What Timex Sinclair game am I thinking of?

Help me identify this old computer game for the Timex Sinclair.
My memory is really fuzzy on the particulars, but my brother and I used to play a stock market game on my father's Timex Sinclair computer and I would love to find the name of it or any background information. What I do remember is that it was probably around 1983-1986, and I think it was one of those games that was played on a tape deck attached to the computer. It was a stock market simulation game, where the goal (obviously) was to buy low and sell high, and the most striking thing I remember about it was that one of the stock companies was named Pink Polymer.
I am hoping someone else might remember this - thanks!

*stock*market* (or *stocks* or *shares*) here. Make sure you have "show pictures" set to include screenshots. Anything look familiar?posted by robtoo at 11:37 AM on May 17, 2011
Here's a 1983 scan from Popular Science which shows the game as part of an ad.
