Many of Quicken's performance measures are based on your purchase and sales history and thus don't work for the Watch List.

One exception is the Return (%) columns, which use data downloaded from Quicken's quote provider. Unfortunately this data is sometimes not up to date and may incorrectly show as N/A if you don't own any shares.

If you provide examples of the securities affected, we may be able to provide additional help.
