Wrong number of shares remaining displayed

[Bob_Patton]

I'm evaluating Fund Manager with the idea of leaving my old DOS PFROI program behind and trying to set up my portfolio in Fund Manager. I have a stock that I acquired in 1991. It has split 3 times, I've reinvested dividends though part of that time and sold off shares a few times. Between importing and manually entering I've managed to get all of my transactions and the 3 stock splits into Fund Manager but it is not showing the correct number of shares or the correct cost basis. I have 409.105 shares with a cost basis of $1,803.61 but Fund Manager is showing that I have 5,751.418 shares at a cost basis of 104,592.78. Would anyone be willing to look over my transactions and tell me what I am doing wrong here? Thanks for your help.

Hi Bob,

When recording transactions you want to record them as they happened on that date. You do not want to adjust anything for the splits, that is taken care of automatically by recording split transactions. Please use the "Data Register" window to debug this. Turn OFF "View / Split Adjusted" and look at the "Investments (all)" data type. All of your transactions should show, as they happened on those dates. If they are not, select them, and edit them. Once they are all showing as they happened, switch to "Splits" data type, and make sure you have the 3 splits recorded. Your share balance should be correct after verifying all of this. If you still have questions, or need more help, you can email me your investment file, along with details of the transactions, and what you expect the share balance to be. I can take a look.

I think I may have just run across what my problem is. I think my redemptions have the wrong sign on them. Thanks for your reply though.
