Enter the Total, commission if any, and number of shares. Let Money calculate
the price. That way, your number of shares and total investment will tally
with your brokerage. If the cost per share is off a fraction of a cent, it
doesn't really matter.

Default Rounding on Investment transactions

I've seen this problem for quite a while in Monday (at least 01, 02, 03,
and 04). But when I'm entering my transactions, often times the final
amount (shares*cost+comm) don't equal out, it's always the matter of 1
penny, but I'm a bit anal that way.

For instance. 0.78800 shares at 27.8900 per share. Fully worked out it
comes to 21.97732. So when Money does the transaction it rounds it to
21.98 (makes perfect sense). My brokerage relays the cost as 21.97.

What options do I have to make these transactions actually work out? Since
I can't do a negative commision (seems stupid to me but oh well) I can't
fix it very easily.

Thanks
