expired options

[Homer]

Mark, I have had some options expire worthless. When I retrieved the transactions for that time period, it puts in an entry for -100 shares for each contract just as it put in 100 shares for each contract when I bought. The symbol and the CUSIP match, but FM still has the original buy and the expire listed. They do not match somehow and net to zero. How to I fix this so that I can use hide sold investments and hide my poor decisions?


Thanks, Homer

Hi Homer,

Do I understand correctly, that the purchase and sell went into different investments? If so, you can copy/paste the sell into the investment that had the purchase, and then close the investment with the sell. Do this in the Data Register. Select the sell, and use the double down arrow to "Copy" it to the clipboard, move over to the other investment, and use the double down arrow to "Paste" the transaction.

Thanks Mark. That worked great! - Homer
