Dear all,

I have switched from Classical Protfolio to Deluxe Portfolio on MSN Money,
and found out that since this change all Cost Basis values are wrong and much
higher than the initial costs.

For example a share bought at 88,16 ( Quantity 100) and Commission 0.0
displays a Cost basis as 8905,93 . All investments in the Portfolio have only
one 'buy' transaction.

I tried to play with the Commission value, but never could get the right
Cost Basis Value, which remains much higher.

In Classical Portfolio this problem did not occurred.

Thanks in advance for your help

Any dividends paid?

No, no dividents payed.
I am using 2 PCs one using the Portfolio Manager essentials where
calcualtions are correct , and the other using the Deluxe Protfolio where I
have worn Cost basis.

I noticed that each investment can have an exchange rate. Though I put the
protfolio as US $, I am expecting that Cosbasis are expressed in US $ too,
setting the exchange rate in the investment equal 1.
Only if I put exchange rate tosomething like 1.5898 it will display the
right Cost basis display.

But still all values should be displayed in US $, since this is what I set
in the portfoli settings.
