Fidelity : This is broken
I had a laugh today when I checked my Fidelity account. I’d just made a trade and Fidelity was happy to report that I’d earned $0.01 since (aka rounding error). What’s better, they carried that out to 16 significant digits in the % column. Now that’s precise banking!
What’s funny about this is that I’ve made this sort of mistake at least a hundred times during my undergrad Computer Science studies. Glad to see that I’m not the only one.
