: I'm trying to generate a report which lists the stocks I own, the date each was bought, the price I paid per share, the current (or selected date) price per share, and the gain (loss) in dollars/cents, and the gain (loss) in percent.

: I assume such a useful and basic report is available in this program but I'm having a devil of a job finding it. Anyone help out?

: Thanks.

Hi Wesley,

To create this report you would create a "Custom" report and add these
fields:

Current out of pocket invested per share (ending)
Share price (ending)
OOP Gain per share (current)
%Gain (current)

Note, there are several "date" related fields, but since you could
have purchased each investment on several dates, there isn't just a
"Date Purchased" field. To see the dates of your purchases create
an "Investment Transactions" report.

Also, the above fields assume you want the "Out of Pocket" cost, which
is your break even point. There are also similar "Tax Basis" fields.
The tax basis differs from your out of pocket cost due to received
distributions. When you receive a distribution your tax basis does not
go down, but your out of pocket cost does.

Thanks,
Mark
