: I have imported price data from my old DOS-based FundMaster program
: and these prices were adjusted by that program whenever I entered a
: distribution. As a result, some funds that have monthly distributions
: have had their prices reduced quite a bit from their historical values.
: When I imported my transactions, these were, (of course), at historical
: unadjusted prices, so that my graphs look like my fund's prices had
: monthly explosions for no apparent reason. Can anyone explain how to
: do the imports properly so that this doesn't happen? Thanks. Hi Josh,
If your source of prices is adjusted for distributions, there is no
good way to un-adjust them... You may be better off, just re-retrieving
historical prices from the "Yahoo (Historical)" quote server. See "Options/
Internet Settings..." to change the server, and then do a retrieve. For
more on this feature see: http://www.fundmanagersoftware.com/intrtv.html Thanks,
Mark
