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!

    Adriana & Everyone,

    A relatively simple solution for longtime users of PM (with years of records and trades stored) and for Microsoft would be to allow the "work-around site" ( moneycentral.msn.com/stock_portfolio ) to continue FOR THEN EXISTING SUBSCRIBERS and, if MSN wishes, force the newer subscribers and usernames to use the 'new' PM, if they so choose.

    The old, work-around PM is still the most useful site for me, even though they have slightly corrupted the "news" access for a particular stock by sending many of the clicks to the 'improved' Money site where it is impossible to find the news story that was referenced.  That happens for me about 25% of the time I try to read a company-related story.  Of course, not being able to input new trades or to add/delete companies is also a bummer.  Still, it's better than what I can find anywhere else with the 64 companies in my portfolio.

    Even though I cannot modify my portfolio of stocks on the work-around site, the current data that is provided (especially with the Custom View, which I use) continues to be very useful to me.

    I am not computer or site savvy but I KNOW, WITHOUT ANY DOUBT, that the engineers at MSN could allow the work-around site to continue for many, many years if Adriana and her supervisors would recommend it to MSN.  It's a matter of good customer support and it's just as simple as that.

    MSN, here is an opportunity to really support a significant segment of your user base.  How about showing some 'Good Faith'?  If that decision is made, I think a lot of good PR would result if Adriana would make a post of that decision instead of just letting things stay as they are and letting everyone wonder!  Let us users know that you are looking out for us!

    (By the way, I really like the options of the Reply box we are using!)

    Good Luck, everyone!

    My backup plan which i have now been using for about 2 years is with a Company called Fund Manager, i had to pay for it and i have done "double" bookkeeping for the last 2 years but now it looks like a pretty good decision. They can take your old  MSN Portfolio Manager which you can still get thru this website        http://moneycentral.msn.com/stock_portfolio and copy it to their site so that all your data is good. It is a very robust site and the guy that owns it is very responsive.

    Lawrence HW thanks but the problem is that i have 20 years of data in the MSN Portfolio Manager and my file size is too big for M* I have a paid for portfolio so i do have a backup plan but it is a shame that MSN is doing this to people that have had the site for that long.
