I believe you guys are talking past one another due to the terminology
"Portfolio View" John Pollard is pointing out that what you want is
available on the Portfolio View within the Investing Center (Not the
Summary tab of an individual account). There you can include ROI,
reinvested income, income and other measures which I believe will give
you what you are looking for in a money market security. (BTW if you
click on the header in the portfolio view of the individual account
register you will also see that that measure is a tax view, i.e. gain as
a percentage of cost basis)
