[GNC] Changing from one year to the next

[R Losey]

I suppose it could be... shouldn't the brokerage account be a summary of
the value changes in the various holdings?  'Cause it's definitely not. The
holdings show only three items have had activity this year; one dividend
and three sales. Thes sales were transferred to the sweep fund; I think
that the net change from selling should therefore be zero. That leaves the
dividend and the transfer in; the sum of these ought to be the year-to-date
change in the brokerage account (or so I think).
