[moneydance] Dividend Reinvestment

[William Callahan]

This, to me, has been the most significant feature absent from  
Moneydance. This would be a valuable addition, and I eagerly download  
each update with the hope that this has been added. Our current  
profit / loss numbers provided are useless in gauging investment  
performance, as they are inaccurate.

Of course, both are quite necessary, so we're not advocating the  
replacement but instead it is necessary to use two numbers, a  
principal investment basis and then a stepped up tax cost basis (from  
Capital Gain and Dividend distributions). The latter is the  
information currently provided, and both of these obviously apply to  
both funds and individual stocks.

Sean, if you have any questions about what we're requesting, I'd be  
glad to provide any further details (just send me an email).
