Fix issue with balances

Hi! I keep getting this irritating situation when the cash balance on one page of the app is different from the running total on the other page of the app.

The reason is that you apply dividend to the balance a lot earlier (hours?) than you actually add dividend to the activity page. And this is bad. I worked as accountant for long part of my life, and at my work companies who couldn’t make their total agree with the statement were not considered professional, or worth trusting them our money.

You might think this is a “small thing”, but it is not.

When this happened for the first time, I spent a lot of time trying to reconcile my records with yours, going back several month without finding any issues except that the balance was off by quite a significant amount. Now I don’t do it obviously, as I learned the lesson that your app balance should not be trusted, but maybe one day you are going to fix it?

Also an accounant here but it is just a timing difference that gets resolved within a few hours once the dividend notification is issued. What is the minimal difference in balance stopping you from doing?

Dancing the fandango?

People - Pay my dividends as fast you can…

Also people - Delay paying my dividends until you update the activity feed…
