Historical Prices - Q2008HB

Apr 26, 2008 2 Replies

I'm a little confused. I'm noticing a few things I've either ignored in the past or I need to make some adjustment to the data file I've just converted from Q2005HB to Q2008HB. I just went on line through the One Step Update and hit my banks and brokerages. Perhaps this message has been there in the past but I haven't noticed it in the "One Step Update Summary" window: "Historical Prices - None of the requested securities were recognized".


My "Quotes" got serviced and my Investment accounts appear to have changed in line with what was expected for Friday but I'm puzzled by the message. I'm not intentionally recording historical prices anywhere. A brief scan of the Help file speaks of download these by range but I've not done that in the past. I simply update my net worth each day. most of the time.


Can someone give me some reassurance that I'm not missing something important with regard to keeping an accurate accounting of my net worth? I may well be overlooking another feature that I've never used but I hope it's not a critical one.

I see the same message and simply assumed that it's there since I do an update every evening, so there's no "historical" data to download.

I guess I could prove that (or at least get make a stronger assumption) if I waited a few days between updates to see what happens.

If you learn anything more on the subject, I'd apprecaiate your sharing it, Bert. Thanks.
