: Mark,
: another question, just to make sure I understood correctly. So, clicking "reinvested", as you suggested, is the right thing to do for other types of negative entries, like "account fees", and for positive entries as well, like dividends, as long as I want that the total value of my portfolio will reflect the increase / decrease in cash. Basically, clicking "reinvested" for my cash account entries make sure that those (positive or negative) entries are considered in the calculation of the portfolio value. Am I correct?
: Thanks

Hi John,

By clicking "reinvested" you are taking the proceeds of that distribution and buying (or redeeming in the case of negative values) more shares in that investment. The distribution is always taken into account in performance calculations, no matter whether you reinvested it or not, but your investment share balance (and thus value) will be adjusted if you take those proceeds and buy more shares of that investment.

Thanks,
Mark
