Quicken's investment performance reports and graphs can help you evaluate your investment portfolio and the price histories of your securities. Among other things, you can find out how well your securities are performing, view trends in the prices and market value of a particular security, view the annual total return for a specific security during a particular time period, see where your assets are allocated, and see a convenient report of all your investment transactions.
To see how your investments are performing, create an investment performance report or graph.
Most investment actions have a category associated with them. If you clear either the action or its corresponding category in the report, their transactions will be excluded.
