members confirmed for not knowing how stocks work, this suggestion isn't how stocks work either. but I like the idea of actual "stocks".
let me reply first to some misconceived posts

of course people would buy stocks in the best clan, but of course the amount of stocks a clan has would be limited. for example: any given clan might have a maximum of 25 total stocks,
2) Where is the tc profit coming from? Toribot? The void?
from the players. let's say you buy a stock, you are buying this stock in hopes that this specific clans win ration will rise. you are predicting whether they will win or lose wars. the only way you profit from this is if you sell your stock; your stock becomes worth more as a clans win ratio rises and you would be able to sell your stock or share for higher than you purchased. a good way to benefit warring clans even more without needing to generate any TC.
naturally, players interested in stocks might even buy stocks with clans that have projected losses so they are cheaper, and sell them when their stocks become worth more (when their ration rises back up).
3) What's stopping the clans members from buying their own stock and playing unfairly to make money? Maybe make it so people can't buy stock to their own clan and the clan they are facing?
well that's simple, clans can't buy their own stocks since they would be getting the profit from people buying their stocks. to ensure that clans don't just take the money and never war, we could probably set up a system in which you need a certain amount of completed wars to even be able to have players buy your stocks.
(this would be another really good incentive to be active in warring when we get going with a new clan war system)
4) What if the clan fails to finish a war? You get paid back, I'm guessing.
not how stocks work. you aren't paying for them to win one war, you are paying in hopes that their win ratio increases so your stock is worth more.
the benefit to buying stocks is selling them, it's just another way to make TC while needing to invest in a clan. it's just like how any good marketeer (shev, insanity, etc) would buy an item with the thought in mind that the items price would increase.
Would be more logical to have Clan War Betting, but that's just my opinion.
another good suggestion, but I won't touch on this too much until someone actually puts out a decent thread specifically for this.
In a perfect world this would work, but it's not so it's guaranteed that someone is going to try to exploit this. (And most likely succeed)
Not supported, sorry.
there's no way to abuse this, unless a clan specifically loses wars to spite stock owners (but why would they do that if they are warring? lol)
naturally this would be a great suggestion for official active warring clans only, along with the other guidelines I spoke of above.

Unsupported.
as said above, impossible to "scam". what clan would agree to lose on purpose in order to benefit another clan? and like I said above, if there becomes a select few amount of clans with the ability to sell their stocks, none of the clans in that circle would be likely agree to lose.
long story short, the original suggestion is not how stocks work, and would not work. it would have the type of scams, bugs, issues that you guys have said. with a proper clan war stock system if anything it would only reward clans for being active in their wars and making profit off being active in game (and using the clan war system).
if the case of the suggestion is made with the thought of the proper stocks system in mind, it would be a great benefit to active warring clans and encourage inactive clans to begin using the clan war system as well as play in game to get better.
a good alternative to making some TC for your clan since their aren't often many clan events to partake in.
