Could we have a way to invest stocks by money instead of having to figure out how many shares is closest to 2500? Or maybe a built-in stock calculator: you choose your maximum amount, and it tells you how many stocks you can invest to get as close to that maximum.

Dude if you look at the table on the stocks page, it tells you the maximum amount of shares you can buy with the amount of geos in your useable :cool:

Maybe the # of shares column should show you the maximum you can buy, whether it's because of money or max investment.

YamuN: you can only invest $2500 worth now, so I still end up using a calculator. Anyways, people should have an easy way to figure out how many stocks to buy, for how much they want to invest.

Actually, that should be "minimum". Maximum wouldn't make much sense :)
