It ignores the Return of capital in the analysis. i.e., a bug.

Another return of capital bug is that Money accepts a negative
value, but treats it as a positive return of capital: it reduces the
basis.

I have an unusual investment which money shows as having
a negative return when in fact it is positive. Take this
simplified example: 1 Jan 2000 buy 1000 shares [at] $100, on
1 Jan 2001 buy another 1000 at $100, and on 1 Jan 2002
buy a further 1000 [at] $100. On 1 Jul 2002, receive a
dividend of $150,000. On 1 Jan 2003, the company makes a
full return of capital of $100 per share or $300,000
total. As of 1 Jan 2003, after the return of capital, the
share value is $30 each.

Money shows the return as ROI all dates minus 20%, annual
return minus 10.1%. Quicken shows annual return as
32.36%, which is correct. What is wrong with Money's
return algorithm???
