Potions Market and Trading
Want to increase your galleons? Why not invest in the Potions Market? Check out the descriptions of the different listed companies and speak to a Goblin about making an investment. The current rates will be available via the Gringotts Financial Times and do not reflect real world stock exchange rates, this is just for fun. To have a portfolio you must have a vault at Gringotts.
The value of each stock is shown in Galleons/Sickles/Knuts, listed in shorthand as ?ʛ/?⸮/?⁂ (which is as close to the canon galleons/sickles/knuts symbols as possible while still being easy to copy and paste on our forums!)
Each stock is listed with a three letter code called a ticker. The ticker code for each stock will be coloured as follows to denote change:
XXX - shares are up
XXX - shares are down
XXX - no change
XXX - new on the market

Potions Market Company Descriptions

BAR > Baruffio & Sons
While Baruffio was known to have been a slouch when it comes to charms, there are certainly plenty of people who swear by Baruffio's Brain Elixir. Allegedly this product will help a Witch or Wizard retain information better and think faster during examinations and other stressful times. Despite several tests proving inconclusive, there are enough believers in this claim that Baruffio and Sons still manage to gain new business, particularly when OWLs and NEWTs are in session.
BBB > Bott ‘s Bean Business Ltd.
Bertie Bott's Every Flavoured beans are still one of the stand out Wizarding candies world wide. Recently the company has been expanding and experimenting with non-edible and medicinal beans, though their candy remains their most popular product, regardless of the flavour.
DJP > Dunstan Jerry Productions

E.M.L are best know for their Bundimun Pomade though they produce several other hair products and several effective cleaning products in bulk.

It took a while to recover from this though the too-strong Pomade was remarketed as a scouring solution.
FER > Fergus Co

MBC > Madam Borboleta Candies Ltd.
Established in 1920, Madam Borboleta Candies Ltd. has since entertained thousands of customers with their fluttery sugar confections, even with their horrible line of taffy, which didn’t go over well. In 2034 they decided to stick to their original recipe. The sugared butterfly wings are their only popular product.
MMM > Magi-Me-More Inc
Magi-Me-More Inc, was founded in 1890. Their lowest point was creating a never-ending pill, which actually decreased magical ability over time rather than increasing it. After a long absence they came back in 1998 with a newer pill one which overthrew their horrid reputation and did exactly what it says on the tin... sort of. Side effects are not
MOL > Moldavite and Glints Ltd

QUE > Queenbee

Feel like floating, have a whizbee is their motto.
RBD > Rouster and Burleigh Research Corporation
Rouster and Burliegh Research Corporation, a company that does ingredient based research has had hard times since it’s beginning in 1879. They’ve picked up their shoes however and have since become one of the top ten research companies Wizarding world-wide.

SCR > Screaming Snakes Inc
Screaming Snakes is a newer product, specializing in hair potions. It’s not nearly as popular as it should be however, the name scaring off people before they buy it.

SEI > Sleakeazy Inc

SWL > Stainwright Ltd
Producers of Everklena, which ensures you will need to clean forever, its amazing this company, originally founded by Erica Stainwright, has managed to stay in business.
