The truth IS that Your UPDATES have NOT BEEN VERY WELL presented__with Your Numbers changing as YOU Discover having overlooked Where/How your numbers were calcuated
by you.
My ADVICE would be to From NOW On use the KISS principle__Keep IT Simple__and HERE is HOW to DO Just THAT.
As you know I too am a ScotiaItrade client__so HERE is HOW you should present ALL of US any Further Updates.
The Following SIMPLE Procedure WILL give ALL of US the Most Accurate YTD data__which DOES Capture ALL Your Account Activity on a DAILY BASIS__including all Dividends, Margin Interest, etc activity in Your Account.
You ARE an intelligent person so I am SURE you will be able to readily follow these instructions even though at first glance they may seem complicated__they actually are NOT so!__and I suspect that YOU will learn something NEW too with these instructions__YOU can Thank Me later eh !!!!!!
Here are step by step instructions.
Log into your ScotiaItrade account home page.
In the COMMUNICATIONS CENTRE @ upper right side, click on the Blue DOCUMENTS link - NOT the Tax Documents link.
On the follwing COMMUNICATIONS CENTRE page click on the CUSTOM SEARCH link.
Next if you have more than one account, click on the Drop Down button to select the Correct Account.
Next click on the ALL documents box to DESELECT this Default box setting, and then click/select ONLY the ACCOUNT STATEMENT box.
Now click on the Calendar icon to set the DATE - first click the Drop Down button to change from 2019 to 2018 - then click on the Drop Down button to change the month to December - then click on 31 to set December 31, 2018.
Finally click on the Red SEARCH link and this will bring up ALL your monthly statements from December 31, 2018 to the present time.
From here it is VERY simple to VERY accurately calculate your Total Return to Date.
First you Open up your December 31, 2018 PDF file and then look on the first page in the ACCOUNT SUMMARY and write down what your NET ASSET VALUE at the end of Last December was.
Next you simply look on the ScotiaItrade Logon Page in your ACCOUNT SUMMARY to see your Current NET VALUE for the Account you are checking (if you have more than one account you do NOT want to use the Consolidated Balance) - this value is UPDATED each night
so it WILL include ALL your trades made each day.
Finally you simply SUBTRACT your December 31, 2018 value from your Current value to see how much more Dollar Value you now have since the start of 2019 - and to get the % rate of return, you simply DIVIDE this Dollar Value by your December 31, 2018 value and multiply
by 100.

promisedcouple of days ago, I am now posting my updated realized gains on ALA that I sold on Wednesday. I had earlier posted that I had made $47318 in realized gains on ALA for the year. The updated figure is $60899 which I had thought was an additional $15K but it only turns out to have been $13.5K. The $15K was only a guesstimate and it turned out to be a little too optimistic, but a pickup of $13.5K is still nothing to sneeze at. As for those who continue to doubt me, let them doubt. I couldn't care less while I'm spending my money.

Nobody cares about your imaginary gains JG Shiester. If you really had all these huge gains wouldnt you be out spending all those imaginary profits instead of making b.s. posts everday.
Go get a lifer loser.
An account with a book value of over $19 million containing one stock with a book value of $7 million and he spends a lot of time on the Stockhouse bulletin boards -- what is wrong with this picture? Can you imagine yourself with those assets and what you would be doing?
Sclarda is once again providing to everyone that he is the biggest idiot on these boards. The book value above is the sum total of all the buys in my account and the settlement amount is the sum total of all my sells to date for the year. The difference is my realized gains. What an unbelievable idiot Sclarda is!
