky, but can also be immensely profitable.  It involves buying stocks when they are near the bottom of the board and at risk of being worth nothing.  Since the dice-rolling system moves stocks by a fixed amount, rather than a percentage of their value, these stocks are very volatile.  One thousand dollars will buy ten thousand shares of a ten-cent stock.  While this stock could move down by ten or twenty and be wiped out, the most one would lose is a thousand dollars.  However, there is an equal chance that the stock will move up, and a single roll of Up 20 will triple the original investment.  The possible return on investing in a five-cent stock, the cheapest possible, is even higher.
