: Yes, that is the objective... The reason that a synthesized price is used for
: the portfolio is that if you just normalized the value what happens when you
: take money out of the portfolio? The "value" goes down, but the share price
: of an investment you're comparing against doesn't go down. These graphs
: are trying to compare value against value and price against price. It is easy
: to get the investment price and the portfolio value, but the other 2 cases
: are not immediately available, so a synthesized value/price are used. I'm sure
: there are other ways to accomplish this comparison. If there are other ideas
: we can consider adding them into a future version.

After using FM for years now I was a little shock to find out the portfolio line in the "Price + dist" was not really using my actual portfolio. I'm sure if you try hard enough you can use all the information FM stores on investment transactions to create a 100% accurate portofolio line for the "price + dist" graph. But I'll drop the subject. Thanks for the responses.
