: : : Hi...Mark, : : : Similar to the "Gain Graph Bug" I reported on 4/15/99,
: : : the "ROI gph" calculation does not seem to include
: : : transactions that are made on the starting date of the
: : : graph. Can this be corrected when FM 4.1 comes out? : : : Thanks,
: : : Gary : : Gary,
: : It works that way for all graphs, the "gph"
: : term of the yields starts with the ending value
: : on the beginning graph date. It probably would
: : be more consistent to have it start with the
: : value the day before the graph beginning date, so
: : that investments on the graph's beginning date
: : are included as transactions, and not beginning
: : value, in the yield equation. : : Thanks,
: : Mark : Hi...Mark, : Graphs, reports, everything should include transactions
: on the beginning date. I'm sure the vast majority of
: your users believes it should be done that way.
: Investors think about their gain/loss from the date
: they made their investment. In case of a new
: investment the previous day closing value
: (ie. zero) doesn't mean a whole lot. So I shouldn't
: need to start the graph, or report on a date
: previous to the first transaction of an investment. : Gary Hi Gary,
This has been incorporated in FM 4.1. Thanks,
Mark
