I'm looking for PC software that will allow me to track investments in
stock funds, bond funds and the like. Ideally, the software would
compute annualized yield on investment after having input dated
transactions.

I've looked already at most of what's available along these lines on
SIMTEL and GARBO with little success. The best I've found so far is
SPRM24.ZIP, which is not too bad, except it only reports a gross
percentage profit/loss that is independent of the timing of
purchases/sales (e.g., if you earn $1 on a $100 investment it always
reports 1% profit regardless of whether you've held the investment a
day, a week, or a year).

PD/Shareware is preferable, although I'm not averse to buying
commercial software if its good. 

Any suggestions?
