Some people were wondering about dividends for stocks and bonds.
In Corp. Shadowfiles there is enough information for the GM to work bonds,
including rates for which Corps and Junk Bonds fail. As for stocks I think
that the Netrating of the Corp divided by one hundred is a good amount per
share. That would give a little over 1 nuyen a share for AAA megacorps to about
0.25 nuyen a share for a subsidiary of the same corp. Using this equation the
players might make a decent amount when they have several tens of thousands of
shares but have the disadvantage of having a SIN. Since the Netrating is worth
of the Corp I think that this is resonable. However I haven't given my players
the chance to mess with it yet, so I might end up changing my mind.
