See what I mean.

The question on averages, requires a definition before you can calculate it in a meaningful way(so that others can understand it).

This is soooo RIGHT!

While writing my SW I also wanted to put in an average purchase costs. But I could not figure out how to calculate it!. Oh, be sure, I could calculate several different types of averages, but none of them did actually make sense. They would yield a value, BUT SO WHAT?. What would be the meaning of such a value?. In the end I gave up, and consolidated the numerals on:
- Total Proceeds
- Total Expenses
- Realized Gain
- Stock Value
- Unrealized Gain
These are all the number I NEEDED.

Best,
