![]() ![]() Luckily for us, the vendor that I used as the example changed to providing a price with 6 digits of significance after the decimal - so my numbers now match. Downloaded transactions never seem to be as "strict" with respect to rounding - as the amounts are all provided. If you let the program calculate the price for 44.896316 shares for $970.00 you get a price of $21.605336. I only gave them $970.00 - so it can't work. With a total purchase amount of $970.00, and those price and shares amounts - the math doesn't work. For example, one of our accounts used to provide the price to only cents (ie: $21.61) and shares purchased to 6 decimal places (ie: 44.896316). One common theme over the years about entering mutual fund purchases by hand into Quicken or MS Money is that the program needs the math to work out. Quicken and old MS Money user here - I don't know Moneyspire either. Or should I go thru and mimic what I see in Fidelity, and when Fidelity reports cost of 0 just enter it the same way? If I do it this way it's a bunch of work as there are lots of transactions over the last few years. Should I just look at the total shares owned from Fidelity, then the total shares recognized by MS, and then do subtraction on the amount of share and enter the number of shares missing? If I do this, what do I enter as cost per share? For example, if MS knows about 100 shares, and I have 1000 total, should I do a "shares-in" transaction for 900 shares? If I do this how do I calculate what the price per share should be? However, it only has a partial picture since it could only go back 60 days. Since I did a download the program has knowledge of all my securities because there has been dividend reinvestment for all of them across all accounts. Some purchases have cost basis per share of 0. Then I look at my other accounts and the purchase price for the various lots varies in the same security. ![]() I am talking about the "Cost Basis per Share" column for anyone that uses Fidelity.ģ. I think they do this to keep cost basis calculation simplicity. For example, every transaction for FSTVX has been at 59.05 for the last few years. For one of my fidelity accounts, when I look at the Purchase History/Lots, it appears that Fidelity is doing some trick where all the purchases are for the same price. There have also been dividend reinvestments.Ģ. I have been buying a lot of shares of the 3 fund portfolio securities for the last few year. To get the complete picture I need to enter shares that were bought more than 60 days ago. It only downloaded 60 days worth of transactions.ģ. I set it up to download my info from Fidelity. I bought Moneyspire since it was on sale for $23 over the holidays. If there is anyboby here who already used it, I would love to hear your experineces.What is the proper way to enter transactions into finance software? Here is the scenario:ġ. It seems that budget needs to be entered in a separate window, and I do not see how can I customize it for different month.Īnyway, I think this software definitely worth the attention of /personalfinace. So far the only thing it lacks compare to YNBA is the monthly budget screen. There are features I do not need, but somebody might like check printing, investment handing, and online direct banking.
