REALIZED GAIN AND LOSS ANALYSIS RELEASE 2.11 PAGE 1 OF 3
This function is used to analyze realized gains and/or losses. A gain or loss
is actually realized when a purchase lot is sold. Items which had been sold
before the beginning report date or after the ending report date are not inclu-
ded in this report.
On this report each entry takes two lines, and there are two corresponding col-
umn heading lines. The upper column heading line (which is actually the second
line down from the top of the screen) corresponds to the upper line for each
entry, and the lower heading line corresponds to the lower line for each entry.
There are a few abbreviations: DATE ACQ. is the date the security was acquired
(purchased); MO-DA HELD is the number of months and days the security was held;
and ANNUALIZED RET. is the interest rate, compounded annually, at which COST
BASIS would grow steadily to SALE PROCEEDS during the time held.
The # OF UNITS is the number of shares (or other units) actually sold; there-
fore it will not reflect any stock splits or other distributions made AFTER the
sale. If you have processed a stock split or other distribution AFTER the sale,
the number of shares shown here may differ from the number of shares shown on
the transaction file maintenance screen, because in that listing all shares in
all purchase lots are adjusted.

You should have noticed the solid video block near the left side of the screen.
It can be moved up and down, and the display can be "scrolled" up and down, by
using the up-arrow, down-arrow, PgUp, PgDn, Home and End keys. In this way you
can "browse" through the items and see what you made or lost on each one. The
video block serves only as a marker, as nothing can be changed here.
Aside from "browsing" through the entries, the available menu choices are ex-
plained below and on the next screen page.
T = Totals by security type are displayed on the screen, along with the grand
totals. Items displayed include proceeds of sale, cost basis and gain or
loss.
F = Find the specified symbol. You will be prompted to type in an existing
stock symbol or other security identifier. The program will re-display the
screen in such a manner that the specified entry will be shown.
H = Help screen display - displays the information you are reading now.
X = eXit to the Master Menu.

P = Print all entries that were closed out between the report dates specified
when this program started, inclusive. The format will be identical to what
you saw on the screen, and in the same order. Totals by security type and
grand totals will be included.
After pressing P you will be asked if you want to pause between pages.
Reply Y (for Yes) if you are using single sheets or if you want an oppor-
tunity to adjust the printer after each page is printed; otherwise reply
N (for No). Pagination is automatic and assumes 8 1/2 by 11-inch paper.
No special printer features are used or required.
Printing begins on the line where the print head is at, so first make sure
the paper is loaded the way you want. If you have just used your printer
for something else, it may need to be re-set manually before starting.
You can press the Esc key at any time to stop the process. Printing should
stop after a few lines, depending on the size of your print buffer. If your
printer has a large buffer or you are using a print spooling program,
pressing Esc may not stop the printer.
