MMF Money Market Fund prices jumping all over

I have holdings in a money market fund whose price is kept always at $1.
Money 2006 Premium keeps downloading "updates" for this fund that make the
price jump between $1.00 and $4.94 - $4.98. I delete the bogus prices from
the price history, but they keep coming back.

There are no transactions recorded at this price, but it sure makes my net
worth jump around a lot.

What's going on, and how can I make it stop doing that?

I fixed it (maybe) by creating a new investment and rebuilding the
transaction history. We'll see what happens next.

Nope, didn't help. I'm sure I entered the symbol correctly. What's going on?

Maybe I should just leave the symbol blank, but then my dividends will have
to be entered by hand. I've already had to take other accounts offline
altogether because of weird bugs.

This is flaky. Any ideas?

Work around it by blanking the symbol for the MMF, and then delete
the non-$1 quotes.

That seems to have worked, even after I re-entered the symbol.

Thanks!

Pretending to be a MAN, Merle?????????????

I must take a brief moment to comment on this little matter. Merle
Elaine Matthews will do and say anything to appear to be "somebody".



If you really want to be a man, us guys can give you a few pointers,
Merle.



Have a BLESSED Day,

I'm having the exact same problem. What I find interesting is that if I go
directly to msn.com (using a browser, not the Money application) and get a
chart of the fund, I see the same $4-ish prices. I think what it's doing is
pulling the fund Yield instead of the Share Price. Check it out:
http://moneycentral.msn.com/investor/charts/chartdl.aspx?Symbol=SWMXX

THis is, to put it bluntly, a horrendous error/bug. Is this the proper
forum to alert Microsoft employees to this problem, or is there some other
forum they monitor?

Apparently it's not a new issue, either. During the last couple years I've
seen jumping around in my net worth from around 2003 or so. I hadn't gotten
around to finding the reason because it has been correct more recently. But
after this happened, I went back and found the same problem with a different
MMF that I held back then.

I think the new quotes recently overwrote the old data. Since it is
a MMF, there is really no need to fetch quotes, so the temporary
workaround is not harmful.

I don't think that new quotes caused it, at least not recently. It was a
different fund, which I haven't owned for a long time. Besides, I've seen it
like that for a couple years now.

Anyway, that problem is fixed. Only a few more to go...
