Yeah, as I worked on this and thought about I realised it is pretty hard to make something that is totally universal because of issues like the ones you point out. A posting can -- at least in theory, though in practice I think it is probably uncommon -- refer to multiple securities, which then makes attributing performance impossible without some way to disambiguate. Similarly, income like interest/dividends isn't explicitly attributed to a security -- unless you go out of your way to make separate income accounts for each security, which feels a bit over-the-top. In my personal beancount files I set the payee to the name of the fund but you can't really rely on other people following that convention. I suppose you could use metadata. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Beancount" group.
