I am looking for a program (or just a formula would do - I could write the program) that figures out your total annual rate of return based on monies that were invested at different times. For example: DATE AMOUNT INVESTED ---- --------------- 1/1/90 $1000.00 2/1/90 $1000.00 4/1/90 $2500.00 On 7/1/90 you have $5000.00. Your profit was $500.00 after 6 months on an investment of $4500.00, but you had $1000.00 invested for 6 months, $1000.00 invested for 5 months, and $2500.00 invested for 3 months. What is your annual rate of return on this investment? (It's not simply 22.22%.) The program I am looking for would read a file to get the list of investments made, and would also have a mode where you could enter new investments which would be written to the file. As I said above, if someone could provied me with a formula to calculate such a thing, I will write the program and post it if there is interest (no pun intended). Thanks! -- Larry Martell uunet!st-andy!larry 212-668-9478

If you are not familiar with anonymous ftp or mail servers, I am prepared to send prerecorded instructions on request. (If you don't get the instructions from me within a few days, it will mean that your email address cannot be reached by a simple email reply. Contact your system manager for devicing a proper mail path for you, because unless you do, you wouldn't be able to utilize the mail server anyway. If you are in North America first consider using an ftp site near you to spare the overseas load.) ...................................................................
