Advanced Portfolio and dividend in cash (was: How toregisteradividend in cash?)

[Jannick Asmus]

Thanks. Here another problem I could not solve yet: How is the sell of
shares appropriately accounted for sucht that the realized gains or losses
are shown in both the advanced portfolio and the P&L? Of course FIFO should
be applied.

How is that done? Any help would be highly appreciated.

Best wishes,
J.
