: Hi Jeffrey,

: Thanks. On the investment where you didn't own anything during the time period (Stock A), this was a bug. You owned a very small number of negative shares, which FM was supposed to ignore, but didn't. This caused the very large yields, as it was trying to solve the yield equation using very small numbers. I will get this fixed.

: On Stock B if you set the date range to the last 12 months, you had a ~35% gain in a 2 week period at the beginning of the yield term. You went in/out one other time, but that was nearly neutral. ROI yields are only affected by time when you own shares. Other times in the year where you didn't own any shares were not counting against you, so the very large annualized yield here is correct, although you only experienced it for about 2 weeks.

: Thanks,

on stock A, the negative amount was smaller than the 6 decimal places?

on stock B: FM figured the return as if the two week 35% gain was happening for the entire year?
