I have a problem.
I have a brokerage account with Fidelity for my Roth IRA.
This is what I did:
On one day I deposited $4000 into my brokerage core account, a money market account.
A few days later I bought $3000 worth of funds with $1000 left over from the core account.
Within the next few days I bought $1000 worth of funds and I liquidated a fund with the intention of using the cash from that sale to buy more of another fund I already own ($3175.55 worth). Because the second fund was not a "Fidelity family fund" I was required to park the money in the core account for a day or so before I could turn around and make the purchase, so I at some point my core account might have had $4175.55 in it.
When I down loaded my transactions from Fidelity, Quicken shows a short sell of $3000 and all my purchases.
It also shows a Sold of $3175.55 and Bought of $3175.55 respectively of the fund I liquidated and the fund of which I bought more shares.
It also shows the Bought of $1000 of the other funds I purchased.
So good, so far.
But then it shows a "Bought" into my core account of $2175.55 (not $3175.55 -the amount I parked there till I could make my purchase) and a Sold of $3185.55. It's this latter download Quicken will not let be accepted.
Every time I try to Accept it it says: "You should use two transactions: one to sell the shares you hold and one to create your short position."
So somewhere $1000 is not being accounted for as a Buy in my money market core account.
Plus I now also have a cash balance of $824.44 which is such an odd figure but if you add it to the $2175.55 it's almost $3000, which would match the short sell amount of $3000, but really I have no idea how to reconcile this.
Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks.
