Thank you for a quick reply. I get the idea, though it makes it
somewhat hard to track stock purchases. Knowing that I will simply put
the original qty + price in the notes field.

Right. Notice that the per-share price of the Buy in the register
has an "s" appended to indicate it is from a split.

Money has that data, but you would need to delete the splits later
to recover that info. But consider this: if you are in the US, when
you sell the stock, you enter what you sold, when you sold it, what
you received, when you bought it, and what you paid. You do NOT
enter the number of shares that your original purchase was.

Money makes schedule D entry easy. Besides having the data available
in a report, you can export that data to TaxCut, TurboTax, or some
other tax program that accepts QXF files.

That "re-buy it 10 years later" thing does not add a problem. You
will be buying post-split shares.

I am absolutely and utterly confused. Hope someone could help..

I bought 40 shares of stock, it split 2:3 so that I had 60 shares to
sell. Fine.

I later re-bought it, then it split again. Fine.

In Money, it shows me originally buying and then selling _90_ shares
at a different price, so that I end up with same amount that I sold 60
for. It seems that when the stock split again - after I re-bought it -
Money had went all the way back to the original transaction and
adjusted it for split.

So, if I sell the stock, and re-buy it 10 years later, all my totals
will be OK but my share #s will be completely off ? Is there a way to
force Money to keep the historic data for each batch ?
