MS2004 Feature Question

Under tools, options, investments tab in 2004 Dlx, there is a check box
"Require a transfer account for each investment transaction". What is the
pros and cons of using this? I couldn't find any help on it.

Thanks,
Bob

Pro: it will suggest best practices for entering these kinds of
transactions--accounting for where the cash comes from or goes to--if you
don't already follow them. I may be wrong, but I don't think it will
actually REQUIRE them, only it will nag if you don't have one and will allow
you to continue if you really want to. Most of these choices, like require
expense/income category, are just nags, not hard limits.

Con: if you don't want to follow this best practice when entering these
types of transactions, you will get nagged incessantly.
