I just discovered it and the more I work with it, the better it gets.  However, its a little bit of a hassle to enter old transaction dates (you will see what I mean).

FT help says that it can also be accessed on a mobile device.

Congratulations to myself.

Congratulations to you, TW!

I'll check this out when I have time after this weekend, writing down my years of transactions one by one before they disappear into Microspace!

Thanks Michael,   I have started entering transactions into the FT PM and it seems very good so far.

Its very similar to the Old PM, but its done in a different way.  The FT PM provides you with more information on your holdings and its in a world class financial website that is similar to the Wallstreet Journal.  There are a couple things I dont like about it.  When you viewed transactions in the Old PM you could see the date, activity, quantity, price, commission, and then the calculated total cost.  The FT PM has the same information, but it doesnt calculate the total cost for you, and I wish it would.  Also its hard to enter transaction dates that are very old.

The FT.com is a mostly pay site, but the Portfolio Manager is free.  I just started using it and for me it is the clear winner and not a step down from the Old PM.  I like it much better than Morningstar or Google Finance.  If youre considering Quicken, take a look at the FT.com portfolio manager first.

Im sorry to see the Old PM go, but I think I have found a new home with alot of nice amenities.

Good luck in the stock market unless youre short.

Very good, TW. I'll have to get to that.

I've just been using Morningstar, which isn't the end of the world, at least for daily reports.

(Doing OK in the market - just wish I didn't have to waste time with all this stuff!!)

and it's gone

RIP pre-silverlight Portfolio Manager, you were the best one

Exactly, RP.

But we'll manage...

Hi MJBSF,

I tried going to the site you suggested to Carol. But it takes me back to the stupid watchlist page. I just logged in today and I don't even get the prompt to import the watchlist. So frustrating! I have lost years of my data.

Yes, Topdawg, it looks like they've really gone and killed Portfolio Manger today (about the only thing they've managed to do efficiently!). That link seems to just go to their lame Watchlist now. Very sorry about the loss of your data. (I spent hours over the weekend writing transactions down from PM.) Maybe your brokerage accounts would show this data?

Thank you for trying to help!  But I cannot get to MSN Money at all.  I have MSN as my homepage and all. I have read all these discussions, and guess after Christmas, will go and see what I can buy to  put my stocks on.  There are several I see.  Thank you again for your help.

Well, that is a big problem! As one of the other posts mentioned, there must be some sort of browser problem if you can't even get to the MSN Money site. Try using a different computer?

But once you're there, you won't be able to get to the dearly departed Portfolio Manager. Was apparently killed off today and that link takes you to the lame Watchlist (which isn't even working properly for me today).

There are other portfolio managers around, though of course you'll have to reenter all your data.

I've started using Morningstar's - free and pretty straightforward, though TW says the Financial Times one is better. I intend to look at that. Don't give up, just gnash your teeth like the rest of us!

I AM LOST-BEEN TRYING ALL DAY. I KEEP GETTING ERROR MESSAGE.

IS THERE ANY WAY TO COMPLETELY DELETE MY OLD WATCHLIST(S) AND START OVER FROM SCRATCH AND BUILD A NEW WATCHLIST AS IF I WAS BRAND NEW TO MSN?

THANK YOU.
