Hey. I'm just letting you know we've done some pretty impressive things with conversions as you go and formulas lately. Do you still want your money listed in US dollars? We can convert it all to HK dollars if you like.

Let me know.
(Pssst. Also, in your form, you converted the wrong way to get from HKD to USD. It's multiplied, not divided.)

(Um. Just doing the sums a bit further and with 23.35 HKD = approx 17 USD, 10 shares of this is a bit beyond your pricerange. Let me know how you want to adjust it.)

Sorry for replying so late. Life interferes. I would like the money be listed in Hong Kong dollars.

Oh.I would like to change it to 6.
