re: "keeps yesterday's value and, apparently, uses that value as the starting

I believe that the price change is downloaded rather than calculated from the
numbers you have stored in your Money file: the previous day's price will be
adjusted if the stock goes ex-dividend or splits. Example: yesterday's close
was 28.50, but yesterday was the last day to be eligible for a 0.50 dividend.
Today, if there are no market changes, the shares should be worth only $28.00.
If the stock closes today at 28.05, this represents a *gain* of 0.05, not a
loss of 0.45. I am not sure that Money keeps adjusted close prices. Maybe that
has something to do with why Today's Change is not shown.

Of course it sheds no light at all on why you see the change for stocks but
not for mutual funds...

In M06, Portfolio Manager, the total shown at the bottom of view as Today's
Total Change does not, in fact, reset to $0 at the start of each day. It
keeps yesterday's value and, apparently, uses that value as the starting
point for the next trading day's gain or loss. Right now, for instance, on
Sunday, I'm looking at Friday's gain as Today's Total Change (TTC). If I am
correct about this, is there a way to reset TTC to zero at the start of each
trading day?

Thank you.
