reports should both give you that information. Brian Moneydance

<p>Thanks for the suggestions, those reports do help.<br>
The Cost Basis gives me the information I want, but it also
includes re-invested dividends. The re-invested dividends are not
really money I contributed - they are part of my return.<br>
Is there any way to count re-invested dividends as part of the ROI
or to remove the dividends from the cost basis report?</p></div>jptag:infinitekind.tenderapp.com,2009-01-14:Comment/1233312009-04-13T13:59:02Z2009-04-13T13:59:45ZReturn on Investment<div><p>JP, re-invested dividends should be included when considering
Cost Basis. I found several references on the internet just to be
sure. Please refer to this article:

re-invested dividends unnecessarily increases your tax burden.</p></div>Brian Adler
