OK, I may be dense here, but if I am reading this help text correctly for the Portfolio/Investment Overlay graph:
"Value:
This graph plots the actual portfolio value and an equivalent hypothetical value for each selected investment. The hypothetical investment value starts off at the same value as your portfolio on the beginning graph date. This hypothetical investment value is displayed as if you had invested all your money in just this investment. When you take money out of (or put money into) the portfolio, the same amount is also taken out of (or put into) the investment. When overlaying investments and multiple portfolios, the "Reference Portfolio" will be used for the hypothetical investment value calculations. (See the Overlaid Portfolios Dialog)"
I thought I should be seeing an roughly equivalent increase in both portfolios when I invested $10,000 in the reference portfolio, but I am not seeing it reflected in the overlaid portfolio.
Second question is: What are the two numbers in parenthesis in the legend? I can't seem to find any definitions for these, and they are not modifiable in the legend text. The overlaid portfolio has a negative number in there, even though it increased in value.
I would have provided a screen shot, but I have no place to store it on the web. I can email one if it would help.
