Please log in for more thread options 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.
