If i bought $1000 dollars worth of stock on May 3rd, 2006 when the price was $28.78 and sold all of it on December 10th of 2008 where the price was $25.77

    34.746352 shares x 28.78 = $1,000.00

    28.78 – 25.77 = 3.01 per share loss

    3.01 x 34.746352 = 104.58651 (rounded up = loss of $104.59)

    or
    $1,000.00 (purchase cost) – 895.41 (sell value) = -104.59

    I agree with AL in Nc You must also include your buying and selling costs
