- The cashbook balance
Shows the amount of cash you have/don't have after trading in the shares in your portfolio.
A cost like the purchase of shares is deducted from the cashbook total. So if on your first buy in you spend £12,000.00
Cashbook balance is £ 0 Payments = -£12,000.00 New Cashbook balance = -£12,000.00
The cashbook balance is always relative to current investment costs, the profits/losses you've accumulated whilst trading.
So if you had previously sold all your shares and made £1000.00 profit and then bought £12,000.00 of shares your deficit will be £11,000.00.
Cashbook balance is £1,000.00 Payments -£12,000.00 New Cashbook balance = -£11,000.00
As far as cashbook is concerned the profit from your initial investment is offsetting the second investment.
