Schwab downloads my oisutuins and transactions. I don't remember if I had
to call Schwab to set it up but it does work nicely

Assuming you let it, Money would generate Add Shares transactions to
match your holdings at TD Waterhouse. You would want to call TD
Waterhouse customer service in advance and ask them to set you up
for Microsoft Money. They will give you an additional account number
and password for the Direct Access. So yes, the position data would
be downloaded. But it would be an AddShares dated today rather than
a Buy with price information, so you should go back and convert each
AddShares to a Buy with the proper data. You will need that data if
you sell, but not if the shares are part of your estate.

However the original purchase data will not be downloaded, assuming
it was more than a couple months ago that you made the purchases. TD
Waterhouse probably does have your year-end statements online (click
eServices) back to 1999 which would include your purchase data.
Money will not download that information.

I don't know how it works at Schwab. It is probably similar.

Hi all,
I bet there is an easy answer to this question, but I
just want to make sure. When we connect to one of the
security brokerages through Money (I'm using Premium
2004), we are only able to download transactions,
correct? This is all I am able to do. It will not
download our positions or contents of our porfolio,
correct? We have to build that by adding investment by
investment manually, correct?
If that is correct, it's a bummer. It would have been
great if we were able to download all positions, and even
the original prices and totals of security shares we
purchased even from many years ago. I am not able to
remember original purchase prices, so I have to go
digging through paperwork!

Thanks, Paul
