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!

    Yesterday, Dec 8, my MSN Portfolio stated that it would end Dec 22, news to me.  I followed the instructions, deleted old Watchlist, added new Watchlist, retry the migration.  I have done this numerous times.  All my portfolio items become separate lines, no items in the Watchlist.  Each account is a separate 'watchlist' I guess.

    When I look at 'portfolio holdings' at each separate listing, a couple them have the correct number of shares.  Most of them have an incorrect number of shares.  I can look at the older Portfolio, and it does have the correct number of shares.  I can't tell why they do not migrate correctly.

    I can't tell why all items are not within the Watchlist in the form of a Portfolio, with subtotals and total.

    I will be out of the country Dec 12-22.  It looks like I will return to find that I cannot access my portfolio.

    I will not be able to make an end of year report.

    I find no way to actually ask either MSN or Microsoft, only several forums.  Each of those simply refer to the same instructions.

    Very Frustrating.

    I'm not getting a prompt to import either. Apparently some users are, based on their posts. What could explain why some can and some can't?

    To: MSN Portfolio Manager Geniuses

    Have you ever heard "if it ain't broke, don't fix it"????

    This new Watchlist is an abominable screw up by MSN!!!  Whoever was responsible should be looking for a new job.  Give us back the old version with the many options that are no longer available,
