    You enter the purchase price when you do a Buy. Microsoft Money remembers that and does the math when you later sell those shares. You do not enter the gain.

    You want to tick Portfolio->ChangePortfolioView->ShowClosedPositions.

    ChangePortfolioView is about the 4th selection down on the left of the Portfolio.  ShowClosedPositions is at the bottom of the list.

    In the Portfolio, you may want to add in the Appreciation column.
    That shows the appreciation or loss that would be recognized if
    you sold that position.

    There are also reports that may be of interest.

    If you want to see taxable CG/loss is for your stock to plan what
    to sell, especially if there is more than one lot to choose, take a look
    at the Capital Gains Estimator. In Money Plus add the CapitalGains icon to the top of Money screen using Shortcuts...

    CapitalGains->EstimateCapitalGainsTax

    It's a little tricky.
