Not sure if it adds that much by being able to short individual stocks.

Compared to "dividends"? lol

Stocks going down move faster than stocks going up. Try it sometime. Cash isn't close. I say keep the original rules and quit tweaking it.

Cheers.

Shorting in this game looks like just a negative number of shares except ...

that you have to change the "sign" or take the Absolute Value of a position
and
add the mark to market gain or loss to have the portfolio total add right

I prefer the original/latest rules, but if someone does the work for Elroy and a short position gets charged for dividends, then it's OK with me.
