MY FOUR GOALS
Jonathan Clements | Editor of HumbleDollar.com

I’m probably a year or two away from regularly tapping my portfolio for income. That prospect—coupled with this year’s market turmoil—has led me to tinker with my investment mix and ponder how I’ll generate cash once I’m retired. One surprising result: I have more in stocks today than I’ve had at any time in the past three years, and I’m thinking of increasing my allocation even further.

Transactions / Re: Unable to download transactions from Vanguard

« Last post by TopDog on August 02, 2020, 09:58:24 AM »

I have updated to the most current version of IAM (3.2.1).  When I try to download Vanguard transactions, I get a message stating that "There were NO transactions in the file that was downloaded." 

I know that there are transactions to download.

I do see a message that my sign on was Successful, so I think I'm making the connection to Vanguard.

Any suggestions?  I will follow the suggestion earlier in the thread to download the OFX file.

There is no means to set up / schedule automatic deposits to a brokerage cash account. However, if you download the activity each month from your broker, the deposit can be posted that way with all other monthly activity.

If you have any add'l questions, please contact our technical support team at techsupport@investmentaccountmanager.com

With summer now under way, gardening hobbyists are busily weeding, watering and tending to their plants in hope of a bountiful crop.


All gardeners know that the better the care, the better the harvest. And, just as a gardener equally will tend to all the ‘rows’ in their vegetable or flower gardens, an investor must equally manage all the investment portfolios they own, including their taxable and non-taxable accounts.

Transactions / Unable to download transactions from Vanguard

« Last post by markrtuttle on June 27, 2020, 09:50:01 PM »

I'm unable to create a portfoilo and download my transaction history from Vanguard. 

I go to file -> new portfolio -> download from financial institution -> download all available historical activity, I enter portfolio name, I choose financial institution Vanguard Group and I enter my username and password for the vanguard.com web site, I click connect, and I get

An error message was received from your financial institution.  The title of the message received is "no title shown." To view the error, open the file OFX_Error.html in your web browser.

I have no idea how to proceed. I have no idea where the file OFX_Error.html is.

I are running the demo version of IAM that I just downloaded to try out.

Thanks,
Mark
