I have a question about dividends obtained vie the Company data sheet and a suggestion for the next version.
I'm currently running b-m on Libra office with Stockipedia selected as the dividend source and have added the following to the Company data sheet.
Code: Select all
/equity/Civitas_Social_Housing_Plc,Civitas Social Housing Plc,CSH,Equity Investment Instruments,CSH
Which works fine for prices but doesn't download any yield info. It's not a big issue as I can use the Sharecast Web button to look it up and enter the values, but I wondered what I got wrong.
I'd also like to make a suggestion for an experimental feature for the next version.
Currently the FTSE and FTSE all are downloaded when you update, which makes benchmarking against those indexes very easy. If however what was downloaded could be obtained from the Parameters sheet then we could change that to benchmark against something else.

Hiriskpaul suggested that people might want to use either iShares accumulating ETF SWDA (ISIN IE00B4L5Y983) or VWRL depending on their objectives..
Please let me know what you decide either way.
