Long Description:
Capital Gainz is an investment portfolio manager that balances the
modest needs of the small investor with the complex requirements of
the professional investment manager. It's ideal for investors
following a 'dollar-cost averaging' strategy with mutual funds or
dividend reinvestment plans.
Record purchases, sales, and distributions with easy to understand
forms, and select records from scrolling tables. To record a sale,
specify how many shares to sell and the selling method: FIFO, LIFO,
max gain, max loss, specific ID, average cost. The shares selected are
displayed for confirmation or for a 'what-if' scenario.
You can calculate and compare a security's total return with your
actual realized performance, which factors in time-weighted purchases,
sales, and distributions. You can reinvest dividends, record splits
and conversions, and enter bond discount/amortization. Update prices
from a form, a file, or an online service. Updating a price will
adjust the value of all portfolios holding that security.
Capital Gainz provides several levels of detail and summary reports,
and you can restrict the information by date range, security, or
portfolio. Other reports include portfolio allocation, expected
income, and Schedules B and D from the tax forms.
An additional Graphics Program can generate price graphs, allocation
charts, and more. An additional Download Program can retrieve prices
from CompuServe or Prodigy.
Unlike popular retail software that inappropriately forces the
checkbook paradigm on users, Capital Gainz is designed solely to
manage investments. Thus, investors find it to be more intuitive and
'cleaner' to use.
Registration: $49 plus shipping and handling. Includes informative
300+ users manual and demo/tutorial. The Graphics Program is available
for an additional $15. The Download Program is available for an
additional $15. Requires: 80386 or better PC, DOS 5 or later, 2MB or
more of Extended Memory, 2.5MB or more of hard disk space, mouse.
