Still temporarily wealthy…

Hmmm…

The brokerage has come to terms with the stock split mentioned recently.

But the money transferred between checking and brokerage is still in both places.

Hmmm…

I would get all excited, but there’s the strong possibility that this could get ugly. I envision both companies looking at the other’s accounts and saying “oh, the money is over there” and simultaneously deleting both instances from existence, with no paper trail to speak of.

I can’t wait to find out how it ends. I might do the noble thing and alert somebody to the discrepancy, but I’m sure that would only aggravate the situation and usher in the aforementioned worst-case-scenario.

Hmmm…..

A Brief Moment of Wealth

I am in a strange crossroads right at this moment.

1. I transferred money from a checking account to a brokerage account yesterday.
2. The money is showing up in both accounts online right now.
3. A stock in my brokerage account has split during the night.
4. The brokerage is showing the correct number of doubled shares, but is still showing the old share price from yesterday, which means it is showing double the value on my balance.

So, for the next few minutes, before the systems getted synchronized, I’m going to pretend I became slightly richer overnight.

Who wants beer? I’m buying!
