I don't think individual transactions have ever been present in
asset allocation (their results, yes; the transactions
themselves, no); nor can I imagine what they would be doing
there. Not having the transactions present doesn't cause me any
asset allocation difficulties. Speaking for Q2004, Q2005 and
Q2006.
As for the taxes; reinvested dividends appear in the Tax
Schedule report, the Tax Summary report, the aforementioned
Banking Transaction report, and the Income/Expense report (when
investing accounts are selected). They also appear in the Tax
Planner.
So other than the inconvenience of not having them in the
Itemized Categories report, I don't see a major impact to the
problem.
