| Re: Annual Returns Calculation Because everybody else has the luxury of assuming the return on $1 invested all year and Money has to deal with Money flow into and out of the investment? If you'd had $10,000 invested in ABC at the beginning of the year, sold it for $10,500 at the end of June and Money is reporting something like a 10% annual rate of return and now everybody else is reporting that ABC is up 100% on the year--your $10k would be worth $20k if only you'd held on--would Money reporting your rate of return as 100% make you feel better about it?

| Annual Returns Calculation Money states the following: An annualized percentage return is the annual profit on an investment as a percentage of the amount invested. Money uses the Internal Rate of Return (IRR) formula to calculate the annualized percentage return on each investment. Why does money use IRR when nothing else uses this. Morningstar, CNN Money etc etc etc? The returns shown on my portfolio in money do not equal anything else. |
