Steve, I think post #8791 from Tom answers your question on Newport. Message 11478242 However, you have to realize that Newport was designed to produce graphs with a period of one week intervals. So, what value is Newport going to use for that graph? It uses the last value entered for the stock price. So, if you added shares at $15/share and then sold some later in the week for $18, Newport's going to plot the $18 value and ignore the previous value of $15. BUT ALL CALCULATIONS have been done correctly. Keith - Substitute Teacher

Hi Steve, "- Why, when I entered my second sell on COMS of the week in Newport; does the page shows the total # of shares sold in the recent trade window correctly, but the price as the second selling price? The notepad lists both sells correctly (#, price, date). Should I worry?" This is the way Newport handles such things in that little window. It looks at the total change in the number of shares from the previous week, but since it only graphs one price per week, it only saves the last price entered - in your case the second trade of the week. This causes NO Problems with the AIM math. It just looks a bit odd on the stock page. The Notepad summary is what's actually been recorded inside AIM's guts. Also if you printed out your TRADE HISTORY from the Print Menu it would also detail the sales, dates, shares and prices at which each trade was made. Hope this helps, Tom
