: : : Hi,
: : : I like to move in and out of a position, sometimes in stages. I also keep some charts in my portfolio even when I have no shares, to keep the prices current. I find that the yield/return scale on the right side of the price+distribution chart does NOT show the correct value. In particular, if I've added to my position at different purchase prices, or sold part of the position, it doesn't seem to take this into account, only using the value at the left (beginning) end of the chart.

: : : How can I get a true yield to show on these charts?
: : : Rich

: : Hi Rich,
: : The % numbers on the right side of the Price + Dist. graph are not
: : yield numbers. They are the %gain in the price + dist. from the start
: : of the graph. The yield #'s are shown along top if you have "View/Yields"
: : turned on.

: : Thanks,
: : Mark

: Mark, thanks for the answer. I do have "View/Yields" turned on and they show the same ludicrous results.

Rich,
Why don't you e-mail us an example.

Thanks,
