<h2>Stock Portfolios</h2>
|
|
You can do stock transaction either from a single-stock window,
|
|
or from a portfolio-view window, shown below.

The portfolio ledger can be a bit daunting at first sight.
|
|
If you have trouble understanding it, then stick to creating
|
|
accounts which have a single stock in them.
|
|
Some important points to remember about the portfolio window:
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Its shows all stocks for your portfolio, not just some.
|
|
The share amounts shown are for each particular stock.
|
|
<li>Notice that it uses a two line display. Debited
|
|
accounts and debited amounts are on the upper line, and
|
|
credited amounts and accounts are on the lower line.
|
|
<li>If you buy or sell a stock with money from the brokerage
|
|
account, the total balance will not change, since the
|
|
value of the stock equals the amount of money exchanged.
|
|
<li>If you buy or sell a stock with money from the brokerage
|
|
account, the value of the transaction will appear twice,
|
|
once in red, and once in black. If shares are purchased,
|
|
the amount of money debited from the brokerage account will be
|
|
in red, and the value of the shares in black. If shares are
|
|
sold, then value of the shares is in red, and the money
|
|
credited to the brokerage account in black.
|
|
<li>If you are having trouble indicating a share purchase/sale
|
|
in the portfolio ledger, then make sure that "Transfer From"
|
|
and "Transfer To" accounts are in the right order. A
|
|
transfer from a stock account is always interpreted
|
|
as a sale, even if you entered the data as a purchase.
|
|
The vice-versa is also true.
|
|
<li>Someday, X-Accountant will be enhanced with a simplified
|
|
portfolio ledger window.
