Hey Trey ---


You're all doing way too much work!! Way too much math!!


Okay - let's see if I can explain this.


Go to Google Finance..... call up the stock you want to check out your gain and get the chart set to say One year -- if that's all the longer you've owned it... now look at the top left of the chart... there's DATES there... if you click on the dates you can put in the date you want s -- so let's say SEPT 03, 2013 until todays date... Just change the date in the from box --- leave todays date in the other box alone... hit enter. MOVE YOUR MOUSE OUT OF THE CHART BOX and you'll see the percentage of increase (or if you suck - decrease) and the point gain.
