| Re: Incorrent gains in portfolio I guess I didn't really take that into consideration. I do have Long/short term cap gains dist as well as a dividend. Thinking this through now....My initial investmet was $686 but with my cap gains and dividend I received roughly $40 so that would make my cost basis $726 correct? However, only the initial investment of $686 came out of my pocket. If the current value of that fund is $642 then my loss is $42(initial inv - market value) as opposed to $84(cost of everything - market value). I guess what I'm not grasping at the moment is how Money says my loss is only $4. That is what is perplexing me and what seems to be throwing my numbers off. I've comapred the transactions in money with my brokerage account to make sure the dates, prices and quantities are correct.

| Incorrent gains in portfolio I'm using Money 2006 Deluxe. So riddle me this.....How does Money figure that I have a $1.32 gain when my cost basis is $724.71 but the current value is $647.45? Correct me if I'm wrong but that is a loss of $77.26. I've got about 7 different inventstments where the cost basis is higher than the market value but Money shows that there is a gain instead of a loss. I even started a new file and manually put in all of the transactions and it still did the same thing. Has anyone else had this same experience? If so, what did you do to fix it? Thanks, Mark |
