very useful to you if you used Money.

contribute yours.

Money can File-> Import OFX files.

The number of shares is irrelevant, all you need is the value of the
security position each day.

I do not yet have MSFT Money (I asked some questions earlier today that will
enable me to decide whether to purchase).

You seem to want the equivalent of the XIRR function in Excel.

In my case, I download the portfolio positions CSV file from Fidelity just
about every day, then I have a VB program (that I wrote) to grab the values
from the CSV files and plug them into the Excel spreadsheet.

I understand this, but how do I do a negative split? The number of shares
went down instead of up. I went from 1320.305 shares when it was AIM
Aggressive Growth down to 603.727 shares when it changed to AIM
Constellation. By the way, thanks for trying to help out.

Yes, at least if it comes up again. Doing it at this time could be a
chore assuming you are downloading transactions. That doesn't mean
its not worth trying. If you are not downloading, it is only a small
chore.

So before I describe what you might do at this later date, I will
describe what you would want to do if it occurred again for another
fund:
===========================
Change the symbol, rename the fund, add an appropriate comment, and
do an appropriate split to achieve the ratio you want. Post the
ratio you are trying to achieve if you want a suitable ratio of
integers to enter for the split.

Do this before downloading the new position data, or be prepared to
File-> Restore back to that point. During download, say the fund
already exists as the modified split fund. If there is then a
reference to the old fund, say it is a new fund called ZZZ1 or some
such. If you get it backwards, File-> Restore and try again.

=========================================

This does not mean that you cannot deal with it today. It will just
be more complex, if you are up to it.

I have one mutual fund in this particular account, AIM Aggressive Growth. In
2002, it was reorganized, renamed to AIM Constellation, the stock count
lowered by more than half and repriced at a higher market rate. The only way
I found to do this in Money 2007 was to either show a sell of the old name
(AIM AG) and a buy of the new (AiM Const) which of course then only showed
the cost of the new purchase as my cost basis) or I could change all the past
purchase transactions to adjust the stock qty down at each purchase price
over the prior years (which is the route I ended up taking, the same route
that my Morgan Keegan account activity shows online). This was the closest
way I could find to keep an accurate accounting of my actual investment vs.
gain/loss on the fund. Any suggestions?

Maybe. What are you looking for?

Suppose for ten months in a row, I buy 100 shares of WXYZ at $10 per
share on the first of each month, and I sell 100 shares of WXYZ at
$10.10 per share on the fifteenth of each month. What number(s)
would you be looking for?

I have an investment account which is classified as an IRA, but I can use it
the same way as a stock market account. However, when I try to track my
total money invested amount vs. total gains, Money Premium 2007 just tracks
the purchase price of the last stock or mutual fund purchased and shows the
closed investment as a total negative. Am I doing something wrong or am I
asking too much of this software?
