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!

    Thanks for reply. In meantime i did find out that it was too late to import, so bit the bullet and reentered all holdings. Downloaded the money app, but don't like its content as much as website. App page doesn't show totals, and i haven't found that you can edit your holdings or print from there. Fuller access to everything from website.

    You might look at the FT.com portfolio manager.  Its a lot better than the MSN watchlist.  I dont care about accessing my portfolio by phone and I dont know anything about it.  But FT.com says this:

    "Once you log into the new FT portfolio, any new or existing portfolios will be available on your mobile device. Any new watch lists created will not be available on mobile."

    In addition to having portfolios to track stock performance, FT.com also allows you to keep watchlists for stocks youre thinking about buying or selling.   I dont know how well the FT.com portfolio works on a phone.

    Good luck

    In December MSN discontinued access to the old Portfolio Manager and required that a new Watch List be used instead.  There were alot of problems transfering the data from the old PM to the new Watch List.  I didn't pay very much attention to the data transfer because I thought new Watchlist was a piece of junk and I didnt want to use it.  Most people agreed with me (see all the comments) and have found new portfolio managers to track their stock performance.

    I guess its too late to import your data from the old PM.  FT.com, Google Finance and Morningstar are popular destinations for free online portfolio managers.   Also take a look at Quicken for software that is downloaded to your computer (but not free).

    This I my first time trying to get to my watch list. Didn't even know they changed things up. I am using my iPad so that may be this issue, but I can't even get to anything called "import" or "my account". When I use "watch list" drop down, I only have three choices: Create New, Manage Watchlist, or Manage Transactions. Any suggestions?
