I second this question. Should be relevant for Alphabet which is coming up as well.

After doing it, the Amazon price seems right, but the sell transaction is not registered in my history and my overall profit/loss does not seem right.

Hi there,

What do you mean by not registered in history? It should create a sell and buy transaction.

Why do you think so?

Cheers,
Evan

To remove the previous I did a sell 100 Amzn first as described in the tutorial. Although the Amzn was removed, there is no such transaction in my history now.

My previous profit/loss was around 400k before I entered the transactions. But after I did it, although my amzn shares volume and price is right, but my profit shot up to 500k+.

Hi there,

I see issues with the transactions → https://stocks.cafe/portfolio/transactions?label_ids=6105&filter=USX%3AAMZN

The sell transactions was wrongly entered to be 6 June 2002. (Should be 6 June 2022)

What I suggest.

  1. Remove the Sell Transactions on 6 June 2002.
  2. Remove the Buy Transactions on 6 June 2022.
  3. Use this link to handle the stock split → https://stocks.cafe/portfolio/transactions/tosplit

Evan - I did the above but the summary table now shows my Amazon loss (annualised PL) now at 100pc??

See - https://stocks.cafe/portfolio

Hi there,

Yes, that is a known weakness with this stock split. It is essentially resetting when you started “holding” Amazon.

And since 6 June split, the stock price paid was in the past where you first bought it which average to above 150 and now that the stock is only worth ~100, it is estimating that you have lost >30% in just a few days which annualized to >100% in theory and of course I kept that to 100%.

Hi Evan, I followed the guide to manage the stock split for both USX:AMZN and USX:GOOGL but both have red label on price value for both stocks. Am i doing anything wrong?

Hi there,

No worries. It is safe to ignore the red label prices in these cases.

The red label is simply saying that your price is not within the high and low range of that day. It is just an indicator to help user but perfectly fine to ignore in these instances.

Cheers,
Evan
