Interesting, if this is correct it sounds like a bug.  What do you have for the “Price Source” option?  In the English version the choices are “Nearest in time” and “Most recent”.  The first picks a price nearest the report’s date and the latter the most recent in the price DB.  These will likely be the same if the report’s date is today.  I tried setting the report’s date to March 31 and both options seened to work correctly.  I can’t see how it could use the stock’s purchase date for the price since the code that is getting the current value doesn’t even know when the stock was purchased.
