Why have multiple-company entries disappeared?

Question

Suddenly last night multiple entries of ticker symbols have disappeared from my portfolios. This also happened to my sister in her Yahoo F. account. So for example, I bought DIA twice and entered each "DIA" with its purchase data (date, shares, price, notes). Now only the first DIA purchase I entered shows up on the portfolio. Yet when I go to the edit mode, both still show up. What can I do to correct this? Thanks

Answer 1

This really sucks. The new layout is hard on the eyes. You can convert your portfolio into their new transactions format by clicking the "Add Transaction History" link, and then you can select for the converted portfolio to show duplicate listings separately. However, the new transactions format does not seem to allow tickers without at least one share owned. So if you put 1 for number of shares, it distorts your portfolio totals. What a bunch of morons.

Answer 2

I've gotten word back from Yahoo! that they changed the layout of the Finance Portfolios pages "to make them more consistent with other Yahoo! pages."

So now the Finance Portfolios pages are more consistent with all the other changes that Yahoo has made recently that nobody likes. I suspect that nobody will like this one, either, and that Yahoo couldn't care less.
