If you want more information about this transition, or if you are experiencing any issues with the new portfolio, please post them in the thread here. This will keep all of the issues in one place, which means we can gather and fix them a lot sooner--
Thanks--

I am unable to update my investments. I keep getting the statement "server not responding, please try again later". This started 9/1 and is continuing today. Any suggestions? My last update was 8/22 and it was ok.

In the past Intuit normally responds.
1. Ask the users to post specific problems (i.e ticker symbols) like there is one or two symbols bad or one or two users.
2. Then they go silent
3. Then they announce that is a problem with one of their date providers and it will take 2,3,?? months to resolve
4. Then they go silent
5. THey announce everything is fixed
6. When the users point out that it is not fixed. They go back to step 1 above

One other clarification, please. Under File>Import...I do not see an option for the .txt file. Do you select the QIF File option and just select the .txt file you saved?

Saturday I went through my entire portfolio and manually corrected the closing prices for 8/21/08 through 8/29/08. Today I downloaded quotes at the end of the day and all of my manual work has been overridden with incorrect data. C, for example, has its 8/29 quote changed to $39.94 even though I had corrected it Saturday. Something major is amiss.

Is the problem that Quicken is now supplying the data where before it had been coming from Yahoo? I suspect Quicken is trying to develop its own database. Yahoo was extremely reliable. So far the new data is a dud.
Everything with NetStock updates seems to working as expected, except I cannot get the Dow, S&P or Nasdaq to update using NetStock symbols. Any idea how to update the exchanges?
You must edit the "prices.txt" file and change the symbols NetStock uses to the symbols Quicken uses.
For example, DJI for Dow Jones Industrial.
Open your security list for the symbols used in Quicken.

I used the symbols for the exchanges as listed in Quicken, but NetStock did not recognize them and assign a quote price.

Hello,
First of all, I want to thank everyone in the Quicken community who has been pointing out issues with the new Quicken.com Investing Portfolio and quotes. We sincerely regret the problems that our customers have faced, and we are doing everything we can to address those issues as quickly as possible. This message is to provide an update on the status of those initiatives.
Quotes
Many users have reported problems with specific historic quotes. We have some good leads, and we are optimistic that we should have a fix in the next 1-2 days. We consider this our #1 priority.
Separately, some users have reported that Class A and B stock, and preferred stock is either not downloading or downloading incorrectly. We are currently investigating. We believe this is likely the result of a formatting issue. We will provide more detail as we progress.
Website enhancements
The top user request has been a single comprehensive view of all portfolios. We are targeting having the feature enhance released by early October – and we are hoping to release even sooner.
Portfolio Export
Due to prioritizing historical quotes issues, we are targeting releasing Portfolio Export the week of September 15 – but we hope to have it earlier than that if we make solid progress. We are conducting extensive testing to ensure a high quality product release.
Again, I would like to thank our many users who have been patient with the issues we have encountered. Let me reiterate that we are listening to everyone’s feedback and trying to address all of the issues as quickly as possible. Please do not hesitate to let us know any additional suggestions or feedback.

This is hardly an adequate description of the Quotes problems and other problems specific to QK 2009.
There is no appology of any kind for releasing software that is not finished (QK 2009) and the new Quotes processing which is a seperate process without adequate testing.
So it is not possible to take your comments seriously. Quicken have alot to do with the user base to rebuild credibility, let along to fix the Quotes tool, and the Desktop software problems.
The blurb on the support site is another lie from Quicken where it claims that deleteing the prices and redownloading the quotes will solve the problem. Absolutely untrue. Over the last several days, I have never gotten a correct Quote download. This all starting with an empty .QPH file.

Ben,
I am quite perturbed that your priority list does not include just getting the new product to work. The second portfolio in my list of portfolios does not display either a chart or holdings. Once I try to display this portfolio none of the others display either.
I also very amused this evening when my overall portfolio total decreased by about $100,000, all the days's changes were negative yet my daily increase displays at a positive $167,000.
That has nothing to do with any data feeds but merely cra..y programming.

An easier way to do this is to change the symbol in Quicken, otherwise you have to edit the PRICES.TXT file each time you save a new copy. The symbols I've provided below are the ones that Yahoo uses and these are the ones that you'll want to add to NetStock to look up for you.
When you change the symbol in Quicken you'll have the option to copy all the previous quotes - which you'll want to do.
When Intuit finally fixes the quote problems you can change the symbols in Quicken back.
Symbols:
Dow Jones 20 Transportation ^DJT
Dow Jones Industrials ^DJI
NASDAQ Composite ^IXIC
Russell 2000 ^RUT
S&P 500 Index ^GSPC

The prices for September 2, 2008 are correct. Unfortunately, They are the same prices for September 1 resulting in no price change for September 2nd. Additionally, the prices for the prior week are totally incorrect. When will the price history for stocks be corrected?

Whenever I download Quotes, the quotes from 8/25 to current date get overwritten with bad quotes. I manually correct and next day I update quotes it imports bad date again. Is anyone else having this problem.

I think that when you update the quotes it downloads the current date and 4 days earlier, so if you correct something and do a download your corrections are over written.
Add a new ticker to your porfolio and do a download (of the one item only) and then look at the price history, you sell 5 days populated.
So until we have assurance that Quicken has really fixed this, you are sort of wasting your time to do correct prices if you then do an updated/download from my vantage point

Since installing QFW 2009,I am having problems with the historical prices being screwed up. This results in totally erroneous gains and losses. If this cannot be straightened out in short order, I would like my money back. I advise anyone who has not yet upgraded not to do so.
