: Sorry, but I'm still unclear about what to send. You're instructing to send an investment, as in the money market investment record? The problem appears to be with ROI calculations that involve multiple investments as presented in a report.

Hi Steve,

Thanks for sending the investment file. I too see a very large ROI. The reason is that all of your transactions are recorded at a cost basis of $0. Normally, in a money market you would record your purchases and sells at a price of $1/share, instead of $0/share. You can edit them in the Data Register with the "Investments (all)" data type selected.

Thanks,
Mark
