In the GolfInvestors environment people can invest in professional golfers via industry specific stock markets with the purpose of helping professional golfers fund their endeavors and to increasing their investment placed in professional golfers.
On the GolfInvestors stock markets, professional golfers raise money by offering shares of themselves like companies do on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) and the NASDAQ. The professional golfers can raise money by performing private placements, initial public offerings, or follow-up public offerings (secondary public offerings) just like on real financial markets to get their shares traded on the GolfInvestor markets.
Like a real securities trader, investors on GolfInvestors obtain insight in the order situation by monitoring the bid and ask price of each player's stock, as well as how the player is performing in tournaments. Each investor's bid and ask price influences the price of the shares. The prices are, as on a real stock market, a result of supply and demand. Investors estimate how much money a golfer should earn between the time the market begins and finishes. Then they compare this with the current price (last executed trade) to determine if the golfer is a buy, hold or sell. The stock market reflects the expectations of the investors. In real-time, an investor can react to new information (a player hits an errant tee shot, a player chips-in for eagle to take the lead in the final round, a player makes a 40-foot putt to win the play-off, player places 20th in a tournament and earns $25,000, etc.).
There are 4 different interfaces which investors can use to trade on the GolfInvestors stock markets:
The interactive nature of the GolfInvestors stock markets make it exciting to use on a regular basis and get you more involved in the game of golf.
