For a short term solution, this might work. But to handle this bug properly, the game developers need a way to store huge numbers. The signed integer upper limit of a 32-bit storage is 2,147,483,647, which is about 2,147M. Once your company grows large as time elapses, the stock holdings and/or cash will easily pass this limit. The game can display numbers greater than this number, so I think the game designers were aware of this problem. But somehow they had some oversights while dealing with the digits in the stock market. And once the game sees the player has negative number worth of stock value or cash, the game will consider the player go broke. Even worse, the game may instantly crash when you click the "view" button to see the stock price chart. So I think the code behind stock market handling is still far from robust. Maybe we could have an option to turn off the entire stock market mechanism. I know stock manipulation is an essence of the game, but I'm a person that only enjoys watching the trains running, not worrying about the future of my company. -

Isn't the smallest increment of money something like $1000? The overflow bugs could have been pushed out by a factor of 1000 if only the internal storage was number of thousands (just add ',000' to every display). -
I somehow managed to resolve the stock value overflow problem today, and hope my solution could help anyone got caught by this fatal issue. When I first see the dialog of broker contacting me, the share value of the stock and owned stock are huge negative numbers. First, I just sit there and wait for the broker to buy stocks for me. By then, my cash becomes a great number of negative, but the balance of stocks become normal again. I then wait for the next year, until I can start selling my stocks. I sell the stocks until the player (personal) cash becomes positive again (In other words, sell stocks for repaying my "personal debt"). After that, I start buying back my stock using company cash. If the company does not have that much money, just use the cheat code "powerball" to get the money. Repeat the password until all company stocks are bought back, and then I can keep playing the game as usual. Hope this information is helpful. If there was a saved file editor, things could have been much easier......
