: Mark,

: The suggested features would actually involve no technical analysis at all - just summaries of trading activity that would be derived (by adding additional custom or standard report fields) from the buy and sell information that we are already entering into FundManager. Now that I think about it, I do realize that the request to graph this information may be stretching the design emphasis of the program. I really do think, though, that being able to generate this information in report form is a very logical extension of portfolio management. After all, the intent of portfolio management is more than just record keeping - isn't it also a diary of investment/trading activity that can be drawn opon to make future decisions?

: When I offered to send "a copy" of the material, I didn't mean photocopies, I meant your very own copy of the book that I would purchase for you from Amazon or B&N. The offer still stands. I am more than happy to do this because I suspect that my description of the process may have made it sound more complicated than it is. After reading the applicable 32 page chapter (no need to read the remainder of the book), you may very well be intrigued at the value that this capability would add. I know that some of the very pricey portfolio management programs have some very complex and, IMO, very impractical money management capabilities.

: Let me know (off list if you'd like), and the book will be on it's way. Really - it would be my pleasure.

Hi Tim,
Thanks for the offer, but I wouldn't feel right about accepting
the book... I can buy the book and check it out.
I agree from the descriptions you wouldn't need to enter any more
data in order to report those figures.

Thanks,
Mark
