dividend amount. The share value and price shows prior to the enter
key being pressed. Once entered the price now shows 1000 which is
totally wrong. The register entry is correct but I do not want to
see 1000 as a price.<br>
I have noticed that any value enter on the investment register that
is less than 0.00 is shown as a 1000.<br>
On 2014 version I would rejig my register to show a profit on my
dividend reinvestment by buy a share at $0. Now in 2015 version it
shows that I paid $1000.<br>
This is basic maths</p></div>kevin.browntag:infinitekind.tenderapp.com,2009-01-14:Comment/371183222015-06-16T22:05:57Z2015-06-16T22:05:57Zdividend entries - price paid showing $1000<div><p>The 100, sometimes 10000 is a placeholder value. It does not
affect cost basis or other investment metrics.</p>

then why can’t I see zero</p></div>kevin.browntag:infinitekind.tenderapp.com,2009-01-14:Comment/371183222015-06-16T23:57:57Z2015-06-16T23:57:57Zdividend entries - price paid showing $1000<div><p>Tom,</p>
<p>While you may need a placeholder in the data record, I believe
in the register the user interacts with Moneydance should show
nothing, i.e., there should be nothing showing in the cost field.
Even a greyed out value is misleading.</p>

out. If I look back through the history then it is misleading.
You're taking a very personal view on what you think the customers
should have.</p>
<p>0 should show 0 should show 0 should show 0</p>

used in any calculations, there should be nothing shown in this

this issue..</p>

<p>I do all this because I want to show my dividends as
profit….</p>
<p>I transfer funds out from the register then purchase stock/etf
at $0.</p></div>kevin.browntag:infinitekind.tenderapp.com,2009-01-14:Comment/371183222015-06-21T21:41:36Z2015-06-21T21:41:36Zdividend entries - price paid showing $1000<div><p>Dividends in the hands of the recipient are normally classed as
income.</p>
<p>Why are you purchasing shares at $0? What is behind this
transaction, in other words how are you getting shares without
payment? This affects the cost basis and hence can impact capital
gains.</p></div>dwgtag:infinitekind.tenderapp.com,2009-01-14:Comment/371183222015-06-22T02:11:40Z2015-06-22T02:11:40Zdividend entries - price paid showing $1000<div><p>This is my way of dealing with my profits. I’m not a
professional investor and Moneydance is not a professional tracker
otherwise it wouldn’t have been released with so many
bugs.</p>
<p>I not getting into what’s right and wrong about my
philosophy. I swapped back to 2014 some time ago because of all the
problems. I recently retried 2015 but still didn’t like the
issues that I see as different from 2014. Which version has it
wrong – 2014 or 2015.</p>

(Net worth), price histories of investments, investment performance
etc. All because whenever a dividend is entered the share price is
set to 1.</p>
<p>If I had known about this bug I would not have purchased MD,- it
is not fit for purpose if you have investments.</p>
<p>Want a refund if it i not solved ASAP.</p></div>drdgolyatag:infinitekind.tenderapp.com,2009-01-14:Comment/371183222015-11-11T17:19:04Z2015-11-11T17:19:04Zdividend entries - price paid showing $1000<div><p>I am not experiencing this behavior. How are your transactions
coming into Moneydance, direct download or qif import?</p>

Moneydance thinks<br>
the return is -79.42%, it is clearly not.<br>
This error affects so many investments that this part of the
software is<br>
useless.</p>
<p>A report 'Investment Performance' is just crazy as so many the
reported<br>
return crazy number like -20000% !!!</p>

is the ratio between your cost basis and the current value.</p>
<p>One of our developers has been working on improving the
investment metrics in our reports. If you could send a screen shot
of an investment report showing these values and let us know which
version of MD you are using.</p>
