 Over the last few months, I've seen numerous posts about the data
being transmitted from Intuit to your Quicken accounts. Apparently,
NO ONE is LISTENING! Tonight, I had to manual upgrade five
securities. It's sad that YAHOO can get the quotes right thirty
minutes after the markets close.

Since 1992 I have religiously upgraded my Quicken. Knowing full well
there was not that much difference between the previous year and the
new year's edition. 2008 is different. Since Intuit chooses not to
listen to our voices, maybe they'll pay attention to bottom line. THE
PRODUCT HAS LOST IT'S RELIABILITY! I will NOT upgrade to the 2008
edition.

Next, speaking of of Intuit revenue, do you realize that if you
download information from your bank, you are paying a monthly service
charge. The monthly charge is $5.95. It's not that difficult to
manual enter your transactions. Plus, how reliable is the data being
entered for you? And yes, the reason for the monthly charge is to pay
for the service! You can bet financial institutions are paying
royalites to both Intuit (Quicken) and Microsoft (Money).

Hopefully when sales decrease, someone will finally understand why!
Product quality has gone down the tubes.

Done typing, done buying annual s/w upgrades and done paying monthly
bank fees for a product I have to review DAILY for accuracy!!

 I sincerely hope you are not making any important financial decisions based
on Quicken or Yahoo quotes.
I liked Warren Buffet's response to the Dow tanking one day last month:

"I don't watch the markets." ;-)

Bob,

All I'm suggesting, over the last 6 months of erroneous electronic
data feeds to our Quicken files, is to stop talking about it
(unreliable data) and do something about it as consumers.

Is there anything wrong with asking for a company to provide the
deliverables they promote?

I'll let Warren know you were thinking about him this evening.

Happy trading and manually reviewing your Quicken data.

Regards

Now, now, no need to be testy.

I just think it's telling that only a handful of the MILLIONS of Quicken
users complain about quotes being inaccurate.

If *I* were Intuit, and *IF* level of dissatisfaction guided my resource
allocation; this problem would have low priority, as it apparently does ;-)

I pretty much agree with you. I pay no bank charges aside from personalized
checks. (the cost of printing them, not for processing them) ..the books I
bought 5 years ago are barely used. I update prices (manually) monthly,
quarterly or semiannually--depends how much spare time I have. That way I
KNOW that they are accurate. It is not necessary for me to know my EXACT net
worth on a daily or even weekly basis.
