I am unable to sell a stock because it has not been traded in the last few days. Any assistance would be appreciated.
Thanks

I see that you have changed the Portfolio section of the game. I really enjoyed the fact that I could see how much I paid for a stock and the percentage that I have gained or lost on that stock. Since you have changed it I don’t really see how much I have lost or gained and if I should sell it. Any chance that you could change it back?
Thanks,

Hi William,
Sorry for the confusion here. You can still see how much you paid for a stock and the percentage that you gained or lost on that stock; all you have to do is click on the “Total Gain/Loss” link found at the top of your portfolio’s holdings.
We made this change because we wanted to better organize all of the information in your portfolio for you. Would you prefer that we changed it back? Please let us know.
Regards,
Brendan
