: Mark,

: Are the beginning values in the Portfolio Reports calculated using both share price and dividend data? If so, how may we modify the reports so this is not the case?

Hi Steve,

Value computations are made by multiplying the number of shares owned times a closing price on the date of interest. Dividends don't really factor in here, other than if you had a prior reinvested dividend that increased the number of shares you own.

Thanks,
Mark
