Now that seems strange. When you right-click a reference to the fund
in the CG report and GoToInvestment-> Details what does it show as

.... using a differently-named copy of your file, I assume.

re: previous " sweep account comment"...
Cash Reserves ( or FCASH or whatever it's called ) is my DEFAULT sweep
account.
BUT
if you have no money in FCASH, and have money in another mmkt (Select
Money Market), when you buy 'something' you need to have cash in FCASH.
Their system realizes that I have no money in FCASH so their system
automatically sells Select Money Market and sweeps that to my FCASH. Then
the trade gets executed leaving FCASH empty again.

other info requested is inline - below:

Generate a YTD cap gains report.
Then click Customize
Then - on Investment tab - click the dropdown from menu on right - the
middle option " Select Investment Type ", then choose Money Market.
That report then shows this fund as MMF - with LT Cap Gains only - listed
in the report.
(even though when I display Portfolio, it shows as "Mutual Fund".)

BTW, I was thinking - just change date/ go back a few years and play a
bit:
Sell all Select Money Market - move to FCASH until I identify when/
how/why Select Money Market shows "a gain". Then once narrowed down - undo
hacks and maybe "fix it" by buying/selling/buying back - in the past -
with comments in entry.

In customizing that report, I see no "Select Investment Type"
choice. There is an Investment tab that lets you select which
investments are included.

How do you get to the report you are looking at?

You were right about that.

I understood that. I made the references as related to your question

So you are saying, I think, that FSLXX is your automated sweep
account fund. I am surprised that given that the sweep account Buys
and Sells download. That seems like that should a big plus for you
as far as tracking performance. And maybe you are the only one. It
kinda makes me think that changing that monthly Dividend and Buy
into a single ReinvestDividend is going to have a miniscule effect
on your number of transactions on a percentage basis.

So, to reiterate what I now think you are saying:
1. In the Details for your FSLXX it is now shown as a MMF.
2. In the Analysis (click on left), the Quantity is what you expect.
3. In the InvestmentActivities, it seems that all of your Buys and
4, Sells are there, including the sweeps.
5. You don't have any recent activity in "Cash Reserves" and that is
not your designated sweep account; FSLXX (Select Money Market) is.

Assuming that all of these are true, I am going back to the post
where you were discussing the report. In the mean time I would do a
File-> RepairMoneyFile-> QuickFileRepair if you have not done one
lately.

Agreed - I've seen that.
Especially if I move a LOT of cash , it looks
WONDERFUL as my money doubles ( until settlement)

- quote -


:-> I don't think so.

'Select Money Market ' is my issue -
not " FCASH" or "Cash Reserves"

1. In my IRA's I don't use "FCASH" or Cash Reserves -as far
as Money2006 is concerned, my money just sits in "Cash".
I buy/sell from Cash Account in Money, BUT .....

2.In my Brokerage account , I have Cash and "Select Money Market" (symbol
= FSLXX ) AND I do download a buy/sell of Select Money Market ( all the
gain/cost basis issues have to do with that one Money Market). So if I
have no cash in FCASH, I sell $20,000 of Sel Money Market on the 17th to
settle "your trade above", I SELL $20,000 of FSLXX and "CASH" increases by
$20,000. THAT money is "what settles" and is in register. That gets
pushed to me when I update online and entered into my register. So I DO
get the Select Money Market info.

I have downloaded/ entered every buy/sell for Select Money Market since I
started Money.

BTW: FSLXX earned more - AND it used to be that there was a 3% fee on
any Select Funds , so all the money I had ever paid a 3% load on I left in
there - to keep it straight and avoid paying another load: but I digress
.....AND, since I'm digressing .... cleaning attic this weekend- I had a
"Quicken V2.0 for DOS" upgrade coupon as a bookmark in an old paperback !
Yikes .

All-Star game starting ... good night.

OK. Regarding that, I think I might see just the Dividend and not
the Buy. More on that below.

Let's say you have not done transactions for a week. On Monday July
14 you Buy 100 shares of WXYZ at $100. Lets say you have 20000
shares of MM. Now what will happen as a consequence there will be
14 July Buy 100 WXYZ for total $10000.
your unsettled account balance goes to -10000.
you still have 20000 MM shares.

17 July Sell 10000 MM shares
your unsettled account balance goes to 0.
you now have 10000 MM shares.
I expect that 17 July MM Sell is not downloaded into Money for you.


If you want to see the MM buys and sells in your register on the
Fidelity Investments web site, in the History, tick "Display
settlements in core account." Expect to then see " REDEMPTION
FROM CORE ACCOUNT" and "PURCHASE INTO CORE ACCOUNT " transactions.

Those really happen. But they are not put into the OFX downloads.
Those are what I was referring to when I wrote "if the Buys and
Sells of the MM were downloaded".

Now if you get a Dividend and a Buy of the MM once per month, I
would just be tempted to Void the Buy so that Money would actually
see the MM holding to be zero shares. That way the "(Core +
Unsettled)" amount of the balance would match the Cash Transactions
register.

- quote -

Most with Fidelity Investment retirement accounts would probably
have the same sort of thing with the MM sweep accounts. Most with
non-retirement accounts have the sweep handled differently. You
don't want to know ;-) -- but if you can't help yourself, search on
"FCASH".

I suspect we are close to being on the same page now.

All info from Fidelity WAS downloaded ( has always been). I connect monthly
and that data goes into my register directly. ( Like I said - for the
Dividend + buy, I change to Reinvest div just to not have 2 entries per
month ).

AND - I'm the only you here that this happens to ?
( that's really the part that I don't understand)

OK: I'll go back to just ignoring it.
Thanks Cal.

No, not by just changing the transaction type in the Investment
Transactions register. Because the Interest transaction would still
be computed as gain for that MM. If you wanted to avoid having the
outlandish gain transactions, and you were willing to do the extra
work, you could Void the Dividend in the Investment Transactions
register and enter a Deposit into the Cash Transactions register.
You could use a Payee related to the MM so you could still generate
a report.

- quote -

Yes. With the Fido method of letting the cash balance represent the
(cash+MM) total, the MM holdings appear to be zero. Yet the holding
still get somehow gets dividends. The gain on your past holdings
comes out to these fantastic numbers.

Now if the Buys and Sells of the MM were downloaded, then Money
could compute an accurate yield.


- quote -

So you have accurately stated the problem. Your better choices are
to go with what is downloaded and ignore the huge percentage gains
on the MM, or to delete/void the Dividend and enter a Deposit in the
Cash Transactions register.

Now if the (possibly daily) Buys and Sells of the MM were entered in
addition to the ReinvestDividends, then Money could compute the
yield (tho the number of decimal places is too small to display gain
percent for a month in a MM). That would be way too much work when
it is not automated into the download process.

Sorry, I forgot to post this,

I ran Cap Gains report - YTD and
right-click on the report, then
"Customize -Investments"
Then
"Select Investment Type"
I selected 'Money Market'
It shows 3 funds including the"bad one".

Then I chose just my
Fidelity Select Money Market.
In that report it shows
Cost - Sale price - Gain

Cost = 15050.35
Sales = 15050.35
So far so good ...
Gain = 13747.19 !

Whaaaat ????
SO Money "SEES" that fund AS a
Money Market fund - Yet shows a GAIN ??
Of 91.3% WOW !
All buy dates in the report are the same date ( I bought a chunk then so
probably right) and I bought that lot at $1 per share and sold for $1 per
share.
My register shows REINVESTED DIVIDEND for each month's interest in that
fund.
Fidelity downloads/sends statements as dividend/buy - I change to reinvest
dividend to eliminate one transaction.
Should I change that to INTEREST rather than DIVIDEND ?
Does dividend mess with cost basis/report and interest doesn't ?
( I still didn't get $13,747 in interest ! In fact, if I just view
"Portfolio Mgr - "gain" column it shows ~$7000 total , not $13,700 - where
Is it getting this stuff ?)

If I open Portfolio Manager page and look at YTD return
- it's 1.5% so far, 3 % annual - that's more like it for a money market.

FYI: This isn't a big deal - I just uncheck for REAL reports,
but can't figure WHY it's messed up.

Thanks for any ideas/guesses on this one.

since Money saw as MMkt fund I skipped this:
<snipped..... Cal's procedure to reclassify fund.

In microsoft.public.money, - Bobb - wrote:

- quote -

In retrospect, the best way is to define your MMF as an MMF before
you first download. That way there is no problem. In OFX, the
references to MF and MMF are the same. So ideally Money would ask
initially. I am not sure if it does or does not, but if it does I am
confident the default is MF.

See below:


- quote -

I am pretty sure it is not. There is a way that will do that will do
that disassociation for you with Money 2006:



Disassociate Mutual Fund

The purpose of this procedure is disassociate a security from the
download process. The problem this cures is that Money associates
downloaded fund by CUSIP. Renaming and/or changing the symbol is
not sufficient to appear as a different security.

Create dis_mf.ofx by cutting and pasting the portions between the
Begin and End lines (below) into a file named dis_mf.ofx.

I suggest making an extra copy of your Money file as a precaution.

File-> Import dis_mf.ofx

Select the appropriate Account from the list.

Select the institution as the actual institution that holds the
account.

You should get the "You have n statements to read" screen. The
account you just imported into should show the name account name
followed by (1). Click that name.

You should get the pop-up that says "Money found the following
investment in your brokerage statement:".

Select "This investment is already in my investment portfolio with
a different name. I use the following investment in my investment
portfolio to track this investment:". From the drop-down list,
choose the mutual fund you are trying to get rid of. Click Next.
When you get the "Are you sure xxxxx is the same investment as
yyyy?", click Yes.

If you get the screen that says "Do you want to change the ticker
symbol for xxxx in Money from yyyy to zzzz to match the statement,
I suggest you click Yes.

Get the screen that says "The positions reported on nn/nn/nn
statement don't match those in you Money account. Do you want to
update your account to match the statement?". I would select No,
but it is up to you. Click Finish.

Now download from your broker for real.

Feel free to suggest improvements to this procedure.

You probably have your "Fidelity Select Money Market" set up as a
Mutual Fund rather than a Money Market Fund.

Now it would be nice if you could just change it. But you can't
change a MF to a MMF directly.

1. Easy less good way that does not avoid the schedule D problem:

a. Remove the symbol from the security as a sure fire way to get
Money to never download the price from its quote server.

b. Delete all of the non $ 1 prices. Let it stay a mutual fund.

The main downside of this is that if you download Buys and Sells,
they will get put on your schedule D if you let Money prepare your
schedule D with TaxCut or TurboTax.

2. Harder better way:

Make an extra copy/backup in case you want to undo something.

2a. Assuming you download transactions from your broker,
disassociate the existing mutual fund from your downloads. I have
a procedure for doing that below using Money 2007 or later. It may
look complex, but it is a lot easier than it is for earlier
versions. Please make notes of any discrepancies in the procedures
I am describing. I have not tested this live. Remember you are
prepared to restore a backup if you don't like the results.

2b. Pre-create a Money Market Fund called RealMMF or whatever is
appropriate. One way is with
Portfolio-> WorkWithInvestments-> SetUpANewInvestment. Leave the
symbol blank.

2c.Download from your broker. Expect Money to say it found a new
investment -- your Money Market. I think Money will let you choose
the type at, but if you want to be sure, you could pre-create a
Money Market Fund called RealMMF or whatever is appropriate. Tell
Money that this investment that it just found is the same as
RealMMF. Expect Money to say that the statement says you currently
have Y shares of RealMMF, but your statement says you have X (maybe
zero if there was no activity). Let Money create the AddShares to
bring the balance to the right amount. I would then modify that to
a Buy in the register(s), and I would modify the Memo.

2d. Now you need to zero out your holding of HistoricMF. I would
create a Sell of the same number of shares that you have the Buy of
for RealMMF. The pair will have no net effect on your cash
balance. Inspect your register to see if any other adjustments are
needed.


So what did this do for you? The biggie for me is that the MMF
transactions don't get put on the schedule D. Having a bunch of
Buy and Sell for the same amount don't affect your taxes, but it's
messy. Plus now Money expects the price to stay at $1 (which we
hope is a justified expectation.)

If something is confusing, check back. In any case, let us know
how it came out. Also post what is lacking in the procedure.


================================================== ===
How to disassociate Mutual Fund from downloads using CombineWith in
Money 2007 or Money Plus:

1. Create a new mutual fund called "HistoricMF" or some such.
This will be the name that your existing transactions will show up
as.

2. Pretend that your present MMF name is "ExistingMF" Then go to
the Details of ExistingMF and blank out the symbol. Then choose
CombineWith (upper right) to combine with HistoricMF. All of your
earlier transactions would now show up as HistoricMF transactions,
as would new downloads if you stopped now.

3. But you want Money to ask about ExistingMF the next time it
downloads. So you will next go to the settings for HistoricMF and
click ManageCombinedInvestments (lower). Tick the box for
ExistingMF and click Remove. Accept the warning. At this point,
there are no transactions for ExistingMF and Money would ask about
it upon next download. As far as I know, ExistingMF is gone.

I do - but *I* didn't choose that. Originally when I set up money I
connected to my broker and was presented with my positions.They had
entered the symbol for it and I merely named it. MONEY then called it a
"Mutual Fund". ( I can't have two CASH accounts in one brokerage account
??) I noticed it at setup time ( X years ago) and I've checked on newer
versions - it's still a mutual fund. It IS a money market fund (FSLXX) but
apparently Money could never handle that.

- quote -

I download register info so want it linked with right symbol so I get
transfers. Let's say I sell 10,000 of FSLXX to buy Select Energy - without
symbol I don't get that - it's an unmatched transaction. My statement
shows sale of FSLXX.
( BTW I use FSLXX as my main 'holding area for cash' on which I've already
paid sales load --- and it pays more interest than daily money market -
although probably not much these days).

- quote -

I checked price history All prices are $1.

- quote -

Currently using M2006, but I'll check options.

- quote -

I believe that's how I set them up originally.
I connected to broker - it found funds
I assigned names to the symbols.
It was then that I realized that Select Money Mkt is not listed as money
fund - just a mutual fund.


- quote -

I did that after my bank statements were stolen - to get into new account
numbers

- quote -

I agree with you the whole way but with NO symbol, Money won't interact
correctly with fund. WITH symbol, it is a MUTUAL fund not a Money Market.

- quote -

I'll see if this is an option for me - thanks

I just ran a cap gains report for 2008 to date ( to make sure no LT sales
yet ). LT cap gain report for 2008 only shows my "Fidelity Select Money
Market" which isn't really a sale. I've moved money out 12 times so
shows 12 sales.
Sales Proceeds = Purchase Cost as I expect , BUT
GAIN/Loss column shows $13,707 gain .
Anyone been here/done that ?

A few years ago I closed/transferred one account into this account ( my
bank statements were stolen from mailbox so I closed accounts) and maybe
it considers that original money - zero cost ?? So as I sell it's a gain ?
If so, how to fix cost on a money market ?
