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!

    After two weeks of banging my head on my desk, I give up.  The migration was a disaster and now it just doesn't work.  I have read about a million threads of frustration like my own and figured out there is 250 entry limit.  Well after 15 years of data input I probably have 25,000 entries.  It would be nice if there was an option to forget the whole migration thing and just use my watchlist as viewing tool of stocks I have interest in, but no, can't do that. Still stuck with a useless site that still doesn't work properly.  And to top it all, PM is gone!  Nice work! 

    Time to throw MSN overboard and use a completely different homepage that works and provides useful information. 

    Whoops!

    We can't show you this right now. We'll get it fixed soon.

    That's good news. I'll take a look.

    Apparently the MONEY revamp is being done the same people that built the HealthCare.gov website. Surely, this is a case study in "We're not happy 'til you're not happy." I can't think of ONE  change /"improvement"that  has been for the better. They have screwed up every aspect of site that worked well and made EVERY ASPECT OF IT HORRIBLE TO USE. Congratulations MSN! You're not the premier software company for nothing!

    News Alert !!!! I think I have finally found a free onlline website that is comparable to the old PM.

    and it is the FINANCIAL TIMES PORTFOLIOat FT.com.

    http://help.ft.com/markets-data/portfolio/#axzz3MUHzrRR1

    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.

    I have the same problem. I get PM but there's no prompt to allow me to export to watch list. I have many many years of info stored on PM. DISASTER for me. No reason to use Microsoft for me anymore.

    I wish they would fix the BUGS in Watchlist !

    It won't sort by stock symbols.

    It does not recognize all my stock symbols  ---- Portfolio Manager could find them !

    This thing is junk.
