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!

    Take a look at the Google Portfolio Manager.  Its similar to Morningstar, but simpler, easier to use and alot more slick.

    Everyone talks about Morningstar, but I think Google deserves a mention.

    Unlike Morningstar, Google doesnt appear to have a 100 transaction limit.

    Unfortunately, like Morningstar, you can see only one portfolio at a time. 

    The old PM is still my first choice, but the Google PM might be runner up.  Im still evaluating.  Maybe Quicken is better If you have a very large number of transactions?  I have never used Quicken.

    On the last link Forbes discusses Morningstar on page 1 and Google on page 2.  I dont know why Forbes didnt mention the old PM.

    Hello Adriana,

    What can we do to get our lists from the old portfolio manager? It is supposed to expire the 22nd Dec, but seems to be already closed. No access to the old and no import prompts to the new and no data in the new either. I followed the instructions above but to no avail.

    I have more than 10 years of data in the old portfolio manager and no way to access it since a week or so . What can I do now to get my data?

    thanks,

    Thomas

    Bummer about your loss, TW - sorry about that.

    Morningsleeper,

    Did you check out the Google finance PM?  It looks pretty good and there doesnt seem to be transaction limits .  You can have multiple portfolios. but it looks like you must view each portfolio one at a time.

    I think the new PM is a copy job of the Google PM, but Google is alot better.

    I just started looking at the Google PM, but shockwave plugins keep hanging me up.

    The import still does not work.  Is anyone working on this at MSFT?

    That is what I keep asking myself also.

    Smitty, I tried everything including the help desk, on line chat, and all links for Migration that I can find.  The links take me to the RETRY IMPORT screen but it just takes me to the new Watchlist  and nothing imports. I have cleared my browser, have only one empty New Watchlist, and was signed in. But nothing works.  Talked to MSN help at 800 386 5550 but hey would not help because I did not have a paid MSN account.  The chat line just gave me the phone number and no help.  Phone support said to go to the forum. This is a royal run around and many thousnads of people are about to lose very important investment data.  In my case I will loose about 10 years of data.

    DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY IDEA HOW TO MAKE THE IMPORT FROM OLD PORTFOLIO MANAGER TONEW WATCHLIST WORk?
