    I was wondering what tool/site people use.

    I bring the data I need in and calculate what I require. I figure I should just trust one of the tools and save myself some time.

    I have been using sharesight.com.au lately and it is great for putting in backdated buys to see the performance over time in a "what-if" sort of way. You can also set it to automatically re-invest all dividends. Still getting acquainted with it but it has been really useful thus far.

    Thanks Pier1. Agree. Better to be informed though.
