Re: [Rails-devel] 1835 Shareprice of Pru at the End of an SR

[Stefan F. <ste...@we...>]

Another update:

I found another bug related to PR price raise.

PR  stock price could raise if all 4 PR share (options) were sold, 
however M2 was yet not exchanged into the PR director.

There was no "real" game effect, as the market price was reset to 154 as 
soon as M2 was exchanged, however on the stock chart a "zombie" PR token 
was shown as left over.

The current implementation should now be equivalent to:

PR share price can raise if
* PR has a director (M2 exchanged)
* No share is in the Bank IPO or Pool.

I keep that as the sole implementation as it seems that most agree that 
this is the "default" interpretation.
