The pieces
Four Things That Make the Number Honest.
The short answer to each is here. The full guide is one tap away.
See What Your Investments Earned.
Gold by the gram, certificates at their balance and shares at their latest price, in one portfolio. Mohab’s is 752,486 EGP, and what it earned stays apart from the money he added.
Track gold, certificates and sharesKeep Dollars as Dollars.
A dollar account keeps its balance in dollars and adds up in EGP at the day’s rate. A holding’s gain splits into the price part and the rate part. Mohab’s dollar brokerage counts as 114,211 EGP.
Track dollar savingsLeave Out What Is Not Yours.
Money you hold for family stays in your account but out of your net worth. Mohab holds 6,900 EGP for family, and his balance still matches the bank.
