MONEY v2.60 - User Tips
There are several aspects of this program that may not
be clear to some people. What follows is some brief
information about the program and what appears on the screen.
1) On the charts, returns are displayed as decimals.
To convert them to percentages just multiply each number by
100.
2) The transactions chart records all transactions that
are made. The number of shares listed is the TOTAL number of
shares that you own, not the number that you bought or sold.
The dividend listed is the SUM of all dividends received.
3) To find out how many shares that you bought on a
particular day, first look on the transactions chart for any
changes in the value of STOCK SHARES. Then subtract the
lower number from the higher number located above (or below)
that. This will give you the number of shares that you
bought or sold. Then look across the chart under the column
labeled TODAY`S DATE to find out when the transaction
occured.
4) To find out how much of a dividend that you received
on a particular day just follow the same procedure described
for #3.
5) The weekly t-bill rate is calculated by dividing the
given t-bill rate by 52. This number is used in some
financial calculations (not in this program) to determine
individual stock performance.
6) The stock returns are not actually the returns that
you receive on your money, but rather the returns on your
stock. What's the difference? This program calculates the
returns on your stock so that you can compare the results to
the market returns as well as the prevailing interest rates
that are available on other investments such as savings
accounts, mutual funds, and T-BIlls. What this program DOES
NOT do is calculate the returns on your money. This would
involve calculating the returns on each block of shares that
you purchase at the price that you purchased them at.
Instead the returns are based on the price that you first
purchased the stock at and the current price.
7) As indicated above, the Buy Price of a stock is the
price that the stock was initially purchased at. If you
subsequently buy more shares of stock the price that you
bought those shares at will NOT be saved by the program.
Instead, you can look on the transactions chart to determine
when you purchased more stock and the current price that it
was purchased at.
