Replying to: mikedrud (Nov 02, 2008 7:14 pm) 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.
