Automation Issue

Hello, I am President of DanNation on LU.

I'm currently having an issue related to the automation of share purchases by my country (not the investment fund).
I recently took two of my State Corps Public, and began selling down my ownership to 24.75% in order to take advantage of the higher upgrade limit for Public Corps with a primary shareholder below 25% ownership.

The problem I am now facing, is that each game month, the system is issuing a buy order by my nation for 2% of the Corp's shares. So far I have been cancelling this order each game month, however sometimes I miss it, and my ownership level goes above 25%. Then I have to sell the shares to return to below 25%.

The Corps in question are, "DanNation First Defence Maint" and "DanNation Second Defence Maint" both located in "DanNation" on LU.

I have disabled all of my automation settings, such as "Buy and Sell shares

I was reading through the Forums, and found an old post about Portfolio targets. This was the setting that was causing my problem.

For anyone having the same problem:
Click on "Shares" on the left side of the screen.
Then click "country portfolio targets".
Change the % to the desired amount.
The Automation will now keep your ownership % to that level.

This is a handy feature. Thanks GM's, you've truly made a deep and detailed game with SimCountry, I'm having a lot of fun learning all about it :D
