Re: [Rails-devel] Bug in 1.7.3 1835, Token of a starting company

[Erik V. <eri...@xs...>]

I had not yet received Stefan's earlier reaction when I gave mine, and mine
seems to have been overlooked since.

The quick and simple rule that I had inferred from looking into some rule
sets is, that if a company has a *fixed* starting price, the stock price
token is laid when the company floats.  This at least applies to 1825, 1835,
and indeed 1837 (thanks John).  My question was if that rule holds for all
such games; so far is does.

The discussion now seems to have digressed to the question what happens with
companies that do not have a fixed starting price, but that have both a par
and a market price.
But that was not the issue at stake here, so I'll ignore that issue.

My proposal was and is:

> a) add a provision to show fixed start prices on the Stock Chart, to be
shown only
> if a company hasn't yet floated,

(i.e. not in the form of a token, but just plain text)

> b) for fixed start price companies, postpone stock chart token laying
until
> floating time.

No exceptions seen so far.
