Welcome antn7887, this is definately the place to come. Have you been reading here for a while or is this your first time here?

I believe you will find all the info you will need from all the great people here.

Go to the members introductions area and say hello! (or maybe a mod will just move this post):D

Divide your gains year to date (minus contributions) by your starting sum as of 1/1/07.

Example:

Starting sum: $1000
Gains: $35

35 divided by 1000 = .035 or 3.5%



If that doesn't work, then it just demonstrates what I have known for years... I am not really that good at math :)

Good Luck!
