@strutheo Like, if I recommend you a stock that pays a 20% special dividend, and ends flat, you will treat it as though it didn't make money even though it returned 20%?
@strutheo It's a thing that happens from time to time. I'm not making a recommendation right now.
Anyway, just enable automatic dividend reinvestment, which any broker will let you do.
@strutheo Oh, internationals, yuck.
But if you don't count dividends you are hugely discriminating against stocks that pay them. Some are significant.
@HarrisonNathan i might just decide when the 10 are chose, and only track it for those 10 and not the others...?
@strutheo Well, it's easy with the ones you choose, if you just reinvest the dividends. For others, it might be annoying. It probably won't matter for most, but if a stock pays a large dividend or is right on the line, it may make a difference. It will probably only be relevant to a few names anyway, so not a huge deal to calculate.
