Aha, I thought also it may be it but was in doubt...

So you think "shares" are real shares as stock? Not shares as part of
something? It was my first reaction, too, but the syntax made me doubt...

So if I translate it approximately as "Days to count" it would be correct?

It looks like these are all within the consistency check. There are comments in the \
code referring to currency, so this may refer to cases where there is a currency \
conversion, and the two values should be the same if they are in the same currency. \
I know that doesn't really help with the definition - but I think the \

"shares" is either really a number of shares of an investment, or else just \
the value on the other side of the currency conversion. I would have to understand \
