Hi;
I own shares of Under Armour (NYSE:UA). On 4/8/16, they did a "Tax exempt dividend/stock split" and I ended up with a 1:1 split but with a new class of stock. (UA/C). How do I enter this in my register?

   Hi;

   I looked at that before writing, but I guess I didn’t think it was the same issue. Upon reading it properly and with due focus, I realized that it did, indeed, address my problem.

   Thanks;

   Mike

   With all due respect, I do not agree that "you guys rock".

   A quick search reveals that users have been clamoring for a way to account for spinoffs for YEARS. With each "upgrade" of Moneydance, this feature is not included. Indeed, while there may be changes under the hood, basic accounting features continue to be neglected and given passing concern with a half-hearted promise to "look into it". Or refer the customer to a user-written article on how to work-around this missing feature.

    I'm sorry, but I just spent an upgrade fee from MD 2012 because of an issue syncing with Fidelity (security certificates coded into the software instead of a lookup file?!? C'mon!!!), and I find the feature set of the new software to be IDENTICAL what I was running 4 years ago. A stock I own is going to spin off soon, and I have HUNDREDS of transactions (purchases, dividends) that will need to be MANUALLY ENTERED. I'm pissed off, because this software is supposed to make my life easier!

   I chose MD way back then because it was the only Mac compatible personal finance software that imported my old data properly. I held my nose at some of the missing features and the horribly unsightly, bush-league bitmapped charts, expecting that the software would evolve and improve. I've seen nothing of the sort. Changing the font while continuing to make empty promises to add CRITICAL features will no longer cut it with me. I'm going to start looking elsewhere.
