Learn more about the new features in MyWatchlist by clicking here: My Watchlist: FAQ

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!

    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.

    Yup - same here.  Gotta move on.  Lost it all.  I don't think they'll get it fixed anytime soon.  You'd think that even if the migration didn't work, it would be possible to use the new Watchlist - but that would be too complicated.

    This was a big mistake, though it was really nice while it lasted - almost 20 years.  Loyalty doesn't matter anymore.

    I guess you get what you pay for.
