Newbie Q - Buying and Selling Capital Assets without keeping track of unrealized Gain or Loss

[Suresh Bazaj]

John,

	You are correct. I use Schwab Street Smart Edge to track performance
and all kinds of other information.

	I am using GNUcash simply for filing tax returns and year end
reconciliation of books.

Thanks,

Suresh

Suresh,

That's OK, but it does lock you out of repricing your portfolio or using the
Advanced Portfolio report to track performance. That might not be an issue
for you if you use other tools for that.
