having bought doesn't seem as the correct construction in this context
a and e eliminated
b c d left
in d ; creates a confusion
these investors in the latter part doesn't sound right
b and c left
; in correctly joins two independent statement and is better
(C) imo

1) Modifier issue..
what should be modifying INVESTORS..
it should be modified by WHO as we are speaking about a specific group of investors...
only B and C left
2) having had to sell is again modifying ???
so a semi-colon and an independent clause thereafter is correct
C
