Stock Market is a feature introduced on August 6, 2015.
The feature introduced a stock market-like mechanic to YoWorld where players can buy various stocks from different companies, or invest in them. Players have the possibility to either loose or win YoCoins from stocks.
There are no outside forces when it comes to the outcome of an investment, the value of a stock can rise and fall randomly, as it's usually randomly generated.
There is data available for players to see the trends of the stocks of any given company.
