GAMEBREAKING BUG WITH STOCK TRADING

[Maenethal]

I bought stock in some of the companies, and when I docked at another station, it said the stocks paid dividends in scientific notation. My credits went to negative several billion/trillion and my save was ruined. I'm pissed. Please fix.

Same game happened to me. Not sure if related, but it was after I destroyed the main pirate base (and an outpost) - I think those were the biggest events before it happened.
However, after a while (and some other major events), Stock price went from negative to positive, and it gave me a HUGE dividend, basically infinite money.

I have saves if needed, but I don't think I have the one before it went crazy.

I havent been able to find anything on this yet so a savegame would be nice to have

I've put two save games up, only difference is in one of them the dividends have already been paid - but in both saves the price of the stock is already crazy (and positive). Third one is much older, it was closer to when price blowed up (overflow?)
I've checked the most recent backup before the price went crazy [which is not one of the uploaded ones], here are the main differences:

Save differences:

[+] Spoiler

- Destroyed the main pirate base and one or two pirate outposts
- Found and sold to The Blackmarket
- The ruins of an ancient war
- A world devasted by a war
- The home of an alien claiming to be a God

Stock price was initially negative, and then turned positive after, maybe, I found SHI secret base and sold that info to a competitor. Not sure though.

EDIT: Also, you might notice that Eridiani Explorations stock price is 0. It has been like that since the start (and on other saves too), I'm not sure if that's intended.

Just experienced this bug.

Had ~400,000 credits, bought 50 shares of Eridani Explorations for 3 credits a share, credit balance went down to -2billion.

Selling the shares back netted 150 credits.
