2007 Deluxe Share Price Issue

#1 12-02-2008, 09:41 PM

Thanks, that done the trick.

For interest, the stock was HBoS in the UK, and the split date was 1st Oct
2008. It was showing as a 102/100 split. I just deleted it and things are ok
now.

To work around this, look at the split history for a stock. Go to
the investment PriceHistory. UpdatePrices-> UpdatePricesManually,
Look through the table and find the entries in the Source column
that say "Stock Split". The first split, going back in time, will
be identifiable by the quotes being suffixed with an 'S' for the
price. The first may not be the bad one.

Note the date of the bad split. It is not necessary to delete it
at this point. Click Close. Then UpdatePrices-> RecordASplit.

Record a split for the date you noted as a 1 for 1 split. Accept
that you are overwriting the existing split. That should inoculate
you to a re-download of the bad split for that date-- at least for
some versions. Let us know how that works out for you. It would
be nice if post the symbol for the stock and the date of the bad
split data.

I manually enter all share transactions into Money, i.e. number bought,
purchase price and commission etc. I just went to update my shares, and
found that for one of my stocks the purchase price and number of shares
bought have changed for my historical transactions. The total cash value of
the transactions have remained the same, but the purchase price has dropped
and the number of shares increased. All transactions have change by the same
ratio.

I noticed this because the number of shares for one of my stocks in MSMoney
is now different from the number that I actually hold, when they used to
match a few months ago when I last updated money.

I can see that the price for the affected shares now has as 's' at the end,
i.e. 3.065s If I manually change the price for the transactions, the 's'
remains. I assume the 's' means something, and probably has to do with the
issue I am having. Can anyone help please?
