The first issue seems to be fixed, but now I'm picking at a second. Again, I could be wrong.

The sticky thread on the Stock Exchange forums says:

"*NOTE: 15 minutes is currently 1 day in stocks time meaning that you can buy 1000 stocks every 15 minutes."

However, I bought stocks eeeearly this morning and it's STILL telling me to come back later. Was it simply changed to once-a-day, and nerfed, like the vending machine? Or is it an error?

i just pushed a change for how long the stock widget data is cached for. let me know if you still see this happening :)

(it won't take effect for you until your currently cached widget expires, though)

I'll keep an eye on it. Thank you!
