 And I imagine I have my investments on the books as other current assets once I start to add the investments. We're also going to have an issue of what happens when the investments go up in value. Usually the standard rule for generally accepted accounting principles is we don't adjust for the increases and decreases in the value because they're temporary. We have not yet realized them. That's the rule we use for like equipment or property planting equipment because we use a depreciation method that allocates the cost over the time as opposed to trying to value the equipment over time. But if we invest often the argument is if you invest in real estate, then the real estate might go up in value and you should be using fair market value is the argument. Now the problem with fixed assets and trying to record them at fair market value is that we don't know what the fair market value is because it's just an estimate and if you allow people to make estimates based on it then they're probably going to start that's an area where they can distort things and whatnot. But if you look at like investment accounts they you can know pretty clearly what they're valued at at any given time. They might be over or undervalued on the market but you do know what the market is currently trading them for if they are investments currently trading on an exchange. So that gives us the capacity to be a lot more sure about any given time what the value is at least for that particular point of time because other stocks are trading at the same value. So there's a better argument in my mind to say okay I am going to adjust my investments according to fluctuations in the market possibly monthly possibly quarterly. I'm not going to try to adjust it every day because again I could use for just valuation purposes I could use other software to do that like a personal capital and I can use the running charts within the actual you know my investment software. Here I just want to adjust it periodically so I can see the snapshot and see it with everything else as well as populate the income statement in accordance to those changes. Now when we when we record an increase or decrease in the value of an investment then the next question is well what are you going to record the other side as is it income even though you haven't sold the inventory or you can put the other side into equity. I think most people would record it as income because it's the easiest thing to do and so and I would report it as other income kind of at the bottom of my income statement because it's not the main source of income that we'll be dealing with. So we'll get into some of those issues shortly for now. So for now let's say if you just start off your investment account let's imagine there's a beginning balance in it so I'm going to go back on over to the tab to the left and the register I just set up is this pry america so I'm going to imagine before we set up the bank feeds there's already a beginning balance in this account so I'm going to add I'm going to I could go into the register and add this this is the same kind of beginning balance kind of situation you might have with the checking account so I'm going to say all right I'm going to add let's say a deposit type of transaction I'll make it as of the day before we started the current year which is I'm going to say 12 31 to 1 and I'm not going to put a pay I'm just going to say this is the beginning balance and I'm going to say it's an increase of let's say it was 10 000 I'm just making up a number here the other side I'm going to put into the equity owner's equity account now I'm putting it into owner's equity because it's not income it shouldn't be on the income statement it's also in the prior year so it's before we started doing the income statement in the current time frame so it's not going to really affect the income statement in the current time frame due to both of those kind of checks and so I'm going to go ahead and save that and so if I pull that over into my balance sheet run it then now we've got the investment account down here primarica on at 10 000 and I put it on there with a with a deposit type of form in the prior period so if I go back a day then run it boom so there it is scrolling back up and then the other side is going into the equity so now we have it in the equity I can't see the detail here but you could run a gl account to see the detail they don't let you kind of drill down on it because that's the that's the rollover account they use kind of like the retained earnings account
