Does everyone here keep all your CDP records?
I do. But then I am the type of person who retains account statements of all types. I also keep every trade confirmation ticket because they show the date, price and quantity. As it happened, when I turned pro it was important to be able to look back and see how I did, and fortunately I had the CDP statements and trade confirmations as evidence.
For most people, it is not vital to track portfolio changes to the last %. For non-professionals, good record-keeping is mainly for bragging rights. CDP plus bank statements is usually a sufficient indicator of liquid assets. For professionals, record-keeping is a necessity since your returns are your only real product.
