I think in Money 2003 Standard there is not the "Equity or Index
Option" type. Is that right?

So you enter two 100-share contracts as 200 shares of a "stock". If
you enter pay $50 per contract for the option, you would enter 0.50
as the Price.

If you want Money to download quotes for a listed option, prefix the
symbol with a period. Thus the symbol for a Microsoft $30 Jan 05
call would be .MSQAF

Note that by convention, quotes are on a per-share rather than a
per-contract for listed options.

When entering stock option puts and calls, my portfolio
shows these items as cents rather than dollars . This
results in an incorrect total for the balance. Foe
example, I pay $50 dollars for an option but it shows up
as .50 cents thereby showing a loss of $49.50 rather
than .50 cents.
Is there a way to enter these transactions without this
occuring?
