I'm using gnucash 1.8.9 and the report has a "Total Return" column.
Technically, I think what we have been talking about is "Total
Return" (total return would be the appreciation plus dividend/capital
gains income divided by the cost, but the report does not appear to take
into consideration dividend/capital gains income). I believe "ROI" would
really be just the dividend/capital gains cashflow divided by the cost.
