A veritable fortune

Now, I'm all for keeping track of my money. After all, it's hard to do anything without it, right?

So I get a call from
and he says that after adding up his shares of on certificate, and then checking with our system online, that there's a discrepancy. Not a likely story, but one I've heard before. It's usually due to the rounding systems that differ from company to company.

So I say to
, "How big of a discrepancy?"

He replies, ".0002 shares."

...

...

Sometimes I wish I could punch people over the phone. This guy is calling me up, looking for 2 TEN-THOUSANDTHS of a share, valued at a whopping .0028 cents!
