Default Re: Stock Split (on Sold Stocks?)

Correct.

A prior $200 sell of 10 shares for $20 per will be adjusted by a future 2
for 1 split to "look like" a $200 sell of 20 shares for $10 each. It will tag
these adjusted entries with an "s" to indicate it is an amount adjusted for a
subsequent split.

It would be "nice" maybe to see the data differently, but it's not how Money
works.

Yes it does do exactly what you said. However I would think that to
adjust the fractions and other things it would create a new
transaction to either sell or buy to correct the numbers. I do not
expect it to go back and change my history because of this. So I
assume this is normal and I should learn to live with it?

Thanks,

I think you will find that it splits EVERYTHING in the history for that
investment so that all of the buy/sell prices are adjusted to the most
recent split ratio. Did you end up with MORE shares post-split than you
should have? I'm thinking not since I'm thinking that the sells you made in
May are still in there--just they've been adjusted for both price and
quantity to reflect post-split share values. If they didn't do it this way,
performance reporting would be much more difficult to perform.

Default Stock Split (on Sold Stocks?)

Hi,

I bought a stock back in January and in May I sold a portion of those
stocks. Later that same month, the stock was split. When I enter the
split in Money 2005, it splits the stock based on the number that I
bought back in January. How can I make it split only the stock that I
have on hand?

Thanks,
