Thanks for the feedback on the submission and roadmap expectations.  While I
agree that a high level category of distributions can include dividends,
special dividends, stocks/company spin outs and the various capital gains would
obviously be preferred.  As a brand new user, I guess I am highlighting the
obvious.  As I get deeper into it, I certainly agree that Investments needs to
be better, I have some other feedback as I struggle getting my data into the
program, should I write those up as individual bug/wishlist items - what is
preferred?  Some are usability, others are feature support - futures and
options categories, etc.
