How to enter asset management fees?

[Daniel Hannum]

I believe that is the right way to represent it. It's a sale of shares. 

The problem is that the Advanced Portfolio Report doesn't handle
"advanced" cases very well. Actually, I believe it ignores "money out"
in it's return calculations. I do NOT think it treats them as return.
Are you sure about that?
