: : : When I select "Capital Gains AVG" I only get a display of 9 different stocks (Some have more than 1 stock transaction listed for the same company, so it shows 18 different gains.) when in fact my portfolio lists 19 different stocks. how do I correct this to show total individual gains for each company, and show all 19 stocks, i.e 19 lines of gain for the different companies.
: : : Thanks, Dick

: 10/09/00 Thanks for the reply Mark. Then how do I get a projected, or current,gain figure on stock I have not sold, but wish to use the calculated gain to make a sale decision? In other words, I have purchased the stock, now on a given day what gain do I have, based upon my download of the present day price/value? Thanks again, Dick

Hi Dick,
You would use the Custom report with one of the fields:

Tax unrlz gain FIFO (end)
Tax unrlz gain/s FIFO (end)
Tax unrlz gain AVG (end)
Tax unrlz gain/s AVG (end)

These fields will tell you your unrealized gains in either total $ or
on a per share basis for either FIFO or AVG cost accounting methods.
If you choose "Help/Help on Report" from within a custom report you will
see a long list of fields and their descriptions.

Thanks,
Mark
