Is there a way to break down the bond allocation into long,
intermediate and short term for the rebalancer?

No. The only available asset classes are those supplied by
Value Line from whom those classes are downloaded.

That's too bad, you'd think will all the updates from Quicken, that
would be one of them since it is an important part of asset allocation.

I think you miss the point. Quicken has no direct source of
asset classification; Quicken must look to other companies who
can provide such information. Are you ignoring the fact that
asset allocation requires the ability to determine and designate
the asset classes of all securities you own ... stocks, bonds,
MUTUAL FUNDS, etc.. Gathering and providing such
classifications is no trivial matter. If the other companies
who might have that information charge Intuit too much for the
*privilege* of downloading that information, it's just not going
to be available to Quicken users.

My question was can it be manually imputted. I know which bonds I own
are long short etc... I don't need a service to provide this info to
me and I would think most investors sure better know what the maturity
of their bonds are. I just want to be able to put this stuff in
myself. Otherwise the asset allocation tool in Quicken is very
limited.
