Adding “cash” to my Google Finance portfolio

April 22nd, 2007 • Related • Filed Under

Google:

If you’re listening, please add the ability to track cash in the Google Finance portfolio tracking tool. I track my portfolio in this excellent tool but I can’t enter data related to my holdings in cash instruments. I should be able to enter the cash amount as “shares” with a value of $1.00.

I’m joining the chorus of others who’ve been asking for this feature.

    Does this mean I can’t enter cash in my portfolio?
    Every portfolio at one time or another has cash.

    I agree. Pleas add CASH as an option in Google portfolios.

    It would also be nice to be able to track government TSP funds, which aren’t listed on the exchanges, but for which data is still available (why they don’t list them I don’t know). Lots of people have money in TSP funds, and currently they can’t be conventionally tracked in any portfolio that I know of…

    DO YOU INTEND TO ADD THE “CASH” ENTRY IN YOUR PORTFOLIO MODEL? IT’S SUCH AN IMPORTANT ELEMENT OF THE TOTAL PORTFOLIO.
    THANKS.

    Add me to the list to add Cash to my Google portfolio. If Yahoo! can do it, why can’t Google?

    Anything Yahoo can do Google can do better. But seriously, why is Google so behind on adding this option?

    in the meantime, here’s a hack:
    Add a fund that maintains a $1/share NAV as a proxy- google carries RYPTX
    (The only such money market fund I have found so far)
