: I have a portfolio of stocks with some investments beginning from 2.28.97
: I request a performance report for the period 12.31.98 - current.

: In the performance report, the "beg value" column should reflect value as of 12/31/98.
: That column does not at all report the value as it should be. In some instances, it picks up the cost and in some, it picks up the value based on prices from prior months to 12/31/98.

: In such instances, I went in to check if closing prices were available for 12/31/98. They were actually available and I am baffled as to why this is happening.

Going thru the file, it appears that the FM picks up the last valuation available prior to the requested date. i.e. if I ask for a report for 12/31/98 to current and I have prices for the follwing dates
12/31/98
11/30/98
the begin value will pick up value based on 11/30/98's price

Maybe there is some default that is not set right which I am not aware of. Thanks,
