OT. Fidelity response about the incorrect performance numbers in my account: "Currently, information on this performance page does not support international trading activities done in foreign currencies. The purchase of foreign currency is treated as a withdrawal from the account, and the sale of foreign currency is treated as a deposit into the account. Additionally, foreign currency positions are excluded from the total market value and dividends paid in foreign currencies are not reflected in the dividend income column. As a result, the rate of return shown for your account may be higher or lower than if these items had been factored into its calculation. I apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused." This means that I won't be able to report my portfolio performance numbers based on Fido calculations. And I won't be able to doublecheck Quicken performance numbers against Fido performance numbers. At least they gave a professional and detailed response and did not try to stonewall this into "not our problem".
