Alexandre,

I think this would be a good thing to file as a wishlist at  
bugs.kde.org, so it doesn't get forgotten.

Also, before worrying about coding, and whether it could be a plugin or  
needs to be part of the core forecast or budgeting code, it would help  
if you could create a more detailed description of how it would work -  
what data to start with and what forumla(s) to apply, and how the  
results would look - either in budget or forecast or possibly even a  
specific investment report.

Minor issue, especially when replying to a digest, please consider  
trimming out anything not relevant to your reply (see my example below)

Thanks.

Jack
