I have a stock that I purchase 400 shares for 10,485. Five years later it is worth 1,208. The 5 year lost is 9,277 or 88.5%. Quicken reports a annualized return of -35.62%. How is this calculated? I would have thought it would have been a simple calculation of:
((beginning value + earnings -ending value)/(beginning value + earnings))/#years
In the above example, the 5 year annualized return would be -17.7%
So how does quicken come up with -35.62%?
Look up the particular value you are seeing in Quicken Help.
It's still there! Curious, how do you think you can delete a post to a non-moderated NG once you hit SEND? I didn't think that's possible....once it's in the NG, it's there for eternity.
Andrew,
As I understand it, the author can delete his own message by clicking on the view options button. My orginal post is no longer visible. Yes it does exist somewhere on a server or archive. Since someone answered my post before I could delete it, you can see my post embedded in the answer.
This was theoretically possible in the beginnings of USENET, but I don't think that any servers recognize control code messages today. Once you send it, it stays with or without a reply.
