Estimating Income from FI nemo 09-13-2006

 I need help in determining which numbers to enter in the Security/Edit
Security Details/Other Info box in order to get the correct "Estimated
Income" result on the "Investing Center" For CD's and bonds, do I enter the
stated interest rate of the issue, or the stated rate divided by the
remaining time to maturity? For dividend paying stocks, do I enter the
"dividend per share" number, or the "dividend yield" number?

Thanks

According to the Q2005 Glossary, the "Est. Income" field on the
Other Info box is the estimated annual income per share; where
annual income consists of interest, dividends, and
distributions.

When "Estimated Income" is selected to appear in a Portfolio tab
view, Quicken calculates it by multiplying the "Est. Income"
value from the Security List by the number of shares you own.
