Portfolio-> WorkWithInvestments-> DeleteAnInvestment...

If there are transactions for that investment, it will be grayed
out. Get rid of the transactions first.

Thanks for the speedy and helpful reply. All is fixed.

Is there any way to delete securities from Money?

You have probably assigned that symbol to a similarly named
security.

Here is what you can do. In any investment account, create a new
fake dividend by going to the place where you would specify the
investment. Type *only* the letters of the symbol, and then hit the
Tab key. Expect Money to fill in the name of *some* investment.
Select Dividend from the drop-down list. Enter any amount.... it is
only temporary.

Now that you have the fake dividend in place, right-click the
transaction, and choose GoToInvestment. Now at that investment, you
could blank out the symbol, so that you could re-use it for a
different investment.

Alternatively, you might see what investment already had that
symbol. If it is the right name, you could just go with that one. If
you had created it as a MutualFund or as a Bond and the ETF is
downloading as a Stock, you will need something that is of type
Stock. You could either change that MutualFund to a Stock ......
you get the idea.

Now if you end up with an orphan investment defined that you are not
going to use, make sure that symbol is blank. Rename it to zzzz3 or
some such. Then you can delete it. The renaming is in case it hangs
around somehow, it won't match anything.

Go back and Delete that bogus Dividend transaction.

Default Add security symbol

I bought the following fund (ETF) and entered the transaction into my
brokerage account, IJH--ISHARES TR S P MIDCAP 400. I entered the symbol
IJH. When I look in Portfolio Manger the name is there but the symbol is
absent. Therefore no updates,

I go to the Investment Details screen and the area where the symbol should
be, it is blank. If I try to enter the symbol IJH in the blank area, click
Change, I get the message that the symbol is already being used for this
fund.

Well no kidding.

Is there some way to fix this problem?

Thanks
