Update: version 6.2.07 with the fixes has been released. You may download it from: http://www.capitalism2.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=7250

There is many ways to exploit game mechanics to make quick gains. Also there is ways to edit savegame or directly the memory of the game to get bilions.
And editing savegame or game memory is not bug at all.
Its simple as that, dont use the exploits to get advantage, and they wont bother you :P

I talked about this bug already in the past, I can't believe it still have not been resolved yet.

I loved this game so much but I stopped to play until a lot of bug gets corrected.

Please download the latest version v6.0.10 from https://www.enlight.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=52&t=6904

bond prices continued to drop dramatically on 6.0.9
version.

The dev team is going to separate the "Stock and Bond return" account into 3 accounts, namely "Bond interests", "Bond return", and "Stock Return".

After this improvement has been implemented, you may test it again and it will be easier to identify what goes wrong.

more on part 3, There is a discrepancy between the income statement and balance sheet to cause the credit rating to give wrong evaluation.

If we look at the Income Statement, you will see I profited
$53,317,530 in 2001 and $4804M in 2002

So the total profit in 2 years should be $53M+$4804M = $4857M (it is calculated wrong)
but this does NOT match with the balance sheet
which indicated I have total equity of $8124M (I know this is correct because it matched the cash I have in hand).

We need to exam the column "Stock and Bond return" from the Income Statement,
there is a bug and it is calculated [b]WRONG[/b]
It is better to separate them like:
Stock Return
Bond Return

Furthermore, I argued
my profit in 2001 is $53M (No bond trading in that year, so I know this is correct)
and [b]net profit in 2002 is[/b] $8124M - $53M = [b]$8071M[/b] (vs $4804M recorded, and here is the discrepancy).

More on part 2, Credit ratings got updated on monthly basis instead on daily, this can cause major discrepancy and make credit rating to differ by a lot.

From my attachments,

you can see on Dec 31 2001, my credit rating is D Coupon rate 17.70% for 5 years Term
and on Jan 1, 2002, my credit rating is BBB Coupon rate 9.85% for 5 years Term.

I done nothing to cause this issue, I only forward the game by 1 day.

Furthermore, the reverse is true to go against my company as I demonstrate here:

On Dec 31 2001, I issued a bond 81,200,000 @100 17.70% 5 years term and few days later
on Jan 4, 2002 this bond become 81,200,000 @139.20 9.85% 5 years term.

If I repurchase this bond back immediately it would cost me:

81,200,000 (100-139.20) = 81,200,000 (-39.20) = [b]lost of 3,183,040,000[/b], again I done NOTHING to cause this to occur.

It gets more interesting,

On Dec 31 2001 screen, the very first day I issued this bond
it showed:
Credit Rating at Issue was D
Current Credit Rating is now BBB, and I haven't even forward a day yet.

So there is definitely a [b]discrepancy[/b].

As you can see from my save game.

I have no stores, no productions, or anything in my first two years.
Nothing significant will impact my credit rating from the operation perspective.
My operating profit/lost was [b]Zero[/b].

Three things can go wrong to cause the bond price to drop so much in a short period of time:
1. Credit rating mechanism has a problem, and I don't have knowledge on how this is done, so I can't comment on this.
2. Credit ratings got updated on monthly basis instead on daily, this can cause major discrepancy and make credit rating to differ by a lot.
3. There is a discrepancy between the income statement and balance sheet to cause the credit rating to give wrong evaluation.

I will investigate further on part 2 and part 3.

Here is my saved game for this problem
