Well, I have transactions from the last five years on my portfolio. I have repeatedly downloaded the historical prices for the entire date range. It tends to take a very long time. I am trying to generate reports from the inception untill the end of that year. Then the whole next year and so on. The difficulty I am having is that I still own the stocks on the date I set the report end date, so there is an incorrect price on each stock recorded. I know this becase I check them with my statements from fidelity. The prices could possibly be different because the historical update could be importing the closing price for the day while I have the purchase price listed on my records, but I don't think this is the case because the numbers are too far off in some cases. Here is a Portfolio value report generated for Dec 31 2001. Here are a few holdings that are off.

e - 12/31/2001

Heres what the software has:

Investment Name % Price Shares Value ($)
DKE 28.70* 500.000 14,350.00 I have 26.35
The Southern Company 22.64* 650.000 14,716.00 i have 25.35
The Charles Schwab Corp. 28.44* 850.000 24,174.00 I have 15.47!!!!!!
NIKE, Inc. 48.44* 0.000 0.00
* = Interpolated Price

Here is another possible problem. My statement records a total net worth that is vary close to the beiley portfolio value. But my ending market value is substantially less. Originally I thought the reports considered value to be the value of the holdings excluding the money market balance. Now I am not so sure.
I know this is a lot to process at one time. I appriciate all your assistance so far in helping prepare the portfolio.
Thanks
Eddie

: : I am trying to calculate the return of the portfolio from the date of inception to the closing of the same year. In order to do that I need the purchase price ( which I have) and I also need to know the price of the date of closing. The software does not seem to be able to find those prices from downloading historical prices from yahoo. I need to find a way to imput the closing prices manualy if we cannot gather them from a historical database.

: Hi Eddie,

: Have you confirmed the prices you need aren't on Yahoo (Historical)"? What ticker symbol and date are you not able to retrieve?

: Thanks,
: Mark
