Bond interest payments on the income statement

Currently bond interest payments are registered in "Stock and Bond Return" account on the income statement.

It combines 1) the bond interests you received, 2) the gain/loss of the market values of the bonds you own 3) the the gain/loss of the market values of the stocks you own.

Do you think this needs to be changed?

Hi David,

I Think a lot of people Will chose this option :

It should be separate into 3 accounts "Bond interests", "Bond return", and "Stock Return".

he reason why is that the income statement is the best place to évaluate your financial décision . So having these seperate , will give us a better assessement of the choices we make and makes it easer the change stratégies.
