" Investments To Watch " in M2004 Deluxe

#2 03-15-2006, 04:21 PM

Ok, thanks guys. Will do.
Since help stated to "Select it from the dropdown", I thought that it should exist by default and wanted to check before creating
one.

Go to the account list. Do you see a an investment account called
Watch? If so, enter Buys there.

Don't see that? No problem. Make one. Make an investment account
called Watch or whatever you like. Then in the account details, tell
Money it is a Watch account. Transactions there will be pretend
transactions. Buy what you like.

Do you have an Investments to Watch account? If not, create an investment
account (typical name: "Investments to Watch") and designate it in Account
Details as a Watch Account.

This is a guess that may get to your problem.

This is a fact: Investments to Watch are in a dedicated account designated
as noted above.

I know it's late, but I just tried to use the "Watch List " feature in M2004 for the first time , and the instructions tell me to:
Choose Investing - portfolio - 'add an investment' , then to choose " Investments To Watch" from the drop-down.
I do not have " Investments To Watch" available to me. I checked all the options I can think of. Is there a box somewhere to
enable this ? AND when this does work, what will the screen look like - will these be listed with other items in my brokerage
account ? or will this put the watched stocks in their own account ?
I tried help - online support etc and they all tell me " choose from the dropdown" and that's all the info I can get.

Thanks
