Default Re: Recurring Investments 2006

I have no clue. There have been many more significant issues that have
lasted multiple versions despite wish list items and support cases. There
are many other basically dumb things in the design that just never get
fixed. I'd put many of these in the design of recurring transactions. (This
one and the general issue that there are many types of transactions that are
trivial to enter but impossible to schedule. Oh, and let's not forget the
Paycheck morph.)

But note my thread "Recurring Investments should require Amount only" and
the assertion of the Web-newsgroup interface that "Microsoft responds to the
suggestions with the most votes". Go vote for it. Vote early. Vote often.
Let's see what happens in Money 2008 or 2009, if there is even a non
web-service standalone Money application by then.

Yes, but how do we get Microsoft to acknowledge this and submit a fix? I
realize that I can input any numbers I want to and change them when it's time
to enter them into the portfolio but why should I have to do this when this
part of Money has virtually been the same since I started using it in 1999?

Don't let the lack of response mislead you into thinking that this hasn't
come up before and your fellow users don't agree this is a sign of
incredible ignorance on the part of the Money developers as to how the world
of investing really works.

Default Recurring Investments 2006

A big difference I have noted between Money 05 and Money 06 is when you try
to set up a recurring investment. I trade with Sharebuilder as a smalltime
investor and therefore I spend a predetermined amount of money, not buy a
predetermined amount of stocks. I have noted that when trying to set up or
change a recurring investment in Money 2006, stock price and quantity are
both required. If we knew what the price of a stock would be at a certain
time then we would all be rich. This, in my opinion, is a major flaw in what
has been to date a user friendly part of this program.
