I do not track investments much via downloaded prices, though there was a time when I did. I just do not agree with this approach as then users can no longer create "watch lists" nor can they get in and out of positions without losing data in between...RickO said:I hadn't noticed that until you pointed it out. They probably removed because they added the option to "download quotes only for indices and held securities". That's selectable as a checkbox at the top of the Securities window.
This solution was an attempt to address downloading problems within Quicken but I see it as a hammer for a thumbtack solution. I would hope they would restore the functionality at some point. Otherwise, this cripples Investment tracking in Quicken.Have Questions? Help Guide for Quicken for Mac

What I've done for the "Watch List" problem is create Add Shares transactions for 0.00001 shares for those in the watch list.RickO said:I hadn't noticed that until you pointed it out.

This essentially shows up in Quicken Mac as a $0.00 amount and the share price STILL downloads daily.0 -

This is interesting, but I don't think it actually solves my particular problem. I didn't realize the original disable download feature was intended for stocks that aren't held by you - supposedly if you have a stock then you want the latest price. Part of all of this is the fact that this whole multi-currency thing really doesn't work very well in Quicken, does it?RickO said:I hadn't noticed that until you pointed it out.
