Haha, I reckon just remove the text input box altogether.  Leave the chat though.

Not sure about you folk, but I never use it anyway, burnt too many times when it auto-refreshes and removes everything I've typed.

Agreed...there are no prizes for the Investment Challenge luckily, so we all do this for fun and appreciate what Patrick has put in behind the scenes.

These kinds of things just nag at me, like a crooked picture frame.

And agree with Brad...something went whack with FSD's account around the 19th of May, he magically had access to double his money and has been making some good gains there from it.  That'll be a complete nightmare to fix, haha.

Yeah its not trivial by any means, especially with your fees calc on top.  Plus without knowing how your scripts and DB work together, even more difficult.

The easiest way is probably to manually adjust the number of shares the person was allowed to purchase in the first place.  You'd have to work out that number working backwards from the double sell amount, and factor in the fees as well.

@Patrick, could you show me how it all works out with Magash and similar with borrowed money?

He was able to buy R1 619 789,75 worth of ACL, where he should have been able to buy R966 997,82 worth of it (just that total minus his -R652k).

Now ACL is up 8.16%, so he's made R132 174,84 profit.  Whereas he should have only been able to make R78 907,02.  Thats a gain of R53k for nothing.

So when you say it'll all even out when he sells, how are you taking into account that R53k extra? Its an error of 7.6% on his % growth stat.

that's normal, he spent money he incorrectly had, he'll be back on zero after he sells again but his net worth is right now.
Thats confusing  :D.  He'll be making gains/losses on the extra 'borrowed' money.  When he sells, what happens to that portion of the gain/loss that is due to the borrowed money?

Np, haha, his portfolio figures are still whack though - total looks good.  Cash on hand -R650k, and he bought ACL with his double sell earnings.

@Patrick, think Magash has had a weird double sell issue with his Lonmin shares
