Options shares calculation is wrong
In My Portfolio for the linked accounts, the shares count for options contracts are wrong.
The shares count in the linked account for options is one share per contract but the "Avg Cost/Share" is multiplied by 100 and when they calculate the Total Gain, they multiply the "Avg Cost/Shares" again so it is off by 100x.
Yahoo's calculation
Total gain = Shares (contracts) * 100 * Avg Cost/Shares - Market Value
If they didn't multiply the "Avg Cost/Shares" the second time in the total gain calculation, the result would be correct.
