i'm not sure i follow.... profit and loss in money95 is based on historical costs not market values at month end.. the unrealized gains are compared to the average cost base. to get $124 loss on money95 your cost would appear to have been 10.56 on the original 100 share purchase.. no wonder its confusing. dec31 MV 6.938 x 300 shares = Total MV - 2081.50 6.938 cost - dec purchase 200 x 5.75 (1150.00) 5.75/avg then cost of existing nov must be (1055.50) 10.56/avg --------- loss (124.00) ========= avg cost (1150+1055)/300 = 7.35 is this true in your example? i think the nov 6.75 price is not relevant. even so - if there were mistakes (such as this?) inputed into a different program, like hia, it can easily be overlooked. it just would be nice to have everything you want in one package. take care. hart
