: : Mark,

: : When retreiving transactions from Yahoo, the # shares received is rounded to 3 decimal places, but my Fidelity account from which yahoo imports from use 4 decimal places. As a result the total number of shares don't match. This is a source of frustration when checking FM with my statements. Is there anyway to recieve transactions to 4 decimal places?

: : Thanks//Cliff

: Or maybe its that Yahoo sends only 2 decimal places and Fidelity uses 3.

: Regards//Cliff

Hi Cliff,

Unfortunately Yahoo only reports the shares to 2 significant digits. We
have contacted them before about this, and currently there is no way to
adjust this. It wouldn't hurt if you wanted to write Yahoo and tell them
you'd like to see your share digits reported to 3 or more significant digits.
Maybe if they get enough feedback on this they will improve this service.

Thanks,
Mark
