The information in this article applies to:

 Microsoft Money 99 == Microsoft Money 98 == 

= SYMPTOMS =

The Monthly Report displays percentages in the following sentences that do not correspond to the actual performance of your holdings in the investment:

For the year,  is the big winner. It has gained % since January.

For the year,  is the poorest performer. It has lost % since January.

= CAUSE =

The Monthly Report is showing the percent increase or decrease in the price of the stock since the start of the year and that is not necessarily the same as the percent you personally gained or lost on the stock.

= WORKAROUND =

To see your actual percent gain or loss on an investment, follow these steps:


 * 1) Click Investments on the navigation bar.
 * 2) In the left pane, click Performance View.

Here you will see a “% Gain” column. This is where you can see your actual percent gain or loss on an investment.

= STATUS =

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article.
