We may change the retirement date on that and other stocks. Sometimes we can't tell when a vehicle is "widely available to the public" until sales figures start coming in.
If we change any retirement dates, I'll always post a note on these Forum pages.

I currently have just over $120M in stocks and another $18K in available cash, but my net worth is showing as only $109M. If anyone can explain the difference in those numbers i'd appreciate it.

Every trade I make seems to enlarge the gap between my net worth and overall stock value. My current stock value is $118,666,552.46, net worth is $106,081,859.68 leaving a difference of $12,584,692.78 that seems to have somehow vanished. It doesn't make much sense for me to continue playing at this point if my net worth is off by this much. I am done for this month and am considering whether or not just to cash out and retire.

Still looking into this, bg96. Hope to have it figured out by Monday.

I've been playing around with the stocks in my portfolio trying to see if any one stock could explain the issues with my net worth. I just completed a short series of trades. I covered 200 of FSER a stock price of 377.50 which gives me a value of 677.50 per share for a total of $124,500. This trade did not change the price of the stock and did not change my net worth. I then increased my short position in HFIT by 577 which changed the stock price from 40.73 to 40.13. My net worth decreased from $105,026,790.08 to $104,992,590.85, but my overall stocks value increased from $118,136,628.47 to $118,270,174.06 a difference of $133,545.59.
I believe the change in the overall stocks value is correct because the value of my position in HFIT increased from $22,078,134.27 to $22,336,179.86 for a difference of $258,045.59. That number minus the $124,500 that I covered on FSER equals $133,545.59. None of the other stocks in my portfolio changed price during this series of trades. HFIT is the only stock I have found that doesn't register properly with my net worth.
Since HFIT is my largest position, I am wondering if there is an upper limit to the number of shares I can have in a particular stock.
