Should ASSET_DIVIDEND signatures be considered similarly to regular dividends in cash flow? #23

Hello, I +1 this issue. I think I'm running into the same issue where the return is not computed as I would expect and I couldn't find the reason why in the "Beancount - Calculating Portfolio Returns" document. At least if it's on purpose, it would be nice to document the reasons behind that. |

When computing the returns of an asset, transactions of type ASSET_DIVIDEND are not considered. That makes the return rate computed by beangrow substantially different to rates reported by fund managers. I could not find any justification as to why these transactions are ignored when computing the return rates, and this seems to confuse me as well as other users. See beancount#23 and beancount#26 At least with this small patch, users get a chance to try and see if they get the result they expected.

Hello,
ASSET_DIVIDEND is not treated like a regular dividend, and I can't separate them in cash flow plots, nor in return calculations. Is that done on purpose?
Splitting the transaction in two legs works (dividend to cash account, and cash account to asset) as expected.
