stock swap

[glenm]

When Exxon purchased XTO Energy, XTO stock was exchanged for Exxon stock, 212 Exxon shares for 300 XTO shares. What is the best way of handling this in Fund Manager.
Thanks, glenm

Hi glenm,

You can record this with a split and then change the name/symbol. Record a 212 for 300 split, and then go into "Investment Properties..." and change the name/symbol from XTO to Exxon.
