Enter Pink Sheet Stocks In Microsoft Money

Pink Sheet stocks are usually penny stocks that are unlisted on national exchanges such as the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) or the American Stock Exchange because of low interest or inadequate funding. While some penny stocks are listed on a national exchange, most must be manually tracked in MSN Money (a collection of Internet sites and services provided by Microsoft) within the Investing Portfolio. The same holds true for privately held companies. In these cases, you must enter the data associated with the stock purchase yourself.


Instructions


1. Open the MSN Money Portfolio Manager.


2. Select the account to which you want to add the Pink Sheet stock.


3. Open the Common Tasks section, and click "Work With Investments."


4. Click "Record a Buy."


5. Type a name for the Pink Sheet stock and click "OK."


6. Select "Other" as the type of Investment when the Create New Investment Wizard starts.


7. Fill in as much information as you can about the purchase of the stock, including the purchase price, the number of shares purchased, the commission and any other information you want to track in your Money Portfolio Manager.
