An investment gain graph shows incorrect gain value.
I brought 1000 shares of XYZ stock on 4/7 at $16.25.
XYZ is a new investment for me so the price data
also starts on 4/7. XYZ closed at 16 on 4/7. XYZ
closed at 15 on 4/14. So the graph should display
a gain of -$1250, but it displays -$1000. The program
is using the closing price of XYZ on 4/7 to calculate
the gain, which is wrong. It should use the actual
transaction price of 16.25. Now the reports I generate
gives the correct value. The XYZ.dat file did start
life as a FM3.4 file, and was converted to FM4.0 along
with all my other *.dat files. Gary
