Historical Return for Watch List Securities

I am interested in adding new securities (stocks or mutual funds) to the Watch List (Quicken 2007) and having it show the historical return for those securities in % terms for periods of time (YTD, 1 yr, 3 yr, etc). However, when I add new securities (no shares owned) and download the historical information, I find the % return columns all show N/A as if there is no data.

Is there a way to do the above?

Thanks for any help.

Most Quicken returns are computed for shares you own; you own no shares, hence no returns.

I suspected that might be the case but something called a Watch List should work for zero shares owned. You might be watching the security for a possible future purchase.
