Assets and Stocks tracking #326

Open aronsky opened 9 years ago

aronsky commented 9 years ago

Feature request: ability to track assets. I would like to be able to add my assets (with their appreciation/depreciation rate), and the value of those assets to be counted in my total net worth/balance.

A special case of assets would be a stock portfolio. I would like to input my trades, and be able to follow my portfolio's performance in the app, as well as see the total value of my portfolio as part of my net worth. (Maybe this should be a separate feature request?)

That's kinda way beyond the scope of an "expense tracker", you'd need to track stock/bonds values in various markets, value them (bonds valuation isn't trivial), taxation, etc. I'd rather have features related to expenses added first.

It doesn't have to be that complicated. I think that the implementation in Money Manager EX is perfect - it does not over-complicate things, but gives a good idea about what's going on with the invested money.
