Default Re: Clearing out old quotes in Money - does it affect reports?

I manually delete all "old" prices - leaving a single entry for historical month end net worth calculations...
Typically do this once a year...

Spoke too soon. It does wipe out 100% of your index price history and
the index itself was removed from the "Update Price" dialog box. I
shan't be using that "feature" again. Restored this mornings backup.

So, the answer is "No, reports are unaffected because the feature is
broken." <G
Just checked, yup, hundreds and hundreds of quotes still past my
threshold, many going back to 1995.

I worked with a copy of my Money 2004 file. I spot-recorded onto a
notepad the dates that had prices using
UpdatePrices-> UpdatePricesManually. In particular I noted the
oldest, newest, and dates around the buy. I entered a Sell dated
9/02 of an actual position bought 10/99. I set the Clear Quotes
setting to 1 month. I set the box to clear quotes each time I open
Money. I clicked Clear Quotes. I exited Money 2004 and restarted it.
and I can My experiments did not find any case where a recorded
quote went away.

Perhaps I am missing something.

Default Clearing out old quotes in Money - does it affect reports?

I have never cleared quotes in Money before and have them going back
to 1995 when I installed Money 95 I am sure. Will clearing old quotes
affect reports like the historical net worth? Does it clear *all*
quotes or does it leave month end quotes in place for historical
reports to calculate?
