IMO, Quicken sucks. Especially for investing. Most of the time it has no clue what stocks are in what areas. And "gains/losses" are calculated using some kind of superweirdo algorithm that would let you believe you have whatever returns you wanted. Don't like the percentage return it shows? Click two buttons to change "returns by account" to "returns by category" or something else and presto your 15% average return changes into 45%! Or vice versa. I stopped believing it ages ago. I use Quicken for all my finances, but would never recommend it for tracking investments. I use Yahoo for buy/sell limits and news. Brokerage accounts for real-time quotes and research. Excel for Buffettology calculations. I really need to program Excel to track buy/sell limits. Maybe some time...
