Just curious, how do you guys calculate your stock returns? Assume there is no tax. Which of the two methods below is the most accurate?
Basic info:
Purchase price: $10 * 1,000 shares = $10,000
Purchase fees: $10
Selling price: $15 * 1,000 shares = $15,000
Selling fees: $15
Method 1: [(15,000 - 15)/(10,000 + 10) - 1] = 49.70%
Method 2: [(15,000 - 15 - 10)/10000 - 1] = 49.75%
I mean I know it's not much of a difference, but still compounded with many different stocks it could make a very slight difference in the long run. Also, just want to get the facts right.
