: : Hi Lou,

: : Yes, if you separate these investments into 2 separate (long and short) investments, the %Gain will then calculate.

: Hi Mark,
: I have fixed all stocks remove the ong/short issue. However, What do I do about my cash. There are times when it is negative and then I will never get a %gain calculation.

Hi Lou,

Yes, this would be rather inconvenient to fix. I'm currently thinking that we will add support for these "mixed" cases, and just treat them as if they were long. This is more similar to how they were calculated in 8.5 and earlier versions. This will prevent many of these "N/A" results. If you'd like to test out a pre-release of 8.7 with this change, please send us an email.

Thanks,
Mark
