Need some info see if money is worth it?

I am on quicken and not happy with it. Does anyone know if
money has double entry? Does it it do corporate spin-off
and return to capitol?

It's not true double entry accounting. Versions higher than the Standard one
will do spin-offs, mergers, etc. All have return of capital transactions,
but only those that lower cost basis.

In order: No, Not directly, Yes.

Worth what?

FWIW, support for Money is free. You may get what you paid for, but that's
another thread.

I don't know Quicken terribly well; I've only messed with it a little bit
from time to time as I had access to machines that came with it. I suspect
the answer is yes. Microsoft goes to trouble to mirror Quicken in most all
basic functionality in order to attract Quicken users.

Hi, Michael:

Do you think there's ANY hope that they will evenutally include those Return
of Capital transactions when calculating Annualize Rate of Return? I was
hoping, but I've been disappointed again (I think it' 5 years now, since I
started with M00)

Hi Myrna
I'd be very surprised if that were included; probably not enough demand from
users to justify the expense.

Yeah, like modifying the line that lists the types of transactions that are
skipped...

Now they've put this calculation out on the web where everybody can see it,
not just the folks who've paid for Money.
