FTSE 1980s: City Slicker V2.8
Can you make your fortune on the stock market in just 52 weeks?
Welcome to Threadneedle Street in the 1980s, where fortunes are made, markets are unpredictable, and every decision could mean the difference between becoming a stock market millionaire or losing it all!
It’s the decade of big money, bold investments, privatisation booms and the computer revolution. Armed with just £10,000 in starting capital and 52 weeks to make your fortune, you’ve got one mission: buy low, sell high, and prove you’ve got what it takes to become the ultimate City Slicker!
But the stock market is anything but predictable. Share prices rise and fall, market crashes can wipe out your hard-earned profits, and the next big investment opportunity could be just around the corner.
The City Never Stands Still!
As the weeks tick by, the market evolves around you. New companies, including iconic British names such as Acorn Computers, Sinclair, ICI, and many others, may make their appearance on the stock exchange, bringing fresh opportunities to grow your portfolio.
Will you back the emerging technology companies battling for dominance in the great 8-bit computer wars, or put your money into more established British businesses? Perhaps you’ll take advantage of the decade’s privatisation boom?
And don’t forget, holding on to your shares might bring an unexpected bonus, with surprise cash dividend payouts rewarding patient investors!
