I got enough interest in this that I just decided to post it.  If this
thing isin't PD by now it should be as Parker Brothers has made absolutely
zero effort to keep it in print.  For all you collectors out there who want
to buy an original copy expect a five year wait and a $30 price tag when
you do find it.

MONOPOLY STOCK EXCHANGE

Components:

With your favorite text formatter and laser printer you should make up
the following cards.  

One Stock Exchange Space (which replaces Free Parking).  It is the same
size and shape as the space on the board.  It is also done in a green 
cardboard that closely matches the color of the Monopoly board itself.

This is what it looks like:

                                       .
                                    .     .
                                  .         .
                            1  .   LIST OF     .  2
                             .    SECURITIES     .
                          .                         .
                        .       AM.MOT.    150        .
                      .         UN.RYS.    140          .
                        .       GEN.RAD.   130        .
                          .     NAT.UTIL.  120      .
                             .  AL. STEAM  110   .
                               .MOT.PIC.   100.
                                  .         .
                                    .  $  .
                                       .

You have to squash the text a little (12 point for LIST OF.. and 10 point
for the rest).  Also, there is a box around the stock price list and the
dollar sign at the bottom is much larger (44 point, if such a thing exists).
Also, the word STOCK EXCHANGE is printed on the card with the word STOCK
parallel to side 1 and EXCHANGE parallel to side 2 (both in 16 point type).
This is probably the hardest of the peices to build.
 
Now you will need to create the stock certificates themselves.  These are
much easier.  They are 2.25 by 3.5 inch cards and they are printed on the
same color cardboard as the Stock Exchange space is.

You will need to make 5 of each of the following:

The front ---- are double lines and the whole front text is surrounded by a
matching double line box.  The v and ^ are matching little black triangles.
Finally, the following point sizes are used on the various lines of text.
Front: 1-2=12pt, 3=14pt, 6=25pt, 8=7pt, 9=24pt, 11-17=7pt.
Back: 2-4=25pt, 8-10=10pt, 14-16=5pt.
  
The last components you will need are three chance and three community chest
cards which say Advance to Stock Exchange on them.  How I handled this was to
get an old Monopoly set (.25 to $1 at a garage sale) and use three of each of
the above cards from it.  I then wrote STOCK in large letters over the text
on the card.  It is not pretty but, it works well.
 
Finally, here are the rules that are included with the set.  We strongly
recommend using the buy two shares per landing option.  Using the one share
rule we found stock to have minimal impact on the game.

RULES FOR STOCK EXCHANGE

STOCK EXCHANGE

When a player lands on STOCK EXCHANGE, he has the Option of buying 
from the Bank, one* Share of Stock in any Comapny he prefers, at the Par Value
Price, printed on the Stock Certificates.  If a player wishes to buy, he pays
the Bank for the Stock and receives a STOCK CERTIFICATE in the Company he 
selects.  If the Player declines the Option, the Banker immediately offers
this Option for sale at Auction and sells it to the Highest Bidder.

STOCK

Original purchases of Stock can only be bought from the Bank, one*
Share at a time, when some player lands on STOCK EXCHANGE.  Stock can be 
mortgaged at one-half the Par Value Price, or can be sold to any Player as a
private transaction for any amount that the Owner can get.

DIVIDENDS

Dividends are payable by the BANK to All Stock Holders upon any Token
landing on STOCK EXCHANGE, in accordance with the list printed on the
Certificates held by the Owner.

It is an advantage to own the entire block of Stock of a Company, as the
Dividends increase considerably with the amount owned in any one Company.

                               _______________

NOTE: "STOCK EXCHANGE" Space on a "MONOPOLY" Board or "FINANCE" Board is
that Space designated as "FREE PARKING".

Place the STOCK EXCHANGE on that Space on Your Board, insert the Pink
and Yellow Cards in Packs, and proceed with the Game in accordance with the
Rules.

                               _______________

*Some Players like to be able to purchase one or two Shares of Stock at a
time.  This may be done if agreeable to all Players, before starting the game.


Well, that's it.  If anyone has any questions just ask.

Nick Sauer
