The experiment consists of a number of periods. At the beginning of a period, you will be given a fresh supply of securities and cash. You can trade the securities in markets, if you wish. Markets remain open for a fixed time span. Your earnings depend on your final holdings of securities and cash after markets close. The payouts (dividends) on the securities depend on the random drawing from a urn. Drawing takes place at the beginning of a period, but is not revealed to anyone.
This experiment involves risk. The risks are not large, but they are real. Please read the instructions carefully to assess the extents of the risk. Do not participate if you think the risks are too high.
