Hot Tip :
What does it mean if something is listed in red and parenthesis?
- In the Net Amount column, this indicates a negative number. The net amount for buys and short covers is always negative because it is the amount of money that was paid out (or subtracted) from your portfolio in order to buy or short cover the stock. Interest paid on a margin loan will also appear in red and parenthesis because it is money paid out (or subtracted) from your portfolio.
- In the Fees & Commission column, this indicates a negative number. All fees and commission will be negative because it is money paid out (or subtracted) from your portfolio.

Corporate Actions
A ticker with a Net Cost of zero with INF (meaning "infinity") as its % Unrealized Gains/Losses indicates the shares associated with this ticker were derived from a corporate action. This can be as simple as a change of a stock symbol name or as complex as a ticker derived from a forward or reverse split. Company mergers and stock splits are the two most common corporate actions. You will be notified in advance of such actions when possible. Usually corporate actions are detailed in company press releases and you are encouraged to keep an eye on the company news for your held tickers as well.
If a corporate action replaces currently held shares of stock with shares of another stock or stocks, corresponding entries can be found on the Transaction History page. Teams should compare the original cost of the position from Transaction History and compare to Current Value on the Account Holdings page to determine the true gain or loss.
