Do you have multiple buys or any dividends that may have changed the cost base?
Hello Jack,
There are no dividends for AXE Archer Materials or multiple buys.
Cheers William
Hello Again Jack,
In my last reply I stated there were no multiple buys…just to be clear what are Multiple buys.
Cheers
William
So by this I mean did you buy all your units at once, or have you been buying in different instances?
hello Jack,
I have been buying and selling AXE from 15.01.2020 to 29.09.2021
Cheers William
Hi, I think I know where you’re going wrong. The way you’re calculating the cost basis is not correct. Taking a simple example:
Buy 100 shares @ £1.00 each
Later sell 50 of those shares @ £2.00 each.
Using your calculations cost = £100 and returns from sales = £100 therefore the cost basis is £0.
However the actual cost basis would be the cost of the 50 remaining shares - so 50 @ £1.00 = £50.
Obviously it’ll be more complex when shares are purchased and sold over time, but that’s the basic principle.
Hope this helps.
Thanks
Chris
How do I show a column with average cost per share on my summary page? I’m new to Sharesight, but assume a feature so basic must be available…
Hi @keiron12 the tables in our overview page cannot be customised. This is something we are considering to add in the future, but I’m unable to confirm a timeline on this one at the moment.
Currently average cost price is only available in the individual holding page.
