: So, it appears as if retrieving Money Market information, when the Banking Account Data Box is checked, leads to a sort of double accounting as the portfolio I'm building now shows a (-)10% return whereas before it showed a 10% return. As mentioned, it appears Ameritrade does not itemize Money Market interest.

: I'd like to just delete this Money Market position and start from scratch, but don't want to further wreck the numbers I've already carefully input. Can you carefully guide me through the rebuilding only of this portion of a portfolio?

Hi SteveS,

If you delete the Money Market you will lose all transactions in the money market. To do this, just go to the Portfolio Editor, and select the money market and then do "Edit / Close". Now, you can re-create the money market if you'd like. You can either re-create it by hand, or do another transaction retrieve. If you do another transaction retrieve make sure to turn on the option to skip transactions already in Fund Manager, so you only get transactions for this money market. If you do get some extra transactions you don't want, you can remove the check mark next to them in the Preview dialog, before committing the transactions.

Thanks,
Mark
