I've just started using yahoo finance. I've only bought shares at atm.
I've added Portfolio->My holdings-> Symbol-> Lot
Under Lot what is the value to enter on Cost basis? Is it share cost per share or it's total cost for all shares?

Do you also enter a number of shares? If you enter the total cost do you get nonsensical P/L numbers?– D StanleyMay 31 '19 at 19:05

Yes, I've entered total number of shares. Yes I see something weird with total gain values.– DaveMSMay 31 '19 at 19:09

OK so try a per-share price. Do you see correct total gains now?– D StanleyMay 31 '19 at 19:37

Enter your cost per share. If you enter the cost basis of the entire position, you will have a monstrous gain (or loss :-)– Bob BaerkerMay 31 '19 at 20:36

Tx Bob, it is indeed cost/share.– DaveMSMay 31 '19 at 20:41
