My First NAVsI'm rather new to the splits, and I would like to thank all contributors for their expertise shared in these forums, and a special thanks to mouserman for his relentless efforts to keep us all in the know regarding the NAVs.
I just started tracking NAVs for a few days now myself, and cross-checking my results with various postings. Today I think I'm fairly close to Golferman's FTN post, the dashboard and CDNINV1's FFN NAV posted earlier. I don't follow the logic of the dashboard, but 'correct' quadravest's posted nov 29th NAV value with the relative stock price changes (including any dividends on those) and the USD exchange rate differences since nov 29 for any of the US holdings in the funds. (to keep things comparable to the dashboard, I used the USD exchange rate posted there).
One note: Where mouserman calculates the rebate, I rather state the value advantage. Example: If the NAV indicates that the common should be priced at $10, and it is traded today for $9, there is a rebate of $1 (10%). But the other way of looking at this is when buying the common for $9 today, one actually gets a $10 value, so the advantage is that one gets $1 extra for the $9 spent: 1/9 = 11.1% value advantage
