I don't know exactly how the stock market randomly generates the change in share price, but I had some ideas that might make it less random, more like the real market, and a viable option for long term investment.

1. Share prices should not be 'capped'. If a share price gets too high then it should split. This will ensure that shares stay within a range that everyone can afford but if the stock is doing well then those who own it don't need to fear losing everything if they don't sell.

2. The likelihood of a share's value going up or down should be tied to it's previous performance. If the price went up then the likelihood of the price going up again should be greater. The bigger the increase the more likely another price increase should be.

3. If a stocks price should fall below a certain price the odds of the price going up shoud, regardless of previous performance, increase as the price falls further below that predetermined price, up to a 100% chance of the stock's price going up.

4. There should be the chance of a 'catestrophic' event. Randomly there should be a major increase or decrease of the stock's price, far more than the 3% limit on average changes.

3. There should be a statistics page for each stock showing the high and low prices for the day and week. A performance graph could also be included on that page.

in the section were it tells us how many of each stock we can afford can that number please take into account that we are not allowed to spend more than 2500

How about if a 'business' went bust (bankrupt). That would add a bit more risk.
