Cash Out / Value / Gain Analysis
Fig 3
Fig 4
Figures 3 and 4 show the same data in textual and report format. An animated flip between these
formats can be done by pressing the “Report” or “Chart” button at the top right of these figures.
In Fig 3, the following data is shown:
•
•
•
Cash out (in blue): cash spent on a particular stock taking into account fees and any cash
received back (eg: a sell or cash dividend)
Value (in purple): market value of the investment now (20 minutes delayed)
Gain / loss (in green): current gain or loss. This is Value – Cash Out.
General observations that can be made from the graph in Fig 3 are:
•
•
•
•
AGF, ALL, CTR are currently loss making
CML made a gain, but has zero cash outlay and zero market value. This is because all
units were sold during a takeover
Similarly, CRZ made a gain but all units have been sold
CTR is loss making. There is still cash outlaid but no market value. This is because the
stock was liquidated and the investment outlay was never recovered (no compensation
received)
Fig 4 shows the same data in textual format. This is useful when exact numbers are required.
Some people prefer reports to charts and vice-versa.
