It was a Buy.

I guess I'll just have to live with it.

Check to make sure that that fund had been entered into Money with
Buy transactions rather than AddShares transactions.

Yes, the Income and Expenses graph on the My Money Home page.

This is Money Deluxe 2003. Old, I know, but I keep hearing complaints about
the newer ones.

Not this month, but last month I had a fund sale of $x, and the entire
amount showed as income on that graph. (I had bought it a number of years
ago for about x/2.) I've seen this happen before, too. I don't know how it
shows up on the tax reports - haven't looked yet.

I don't see that. What version of Money? Are you looking at the
Income and Expenses item?

Default stock sales reported as income

When I sell a stock or mutual fund, Money reports the entire sales price as
income on the home page. This is regardless of my cost basis, even if I take
a loss.

If I bought $5000 worth of stock six months ago, and sell it for $5000 this
month, it shows as an extra $5000 "income" for this month. That's really
dumb. How can I make it stop?
