Unrealized Cap Gains Report: Q2007 Premier Bill Cohagan 12-04-2006

 Surely there's an easy way to do this and I'm overlooking it, but I'm
stumped. What I want is a report of unrealized capital gains, much like
what you get if you just do a "Portfolio Value" report; however that report
does not include the ACQUISITION DATE for the individual stocks (and/or
lots). I need those dates since I don't want to sell something like 1 day
before it qualifies as LT!

So, my question is, how do I get a report containing this information:
Stock/lot, cost basis, acq. date, current value, LT/ST Gain ?

Thanks in advance,
Bill

Use the Capital Gains Estimator (Investing menu).

Or ...


Customize a view on the Portfolio tab in the Investing Center.
In addition to whatever other values you want to see, include
the "Holding Period". Possibly also include "Tax Savings Next
Period".

Thanks for the suggestions. The Capital Gains Estimator seems to be
oriented towards individual stocks rather than an entire portfolio -- unless
I've missed something. I'll try the other suggestion re the Investing
Center.

Well I tried the Investing Center Portfolio tab as you suggested; however
I still cannot get the necessary info. I've customized the view and
specified the "Holding Period" column, but the display shows no information
in that column! What am I missing?

Thanks again for the pointers.

Click the "+" by each security to see the individual lots and
their holding periods.

From your first post:

From your previous post:

Indeed. How else to get the "acquisition date for the
individual stocks (and/or lots)"? Individual "lots" are the
only thing that counts for determining short/long term gains.

I don't see what your reluctance is about individual lots;
without considering lots, I can't make any sense out of your
original question.
