Hi KeepItSimple; I've been playing Railroad Tycoon II the past few days, and I've learned quite the techniques for extracting cash out of a company that you manage. The most effective way is to buy up most of the share of a small, worthless, competitor. Then take the big company, the one that you only have a small number of shares in, and get into as deep in debt as you can. (Issue bonds.) Then do a cash merger with the worthless company, paying the absolute maximum price you can. The result: company money ends up in your pocket... It is a highly amusing simulation, you can short as well as buy your own shares, as well as other people's. At the same time, you have the railroad industry to worry about. You can buy the industries that your opponents are providing service to, and make money off their efforts, for instance. Good trading today, -- Carl
