Line goes up! In Speculation from Dirk Henn & Queen Games, stocks in eight companies will rise and fall relative to each other. Players are poor traders with limited starting capital, trying to make their fortunes by buying low, selling high, rinsing and repeating.

The original self-published game from 1992 used dice to determine how far stocks rise and what actions players can do. In this 2013 re-edition, the die faces are moved onto tokens pulled from a bag. Dice are bad, or so I'm told, but the bags aren't an improvement. Find a way to use dice instead for an easy, breezy stock market experience.
