Hi Jack
Thanks for your comment. Well yield should be kept separate from dividend.
Often yield is treated different from dividend by investors and tax
authorities. Yield is more a gain of value and therefore often tax free income.
Therefore, ist should be kept separate. Anyhow, as the App support two
classification, it should be able to handle it.

Regards, Thomas
