Found a money glitch involving marques accuisittion and subsequent spin off with cash infussion

Steps to replicate it:
1) acquired company that was worth around 6-8bil for 14bil i believe.
2) spun it off while giving them 8bil in cash
3) spent one turn for it to become independent company and gain (1 time it was 300bil market cap and next time around 200bil)
4) sold my shares of the company for 100+ billions of profit.
Did you know about this bug or should i provide my save file with further exact companies(tried with 2, both worked for 100+ bils) that i did it with so you can find what is exactly causing it?

Thanks, I will take a look at it for v2.0.0.4.

Please send me the save game in case it's a settings issue: http://wiki.gearcity.info/doku.php?id=troubleshooting:steam_savegamefile

While I couldn't duplicate your 200 Billion claims, I did make some adjustments to the game. First, I made slight increases to purchasing costs of companies. Secondly, I now delete a company's stock history when you spin off a company.

To this latter point, when you spin off the company, it retains its past financial historical data. Positive historical EPS and revenue growth would inflate the stock price beyond the book value of the cash and vehicle models. By purging the past data, the market cap should shrink a bit the turn after. I tried duplicating it with the same company in the video, and it comes out as a loss each time. So I think the issue is fixed. Let me know when 2.0.0.4 if it resolves the issue for you.

Thanks again.
