| Stock Options I purchased some call options which expired in September and they expired without being exercised. I then purchased some call options which expiered earlier in October, which again expired without being exercised. The September and October option showed up fine in some reports that I ran a few weeks ago. Running that same report now and the October calls show up fine but the September options do not show up at all. I went into the list of investments and the September calls do not even show up (the October calls are there fine). I seem to remember some sort of Money bug with options but do not know if this is the bug and if there is any work around. Would appreciate help from anyone. I am using Money Plus H&B. |
