This is a common misconception around the definition of legal tender.

A shop is perfectly within their rights to refuse to sell you something if you are not willing to use their accepted payment methods.

Legal tender simply means they can't sue you if you offer to settle their debt using a legal tender currency. If they have refused to sell you the item, there is no debt, therefore no obligation to accept any particular instrument

He even talked about it in his book Accidental Superpower nearly 10 years ago. His writings/videos have been instrumental in helping me to make some sense of what's going on in Ukraine

I use hledger-flow [1]. It's an opinionated way of importing csvs into the hledger format. Works really well for me, just export the csvs, write a mapping and you are good to go.

It supports preprocessing the csvs if you need to clean the data or compute some new fields which is really powerful. Once you are up and running it only needs some minor updates each month to map unidentifiable transactions I can do this in under an hour these days.

Nice idea, having worked in a similar problem space for a number of years, I have some questions.

- How are you managing rebalancing, what might trigger a rebalance and how do you manage the tax implications of that?

- With a rebalance/deposit/withdrawal are you always a taker in the market?

- What's the custody side of this look like? i.e where do the stocks sit, are they in my brokerage account or are you custodian.

- How are you accounting for dividends in the portfolios do they get reinvested/included in returns?

- Can you manage all types of corporate action like splits, mergers, delisting, halts etc.?

Tend to agree with alot of what Matt says. It's why I don't comment often, and simply use HN as a source of news and posting anything I find myself that I think is of interest.
