How to add a stock price?

[John Oliver]

Quicken 2005 Deluxe R4

My Roth IRA is in a mutual fund. When I click on that account and go to
the "Summary" tab, I see my fund with Quote/Price, Shares, Market Value,
etc. When I click on the + sign, I see all of the transactions. I
could swear that, at one time, I was able to add items in that list, not
transactions, but just daily quotes. It's been a few weeks since I made
a contribution, and I'd like to add a quote every other day or so to
keep the market value as current and accurate as possible, and to keep
the history finer-grained.

What you see when you click on the + sign are each lot purchased. No
you can not add to this list - other than thru purchases. Sells will
remove lots from the list.

I think you are looking for the Price History - right-click on the
security name and select Price History. You can add to this list -
manually or thru online updates.

Actually, one can modify "historical" prices on the Summary tab
of the account or the Portfolio tab of the Investing Center.
But op is just not picturing the process correctly: one doesn't
really add anything to the lot history for the security (which
represents purchase transactions), one just modifies the
price/share value shown for a security for a given date. In
other words, you chose the date whose price you want to specify
with the "As of" box at the top of the pane, then put the cursor
in the Quote/Price field for the security (not for the "lot")
and key in the price for that date. Once the cursor is moved
out of the field, the new price will be visible. This does the
same thing as modifying the "Price History" (and for some people
or some situations, adding prices to the Price History may be
more convenient).

Is the mutual fund a common one that is traded and is represented by a
trading symbol? If so, can you simply use the "One Step Update" and let
Quicken automagically add the current value for you? Am I missing something
in your original Post??
