Otay, as I mentioned in my previous post about ways to improve SIMage for playas who have no confidunce in thur abilities to pick stocks....EDZ did a 1/10 reverse stock split at the close last night. For those of you who want to cheat at this game in order for yer own "self SIMage" the way to capture the gain would be to wait until Mr Sim wakes up and shows the stock up 384857436% and then close it out. Thur bee a flaw in this game simulator that does not make adjustos to picks in closed status. For those of you who want to play the game in a "proper" fashion...leave the pick in open status. "Hopefully" the showrunner will eventually see this post and realize that an adjustment needs to be made to those who still have it as an open pick *-) 3J

Thanks for this, Joe. The start price for closed picks are adjusted correctly when we make a split adjustment, but the ending price is adjusted incorrectly.

I appreciate you pointing this out. We'll get it corrected.

Here's an even GOOGer osbervation....recently I sed >>> "the ONLY question is whether or not the compooterized trading desk at GS is going to stage a brief pullback befo topping everything out...or ifn they's gonna go right ahead and top everything out" ....I played it like they wuz gonna stage a brief pullback...thus my "premature" entry in EDZ. Now that we "know" GS's intentions...the "correct" thang to do is to wait fer EDZ to break belowst a "split-adjusto'd" price of $43 dolaahs before buying..."if" one wuz looking to take advantage o'the "tremendous" Miss Take GS is making by "cashing out" befo the summer solstice. :-) 3J
