A Problem With the Naming of the Same Security in Different Accounts

Aug 31, 2005 0 Replies

I'm using Quicken 2005. For some time now, I have had a 401k, an ESPP, an ISO, and an NSO account. I'm using direct connect for the 401k (through TRowe Price) and the ESPP (through Fidelity). Right or wrong, I've named the securities (representing my employer's stock) in each of these accounts all differently. For example:



COMPANY XYZ STOCK FUND



COMPANY XYZ ESPP



COMPANY XYZ NSO



COMPANY XYZ ISO



This hasn't been a problem until I decided to sell some shares out of my ESPP. I'm not sure why, but the download from Fidelity recognizes the security as COMPANY XYZ STOCK FUND, so it thinks I'm making a short sale. Any idea how to straighten this out?


Thanks,



Pete
