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).

    A couple of problems turned up.  I have Mutual Funds dividends dated Dec 26.  The only way to add these is a ‘Buy’ transaction.  That does not seem quite right, no way to reinvest dividends. 

    ‘Manage Dividends’ says I have no dividends to manage for this portfolio.  Possibly Dec 26 was a couple of days before I set up the FT portfolios.

    As of Dec 31 at 6:20pm Central Time, the price data is still Dec 30.  Wonder why?

    Thanks.!

    In earlier portfolios, copy and paste were not available.  I found that ‘copy’ was easy to do using the FT Portfolio.

    I opened a new Word Document (Microsoft again, but an old one).  I copied the overall total from the Dashboard to the document.

    I opened each portfolio separately.  On each one I highlighted the part I wanted, from gain/loss to holding name, and copied to the Word Document. That all worked fine, with separate lines for each portfolio.  After market close, or tomorrow morning, I will add dividends, then make a new copy.

    That will have all my end of year positions.

    ...

         That process should work fine, until Microsoft decides to shut down access to Word! (grin)

    Floyd,

    For FT.com, after you open a Portfolio to see its individual stocks, click the star next to the Portfolio name and that portfolio will be set as your default view.  Which means the next time you login to FT.com, that portfolio and its individual stocks will be the first thing you see when you login to FT.com.

    If you decide later you prefer the dashboard as your default view, click the star next to Dashboard and it will once again be your default view when you login to FT.com.

    I dont see a way to print all your stock holdings, but control and P pressed together works pretty well to print the stocks of an individual portfolio (if you dont mind small print).

    Good luck

    ...

    (Maybe you could re-enter the FT email address using ‘at’ instead of @ sign)?

    ...

    The e-mail address for Financial Times Customer Service is "help" (no quotation marks) at ft.com.
