Probably not much you can do about this, but I just downloaded transactions from Fidelity (into FM 7.1) for an IRA account, and discovered that instead of characterizing dividend reinvestment purchases (in a bond fund) as single transactions, they reflect a separate dividend payment (as if to cash) and corresponding share purchase for each transaction. It's at least ugly, and I wonder if it might mess up some of the statistics in FM (maybe out-of-pocket cost)? Too bad no standard (like OFX) specifies enough to REALLY standardize across the many players in an industry as big and diverse as investments.
