Last time he posted his portfolio, he was actually extremely close to what i had at that time, & he was generously buying it whenever i released more.

Goddamn windfall tax though...it's timing was simply retarded...i mean tax me, fine, but don't tax me the moment i add a zillion new shares to a company :(

What's the timing for the dividends, & what amount triggers the horrifyingly huge tax?

Thanx to you, i spent my few divs literally as they came in, cause i was getting paranoid about the tax.

Is it a billion in the bank that triggers the windfall tax?

Haha no.

I'd be the poor one.

When i got fucked with the tax & couldn't buy any more or the NCIX i'd just added, i freaked out & sold everything (at massive losses of course) in a futile attempt to regain at least around 45%.

So now i have no MSFT or AT, actually nothing but NCIX making me any actual money...

I think once the dividends have all come through, they'll start chipping away until you're down to a billion. I think divs are every 2 hours or so. Just make sure to keep spending it all until they're done. {I think you might have a bit of time after it's finished to spend what's left. I picked up most of your NCIX stock. You should be alright.

Billion is the cap?

Holy crap that's a nightmare if so...you gotta be sitting there watching things 24/7 or it's all going to go down the drain?

Is 1 billion in the account really the max?

I'm not really sure how it works, I can't wait and figure out how they do it and risk it all. But I think they do start pulling it all, not sure if it's immediate.

That would explain why i got hit with an amount that dropped me to right around 1 billion then :(

And no, you're not really too close in shares on NCIX; i have 21m.

SQL errors will come up when the dividends are coming in. Such a large toll is being taken on the database that it's hard to keep up.
