Posted by ps56k on June 24, 2009, 9:14 pm Please log in for more thread options I've been thinking about my Vanguard Bond Index fund - VBMFX - and was looking at my Q2009 holdings vs security detail. I put in $10k back in 2007, and every month since then is a dividend of about $42 which are re-invested... The Quicken fund overview screen just really shows Market Value vs Cost Basis which today are $11,291 and $11,173. BUT - there is nothing that really shows the ROI of the monthly dividends... which is about 4.80 % - in fact the Overview and Recent Perf screens would have you believe that the perf is only a 1.06 % gain... SO - I'm a little skeptical of Quicken's info with regard to dividends...vs performance... -- ---------------------------------- "If everything seems to be going well, you have obviously overlooked something." - Steven Wright Similar Threads Posted CD or Bonds in Quicken Premiere January 5, 2008, 6:10 pm Quicken Ability to Deal with Options and Bonds July 5, 2009, 2:14 am Investment Perf Report - divs vs re-invest gains January 2, 2007, 12:07 pm Bonds March 24, 2007, 11:47 am Class bonds that become Class B bonds July 26, 2006, 11:05 pm Understanding Bonds December 22, 2006, 5:44 am Importing Prices into EE Bonds July 7, 2006, 6:01 pm How do I add Savings Bonds to Investments December 14, 2007, 3:08 pm How do I enter current market value for Canadian bonds and funds that Quicken does NOT get Market Value for?
