ROI Calculations
----------------
PFROI V4.0+ calculates annualized ROI assuming 365 1/4 days/year. This is the
average days/year over a four year period taking into account the extra leap
year day. This means an investment gaining exactly 10% over a 365 day year will
show an ROI of slightly more than 10%, whereas an investment gaining exactly
10% over a 366 day year (leap year) will show an ROI of slightly less than 10%
for the year.
PRODIGY & Quicken
-----------------
CAPTOOL and PFROI now allow quotes to be directly imported from these Prodigy.
Transactions may also be imported from Quicken. See IMPORT.TXT for details.
Compuserve Users
----------------
IMPORTANT!: Do NOT specify the most recent available quote date for the
first date in the quote date range for quote retrieval types 3 or 4. This
is because CIS skips the prompt for the "ending date" if the "start date"
is the last available date, throwing the DataLink script out of synch.
If you wish to obtain the most recent quotes, modify script line #2 to
remove the second quote date prompt "<DT1>^R^W!".
Mono/Laptops
------------
Execute the program with "mono" on the command line (e.g. >captool mono) to
set a monochrome display.
Fundamental Data Downloads
--------------------------
CAPTOOL now provisionally supports download of ValueLine fundamental data
from Compuserve. To obtain downloads, enter the "Share Financials" display
from either Time Trends or Stockpar. Enter a blank record with ticker
symbol for each security for which you wish data. Include the fiscal year-
end month and day for each security record. Position the cursor on the
first record in the group and execute "Alt+L" command to enter the Data
Link module. Page to Compuserve script, then execute "Alt+A" to retrieve
data. Upon returning to "Share Financials" you should see your data. The
Current fundamental data download specifications may be seen by selecting
"5" on the Compuserve DataLink record.
