Pump And Dump

Trading and promotion

Pump And Dump is a PC stock-trading strategy game set in 1987. You start in a mailroom and have eight Fridays to hit cash targets, earn promotions and reach a broker’s desk. Miss a Friday target and you’re fired, sending the next run back to the mailroom. Marv runs the trading floor while SEC agent Griggs builds a file on you.

Nine stocks move on your terminal. Buy and sell them, and once you make Broker, short them. Each Friday sets a cash target, with a different twist each week. Events include a margin call that halves your position limits, a bull run that lifts every stock and an SEC audit that bans new shorts.
