Stock Price Shares Value Cost Change

THE $37.47 1.083 $40.57 $37.80 -1%
XTO $47.06 0.431 $20.31 $46.93 0%
Brian Total = $101.19

it caught my eye that he was up 1.19%.

PTEN shows down 1% but up from $40.00 to $40.31.
THE shows down 1% but up to $40.57.

Each share count above is wrong.

It seems for a $40 position and a cost of $26.05, PTEN should be 1.536 (rounded) shares and 40/26.05 shares which you display only to 3 decimal places.

THE should be 40/37.80 shares, and XTO should be 20/46.93 shares.
