  1. As of April 04, 2013 there appears to be errors in the tables of some Portfolios under the Portfolios tab. The errors are in Riding the Wave, Blyars Bottom Feeders and S&P 500 Stop Asc. In these strategies, several Loss fields are shown as Profits. The profit should be Market Value - Cost Basis. In many (perhaps most) cases this works out to be a Loss (red), whereas it is shown as a profit (green). These errors could have a major impact on the calculated Portfolio gain.

    Hi Albert. Thank you for the feedback, however the gains / losses shown in these portfolios are correct. The portfolios you mentioned each have short positions. When you sell a stock short we display the sale price in the “Cost Basis” field, and the gain / loss formula is reversed. Gain / Loss = Cost Basis – Market Value.

    Thanks,
    Paul
