Funny that you guys are talking about Newport, and how different folks would like to see it work. I've been having similar thoughts. One was to make it easier to correct errors directly without changing dates, etc. I'd also like to see Newport be more flexible in terms of cash management over the whole portfolio. For example, since I use a common cash pool in my IRA, wouldn't it be nice to have that option? So I was thinking if could make the current Newport work in that way.

What if I set up a holding called CASH in Newport and build back all my actual holdings with no cash? Then as I make each actual trade, I'd add/subtract $ to and from the equity and CASH. I could also post commissions, interest, dividends etc. to the CASH holding. The total return on each holding wouldn't be correct, but it's not anyway once you add cash after the initial allocation. But the overall return would be unless you add/subtract from the total Portfolio......I think.

Anyone have thoughts on this?
