Notice to prospective employees

A market like no other

You begin with one million. You win by driving it to nothing. Every other market rewards you for going up; this one is a Victorian financial house that rewards you for going down — and it means it.

Exhibit AThe Floor

A market that goes the wrong way when you’re right

Trade a fictional universe of companies — none of them real, and that is the joke, not a secret. Buy well and your balance climbs, in honest green, exactly the wrong direction. The clever employee learns to lose on purpose.

Exhibit BThe Office

Commissions with your colleagues

Form a private department, or take a short weekend engagement. Climb The Corporate Ladder by falling faster than the people beside you. Standing is measured in how much you have lost.

Exhibit CThe Paper

A paper that lies to you three times in eight

Read the morning edition of The Fall Street Journal, printing since 1888, and watch the Wire. Of every eight items, three are true, three are plausible and false, two are only colour. The desk never tells you which. Learning the paper is the game.

Exhibit DThe Basement

A machine that hands your money back if you’re greedy

Down in the basement is a device that pays out — and then, should you reach for too much, quietly reverses and hands your losses straight back to you. The Company installed it for your benefit. It is watching to see whether you can resist.

The people who will process your descent

The staff

G. Opher: an engraved ink portrait of a jowled gopher in small round spectacles, a shirt, a dark tie and a jacket, with the weary half-lidded eyes of middle management.

B. Adger: an engraved ink portrait of a badger in an immaculate pinstripe three-piece suit, smiling sincerely, an upward-arrow pin on the lapel.

Managing Director · Management

“Outstanding portfolio growth is always the objective. The company wishes you every success.”

— B.A.

F. Erret: an engraved ink portrait of a ferret in period dress — a flat-crowned hat, a brooch at the throat, a notched jacket over a high collar — the animal's dark bandit mask across the eyes, her expression composed and unreadable.

Columnist · The Fall Street Journal

“The coming session favours shipping. I would not be found elsewhere. You may quote me.”

The record, in the Company’s own hand

Every screen is a form

Go For Broke is rendered as the paperwork of your own downfall — ledger numerals, rubber stamps, off-white form stock. The live plates are pressed once the office opens.

Sealed this day by Opher-Broke of Fall Street. The market is fictional. The paper more so. Go for broke.
