Adding a new account for a preferred stock
billwoolf2
I added a new account for a preferred stock. The stock shows up in my Securities List but not in my Account List. The stock is a new issue and doesn't follow the regular preferred stock symbol format. The symbol is COFPL. It will later become COF.PL I think.

Hi
@billwoolf2
So, it sounds like you added this preferred stock to your "Security List" but I am not sure what you may have done with the account. How do you hold this "preferred stock" - is it with a brokerage firm, or in a retirement plan, or is it held in some other way?

Preferred stock should be added to quicken as a security, which I think you have done. It should not show up in an account list because it it is not an account. For it to be listed as a holding
within
an account, you need to have entered a BUY transaction or an ADD shares transaction. The ticker symbol issue should not limit your ability to enter a buy or add shares transaction for the new security. You can manually enter a ticker symbol now and/or later via the edit security dialog.

As mentioned - you will need to mimic the real brokerage Account - and BUY or at least ADD shares to the account.

I found the answer to my problem. I had not entered the Account Name in the step where it said Add Account. I had skipped that page by accident. Thanks for your replys.
