: On my portfolio gain graph my portfolio shows a slight loss from 1/1/05 through 2/10/05. When I switch to the portfolio overlay graph, price + distribution, from 12/31/04 through 2/10/05 I find my portfolio ending at 100.02. Why does one graph show a loss and the other graph reports a gain?

Hi Linda,

A couple of ideas... Are you using the "Current" cost mode under "Graphs /
Options / Historical Cost"? Also, if you've had some transactions
within the date range of the graph, that will affect your current cost
basis and gain. For example, if you sold something in the date range
that would affect the hypothetical share price of the portfolio differently
than it would affect the gain. The gain graph will ignore any gains/losses
due to shares not owned on the ending graph date, where the hypothetical share
price will include them.

Thanks,
Mark
