Stock split

[radovan]

Forgive me if I am mistaken, but I do not notice the option to split stocks of a company anywhere, yet I am not allowed to buy-back stocks of my company when the outstanding number of shares falls bellow 1 million. Please - either turn this rule off, or allow manual splitting of stocks, because the current system blocks the player from fully controlling their company.

I also believe that the option to manually split and merge stocks is needed, I encounter the described problem fairly often.

Its interesting that you support your own suggestion.

I do believe the ability to have stock splits and mergers are necessary, but more so on the merge side.

With the new Sub DLC, I often take my company public mid game that results in millions of shares being issued at once because the opening stock price is set at $10. This makes it impossible to issue more shares even years later because I'm told the market for my shares is full. Having the ability to merge stocks would at least gives us the ability to issue more stock.

In the example I gave though, I think a better solution would be to allow a market price to be determined when you first go public. Instead of setting a % you wish to issue, set a specific number of shares to issue. This will result in a calculation of the going market price. If you wish to require at least 20% be issued upon going public that's fine. I think we just should be able to adjust the price up or down to change how many shares that is.

Lol I did not pay attention, and I apologize. I got annoyed by the problem I described, and did not want to spam with multiples threads on the same topic, so I have searched the forum for the similar posts first, and answered to this one without first checking who posted it. I completely forgot about it, as it was posted almost a year ago. And I did not get a single reply until now. So in a way I am glad I did it, I just should have written 'Bump' instead of '+1' But I still believe this should be fixed, and hopefully something can be done about it, it is not that hard to implement in my opinion.
