Say you had two investments in the same security and were figuring out your
value by hand. Would you look up the exact same quote in the newspaper
twice? No. Well, that's why in Money it's the same Investment.

Everybody wants and gets that. The way they do it is to but Buy
transactions into different accounts for the same investment using
the drop-down list. If I have shares of PG in both my regular
account and IRA, they are both shares of PG -- not two different
securities.

Let me try this--Only set up an investment one time--you can place
this investment in seperate accounts and money will keep all the
transaction in the proper account--Click add an investment--select
account--pick the investment you want to use from the drop down
list--it will go in the other account with only the transactions for
that account--Best to you

Create a security only once. Thereafter choose it from
the dropdown list."

This has nothing to do with my question.
I want to have 2 investments with the same symbol.
How do I use the same symbol with 2 investments accounts
or is it even possible?
I want to use the online updates to update both accounts
instead of manually updating one.

I have 2 investment accounts, one is taxed and one not. I
handle these as two separate accounts.
I would like to update both using online updates but it
will only let me place the symbol in only one account.
I give me an error "symbol already exists for another
account please enter a different symbol".

Is there away to have two investment account with
different names but the same symbol to allow both to
update?

At the present when I update on line one updates but have
to manually enter the price change for the other.
Thanks
