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.

Note: These steps only apply if your Watchlist has already been imported and there is data missing.

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).

I just broadcast a tweet (actually, a series of 3 tweets -- couldn't fit it all in 140 chars!) reporting on our woes. I encourage all disgruntled users to broadcast this problem via social media (Twitter, Facebook, Instagram; whatever you use). Be sure to use the word "Microsoft" in your postings; I know that Microsoft trolls social media for mentions of its name -- maybe we can finally get some attention this way.

If you want to find my tweets, search for my screen name "ibiwisi"; please let us know if you've added to the social media cacophony!

FT.com seems to work well for me, especially since PM appears to be gone. FT is more robust than PM.

I setup dividends to be entered "manually". FT notifies me when dividends are paid (on ex-div date), and I can choose whether or not to reinvest dividends.

Hi Adriana,

I was able to migrate successfully from PM to watchlist a couple of weeks ago and watchlist was working ok. Since the old PM has been shut down my watchlist no longer works. I can see the default watchlist but the pull down arrow to select other watchlists does not work and the tabs for fundamentals, portfolio holdings, and transactions do not work either. I am frozen in the default watchlist summary and can't select anything else. I have tried refreshing the screen to no avail. How can I get watchlist working?

Yep, me too. Two days now can't do anything with the wonderful new Watchlist except look at the default page. Good work, Microsoft!

Your'e welcome. I found FT.com because someone mentioned it a couple years ago in an investing website's discussion group.

You got everything right, but I havent looked at importing with a .CVS file. I'm transfering all transactions manually from the old PM to FT.com, so at this point it is not an issue for me.

I didnt want to deal with dividends, so I selected the last choice "dont include dividends" and they no longer appear in the transaction area. Maybe i will revisit divdends later, but dividends do create alot of clutter in the transaction area (as they once did with the old PM awhile back).

I dont know if you have noticed this yet, but once you add a stock's first transaction, its faster to click the down arrow in the "Actions" column next to the stock to make additional transactions for that stock. The stock symbol is already entered for you.

Also, you can have multiple views of your portfolios and the columns in each view can be customized.

I cant find where FT.com calculates total cost for you (multiply # of shares times price plus commission) the way the old PM did in the transaction area. I wish FT would also calculate the transaction cost.

Also, the results for todays activity drop off earlier than they did for the old PM. Its 10:23pm on the West Coast and I see alot of zeros in todays value change column.

Moving to FT.com is time consuming, but its also a chance to setup portfolios that are more organized and useful.

Im glad you like it so far.
