Evaluating IT share performance

When evaluating IT or UT price movements on existing holdings, is it more correct to compare the price at which bought to the current sell price or to the current buy price?

Or is it that there is no correct way, just a preferred way?

For CEFs I believe the guidance is Bid to Bid valuations. That is what I have seen everywhere and I know that CEFs went from "mid to bid" valuation many years ago. You will see it in announcements on occasion https://www.londonstockexchange.com/exc ... 27783.html
