Tracking income realization (regardless of lot tracking) helps me build insights about my portfolio. Over-simplified example: 2015 Buy 100 HOOLI at $1 each 2016 Sell 100 HOOLI at $5 each 2016 Buy 100 ORNG at $5 each 2017 Sell 100 ORNG at $1 each Insight: overall $0 gain, but that came from +$400, then -$400. Realized income tracking lets me understand that. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Beancount" group.
