I'm confused

Mike,
The BMW 1 Series was retired at CSX$9.28. I was short 8785 shares. My portfolio seems to have retired it at CSX$9.28 (instead of CSX$90.72) as though I had owned the shares instead of shorted them. Can you check this?
Thanks.

We are looking at that. It's not an error per se, but just a display issue. We may not include those line items in the Transaction Lists anymore, because it's confusing to see the display like that. But at the same time, I would want people to see how much they made/lost on each retired stock without having to do the calculations themselves.
More on this later.

All my retired short positions showed up at the final 'real' price of the stock. I prefer that to the inverse short price showing up at at retirement. I am always considering the actual price of a retiring stock when I buy or short it.

We just changed that today to make it a little more easier to read.

I shorted the Lincoln MKS....it shows a short price of $75.49....the stock is has hovered around $25.00 and I've been in the red the whole time...can somebody explain where the $75.49 came from as I don't believe the stock price has even been that high?

it means you shorted at price of 100 - 75.49 = $24.51 per stock

hal9000 (love the name, by the way),
chung is correct. Also, see my post about the complicated short transaction here:
