I have done these steps more times than I can count, with no success. I would like to have the old MSN site back. This new one is terrible. Since I probably can't get it back, I JUST WANT TO IMPORT MY OLD PORTFOLIO MANAGER AND HAVE IT WORK LIKE IT DID BEFORE.

You may have recently imported data from the Classic MSN or my.msn.com pages to the new MSN.com Money Watchlist/Portfolio and may not have received all of your Watchlist/Portfolio data. The MSN team has resolved the issue and you can now regain access to that information by following the steps below.
Note: These steps only apply if your Watchlist has already been imported and there is data missing. If you have not already imported a Watchlist, please go to the Watchlist, sign in, and you will then be prompted to begin the import. You may need to return to this step if you find that data is missing after your first attempt to import.
Step 1: Create a new Watchlist and delete any Watchlists from previous imports
Step 2: Re-import your existing Watchlist or Portfolio data from MSN.com or my.msn.com into a new Watchlist
Step 3: Clean any erroneous data imported into your new Watchlist(s).
If you need more details about the steps, please go to this article.
If you are still having difficulties or would like to report any errors, please reply to this thread.
Thank you!

Thanks for the very thorough message as I too have been struggling for several days and at the end of the quarter; this mess could not have happened at a worse time. I finally got my portfolio to migrate but it is a mess. I show holdings that were sold 5-7 years ago. Further, my screen locks up if I try to click on anything and I get the message that a long running script is running.
It is so evident that Microsoft never tested and their response is pathetic. Looks like Morningstar.com may be the answer. Lots of lost data and many keystrokes to try and recover.
Thank you.

2014-10-04T23:03:36+00:00 I just checked out Morningstar.com and input 3 of my stocks for testing. There's actually more column choices there than on Portfolio Manager. Of course, the one thing I can't transfer is the old transactions from years gone by, but MSN is killing the old Portfolio Manager at the end of October so I have to move somewhere. Certainly MSN's Watchlist is nothing but a TINKER TOY of a stock portfolio tool the way it is now. I'm not going to wait. I'm going to move everything to Morningstar. I only own about 50 stocks so it's under the 100 stock max at morningstar. I'll keep monitoring this msn Discussion group to see if Microsoft changes their mind and keeps PM, but folks, I really have my doubts this time. They have messed with PM a few times over the years. This looks like the death of it since it appears they want one platform that conforms to small cellphone and tablet screens and also works for PC's. Such a bad ending for us, the customer, IMO. You know, I was going to buy a Microsoft Surface 3 $1200 tablet, but I'm so **** off I think I'll get the new iPad instead and dump my Windows phone and get the iPhone 6 too. Apple doesn't do this kind of thing to its customers.
