Quicken 4.0 is much better at keeping track of certain types of assets than was Quicken 3. It has a whole subsystem for stocks and mutual funds. Even so, there are some things it won't do and a few bugs in some of the reports. It isn't set up to handle short sales very well, or options at all (although they can be treated as stocks). The income reports seem to be correct, but the Net Worth report sometimes makes bizzare caluculations of some securities while getting the others correct. I can't figure it out. ----------------------------------------------__------------------------------ David Albert | / ) / UUCP: ...!harvard!albert | / / __. , ___o __/ INTERNET: albert@harvard.edu |/__/__(_/|__\/ <___(_/_
