[Lionel]

Do you see a value for cash in hand? If yes, then you play by putting in the stock sympol, the # of shares you wish to purchase, then you click on preview purchase.

If you have nothing for cash in hand, then you have a problem.

You also need to click install to show appreciation to the coder.
