Could you provide the detailed steps for this trick?

Could you provide the detailed steps for this trick?

of course, dear David.

1. Borrow money up to the maximum limit
2. Spend it out on a low price company shares that has the highest public shareholders % remain
3. click [Borrow] button again (Credit limit will update to new value), so, you can borrow more money again
4. Sell it all
5. do it again and again, then you'll find your money goes up like crazy !!

ps. your loan will stay in 608M as maximum limit, but you can still buy and sell shares to earn more $$$

In my opinion, this is a legal way, even would legal in reality,
so it's not wise to stop it happen, there's only 3 options to prevent.
1. lower the loan limit, that's the only a wise way.
2. stop bank to recalculate your loan limit, but it's unwise. (step 3.)
3. change formula for stock, but it's a huge mathematical project

I tested it following your instructions but it resulted in a loss as opposite to a profit.

Are you able to get the same positive result every time you try?

Did anyone else try this? Can you share your result here?

Yes, I'm able to get the same positive result every time I try.
The secret is choose the stocks that it has the highest shares % remain to buy,
so, when your buy it more, it'll increase its price more.
therefore, the mechanism is very realistic, I reckon,
but AI won't sell shares when you buy it in the same time,
however, people would sell stocks when you buy it in the same time in reality,
so it still not realistic enough tho.

yep I tried it too it works it s similar to the bond-merge cheat
Maybe a fix would be in the bond/lending mechanism like not allowing to lend/issue bonds that easily, maybe require more guarantees

for the bond/merge cheat I think parent company loans/assets ratio should be used to allow the subsidiary to borrow

for the bond/stock cheat maybe limit the number of bonds depending on the structure of the assets (e.g if your assets are 99% stocks you should not be able to issue a bond, like stock money is not as safe as land money for example)

[beuher2000]

Actually the bond/stock cheat is more due to the stock artificially increasing
In reality you would buy at a higher and higher price the more you buy but you could not sell at this higher price right after , you could sell at the original price and lower and lower the more you sell
and the value taken into account for loans after you buy the stock should be the mid price (or weighted selling price like in reality the market is an order book)

that reminds me of the other cheat where you could buy stock with two companies A and B and increase the total value infinitely, this has been almost fixed with the fix anti exploit and real stock sim but there is still a flaw
I managed to do it with my company and the insurance stock trading of a subsidiary as my company can buy their stock thus the cheat is

stock/insurance cheat:
buy all the stock of some company with the insurance stock trading of your subsidiary
buy those stock back with your company (SEC does not complain)
sell all stock
repeat

at some point your insurance trading has a lot of money which you can transfer back to your sub and then to your company with the special dividend thing
the anti exploit should be extended to insurance trading
