[GNC] Owning stocks which are not publicly quoted - which account type suits better?

[Kalpesh Patel]

If you want to track it properly then you would want to set it up as a "stock" and all of the workflows, such as setting up the security, that goes with it. This will then flow correctly into your report, like advance portfolio, if you ever wanted to generate them.

What makes you believe it shouldn't be?

Hi.
I'm partner and own stocks of the company I work for. This company is not on the public market.
The stock value is defined once per year and dividends are then paid out.

Do I understand correctly, that I don't have to set up a "stock" type account for this, as those stocks are not publicly traded?

And the dividends are an account of type "income" - right?

Thanks,
F.
