History
The Stock of Stonks was originally sold by Warren for. This item was intended to be valueless, to be used as a token simply to test if the Bazaar was working as intended. Shortly after its debut, Warren stopped selling Stocks, because enough had been purchased to test the Bazaar comfortably. Players quickly listed the Stock on the Bazaar, and its price fluctuated wildly until it settled above somewhere above its original cost price. During this time, Warren's GUI indicated that players would, one day, be able to sell Stocks back to Warren, but Warren was removed with the update on May 19, 2020, with the line in the changelog reading:

Over time, the Stock's original purpose was forgotten, and players took time to think about the description on the item. Tempted by the potential of 100x riches, some players have hoards of Stocks ready to be turned into something else, or sold back on the Bazaar for, already, over 100x its original value.
