I walked away for a few minutes and I realized my error! I am so sorry! The investor didn't initially say "Buy $10,000 worth of Vola Tile"; he or she said "Buy 200 shares of Vola Tile." Then the broker (or their computer) would have said, "It's trading at $50.00 right now so we will be taking $10,000.00 out of your account to buy the shares plus our $10.00 fee."

This was fun. I wonder if the original intent of the problem was to see if anyone thought there would be a gain (on the order of 10%).

Thanks Snowdog. Keep 'em coming!
