I'm not sure if this is a bug, or if i just don't have enough understanding of the stock market.
If this isnt a bug, feel free to move or delete this thread.
My basic understanding of a stock split is they double the number of shares of everyone who owns shares, and splits their value in half. So you have 10 shares at $10 each then end up with 20 shares at $5 each.
I didn't think it was supposed to alter the total value of anyone's stock, or reduce their number/share in a company.
What seems to be happening ingame is the stock split also reduces your share in the company. The reverse also seems to happen when you get really broke and the split is reversed. The game says you own over 100% of the shares (200% for example)
Here are two screenshots,
The first is from my current game, where i bought all my shares, showing my 16% share in the company after splits
The second screenshot is from a test game where i bought no shares and wasted all of my company's money.
