Thank you! I just entered one CD as a bond and I plan to follow it to see if
it works. So far, if I do that, I no dot know how to calculate my exposure my
financial institution. Also when I try to see my cash flow, still does not
show that a have money coming in from a maturing bond.
Thank you for the information of the FDIC. Unfortunately I do not hold CD in
IRAs.

Thank you very much! I just customized 25 reports, one for each financial
institution, and it works well. I was expecting to do everything in one
report. Now I can check the investment limit by Bank!

Not sure if this will help you, but Schwab treats all CDs I buy thru them as
Bonds. There are 2 nice extra Bond Reports that work well, but the summary
report does not sort by Bank, but rather by maturity or coupon rates. The
performance report has Current Yield and Yield-to-maturity. Schwab updates
the value of the CDs every day for me (although to me they are worth 100, as
I plan to keep them all to maturity), but this feature works well when I buy
them at a discount. By the way, if the fixed investments are in IRA
accounts, they are insured for up to $250,000, up from the previous amount of
$100,000. Since I hold CDs from the same bank in multiple IRA and standard
accounts, there is little value in a subtotal by bank for me.

So try relabeling a CD as a bond, you might like it. Then you will also
have fields for call dates and coupons as you were requesting.

You can customize a report to be only the accounts at a specific
institution. Then save it as a favorite. Thus you can get the total money at
an institution. With multiple reports you can get what you are looking for.

Good day!
I have Money 2006 Standard edition.
I invest mainly in fixed income instruments and I am having a lot of trouble
with how Money works.
Since the FDIC (Federal Deposit Insurance company) gives a customer an
insurance for $100,000 per financial institution (banks) I need a report that
will add all my cash + investments (CD) by financial institution so make sure
that I do not go over the 100,000 limit.
So far I have tried and tried but I have not been able to find a way to do it.
Money works find with stocks but not so well with fixed income securities.
I would like Money to have the choice to be able to produce a transaction to
cut a coupon when an interest is due and also a maturity when the instrument
in due to mature. I will like to plan my cash flow taking into account the
interest and the money coming back to me for the maturing CD
Is that too much to ask!!!
Or Perhaps someone knows of a program better designed to handle fixed income
instruments for an investor who wants to keep them until they mature.
Thank you
