What you're actually buying
Units
Each company issues a fixed number of units when it lists. Owning units means owning part of that supply.
LPearls
The currency of the marketplace. Deposits arrive as LPearls, and every price is quoted in them.
Order book
Buyers post bids and sellers post asks. A trade happens when they meet, and the last trade is the price you see.
Questions
What is LPearls?
The unit every price and balance on Liquid Pearls is counted in. Bank deposits are credited as LPearls, and cashing out turns them back into money in your bank account.
How is a company's price set?
By its last trade on the order book. Buyers and sellers set the prices they are willing to trade at, and a trade happens when a bid and an ask meet.
Can I sell my units?
Yes, by placing a sell order. It fills when a buyer's order matches it, so selling depends on there being a buyer.
Where can I withdraw to?
Only to a bank account in your own name.
How does a company get listed?
It applies and goes through review before trading opens. See List your company.
