My old online brokerage firm (recently bought by E-Trade) used to provide what they called a "cost basis" on their statements. This gave you a rollup per stock of how much money (include the reinvestment of dividends) had been invested in each particular stock. I found this quite helpful in evaluating each stock's position. Is this something that others use regularly when reviewing a stock's position?
ETrade does not provide this information on their statements and my rep there tells me it's not available on the website either (had looked myself first to no avail). Am I the only one that finds that information valuable? I was told to manually add all the dividends up myself from each statement to get the number.
How do others go about evaluating a LTBH stock wherein you are regularly adding to your position through purchase and drips?
Thanks
