Hi Mark
I have FM 6.8 Personal. If I buy and sell a stock within a certain time frame, the Portfolio Performance % gain-I seems OK. But if I buy and sell then buy within a defined time frame the Portfolio Performance gives me a strange % gain-I number. For example:

Portfolio Performance
ALL.mm4: 1/1/2006 - 12/29/2006

Inv. Name Beg Value Invested Dist. End Value Gain %Gain-I
Apollo 0.00 29,553 400 31,360 2,207 3.59
Lundin 0.00 14,539 0.00 42,893 28,354 60.42

How can a $28,000 gain on a $14,000 investment be 60%?
