Default Re: Can't get symbol

Nowadays a lot of so-called structured products are being issues. These
products combine fixed income elements with derivative elements. For example
reverse exchangeable bonds. These just pay normal coupons as with regular
bonds. They have an ISIN code, but I cannot use these normally in Money
because when choosing BOND as the investment type I cannot enter an ISIN and
therefore cannot get the online quotes. However if I define it as a stock I
can use the ISIN and can get a online quote which is unfortunately a factor
100 too large. Of course I can then change the number of ´shares´I bought. So
isn´t there an easier way of getting online prices correctly quoted for
fixed-income type securities?

Bonds -- unless they're held in a mutual fund -- don't have symbols and auto
update can't do anything for them.

To change a symbol, go to the Investment Details for the investment.

Most bonds do not have symbols as such; they have a CUSIP, and Money
cannot retrieve quotes for them.

Bond funds have symbols, and those quotes can downloaded usually.

Default Can't get symbol

I use money to track my stock on a daily basis. I recently purchased four
bonds and entered them on my investment program. In the process of entering
them I could not find any place to enter the symbol for each one in order to
have the auto update feature work as it does with my stocks etc. Is there a
way to in put the symbols in order to have this feature work when I want to
update the progress of the bonds. Thanks Don Djpkos[at]msn.com
