Since Friday was a holiday, you got the closing price at the end of the day on March 13th ($79.11).

Everyone's transactions are in Google, by the way, if you want to verify anything. Here's Dustie's:

Mar 6, 2009 WFC BUY 11613 shares at $8.61 ($10 commission)
Mar 9, 2009 WFC SELL 11613 shares at $9.97 ($10 commission)
Mar 9, 2009 VFINX BUY 1847 shares at $62.65 ($10 commission)
Mar 13, 2009 VFINX SELL 1847 shares at $79.11 ($10 commission)

That order was canceled since I didn't want to appear to be cheating:

(if we sell on a day when the market is closed, do I need to wait for the end of the day next Monday?)

Yup.

In retrospect, I probably should have said, if you make a trade BEFORE the market close, you get the price at the END of that day, and if you make a trade AFTER the market close, you get the price at the START of the next day. But I was really trying to discourage too much trading...

Ok, then cancel my sell order and I'll decide before market close on Monday.

Trade: Cancel Sell order!

That post occurred before the end of the day so it should be legit right?

I will take whatever number you want, as no one thinks I'm cheating. I hate cheaters (especially in Monopoly).
