  1. Hi Frank,

    Just to let you know, I get a negative cash balance after plugging in your trades into my spreadsheet. I believe the size of the last trade (purchase of BBBY) needs to be reduced to 475 shares and that cash held is really 1% after this is done (as opposed to negative).

    Not sure if this is correct, but, perhaps you can confirm.

    Thanks,
    John

    • Hello John,

      Sorry! My mistake.

      For my model portfolio i will reduce the size of my last BUY position by 25% to 150 shares.

      Thanks for making me aware of this!

      Regards,
      Frank
