Quicken Confuses General Motors (GM) and General Mills (GIS) at TDAmeritrade

Richard Anderson

I had 800 shares of GIS at TDAmeritrade. Quicken (Windows AND Mac AND Web) all say that I also have 800 shares of GM, and makes a placeholder for it. I delete the placeholder, it comes back.-
I tried to trick it by selling 400 shares of GIS and buying 400 shares of GM. The Quickens now  correctly say I have 400 shares of GIS, but incorrectly say I have 400 + 400 shares of GM — 400 real shares, plus 400 phantom shares.- Tired of having to delete the phantom shares after every download, I finally gave up and sold all 400 GM and 400 GIS. Still not done, I had to go in and clean up phantom GM sales resulting in a balance of -800 shares.

Richard, are you using QMac or QWin?

Richard Anderson

QMac (primarily) and still QWin (because QWin has much better investment reporting. They both had the same problem with GIS & GM at TDAmeritrade. ——— the eMoney and Personal Capital portals did NOT have that problem. They both reported GIS & GM holdings correctly.
