Initial Oceania thoughts

One MTH has sold me 21 shares (so in reports it says I have 110% of shares and it has -10%)--I assume that's a bug? In any event, having an auction event each turn for houses I don't want to buy all available stock in is a bit annoying--I'd like to have an option to stop generating decisions for auctions by that MTH, and an option on their page to bid when I see the start-of-turn announcement and are interested.
I've played several dozen turns, created about 20 MTH-related cards, bought shares in two, and opened several info/recon contracts, but have yet to see one to open negotiations for a transport contract. I know the randomly-generated card system is a core part of SH gameplay, but gating something this fundamental behind it seems problematic. Right now MTH's seem a rather high-overhead bit of flavor; if I ever get a transport contract I may use it, but based on my experience I'm not going to try a map where I might rely on them.
