You entered a SellToOpen transaction for the contract, and later
entered an Exercise transaction. You got a pop-up box asking whether
you want to Sell of the MSFT or a SellShort of the MSFT.


The exercise entered a BuyToClose for the option, and a Sell of
MSFT, but it did not ask which lot to sell. Even tho you do not have
FIFO selected, it sold the oldest.

To work around this unexpected behavior, right-click the Sell
transaction, and choose ReallocateLots.

What I would do is BTC the Calls with a cost of zero and a sell of the
underlying 100 and you can then pick which 100 get sold ( I think ).
This is the way OX downloads the transaction.

It has not changed since my M03 if that is a clue as to when options
will work correctly in Mny. At least Mny acknowledges them.

I'm using MS Money 2006 Premium edition and it's missing a key piece of
executing a covered call. I can enter the initial sale of the call itself
without a problem (sell to open) but if the call gets exercised, MS Money
doesn't let me chose which shares will be called away.

So, if I sold one call (represents the potential sale of 100 shares) in MSFT
and I own 200 shares of MSFT (purchased in 2 lots of 100), if the call is
exercised and I enter the Activity "Exercise," Money goes through all of the
proper steps except it doesn't prompt me for which 100 shares I want to sell.
It simply picks 100 shares and executes. That's not good because the cost
basis my be different in each lot of 100 shares.

Will this be fixed soon?

Thanks,

Miles
