Question

How do I add and keep saved new Watchlists in Microsoft Money. I have created the same watchlist 3 times today and it does not save

Answer 1

Hello George Carter,

The not-saving part looks like MSN Money hiccup rather than anything you're doing wrong. A few things worth checking:

• Make sure you're signed into the same Microsoft account each time, since watchlists save to the account rather than the browser.
• Create and manage the watchlist on the desktop site (mobile only edits the main list), and after adding or reordering, select Save in the Manage view so it persists.
• Open the watchlist page directly via https://www.msn.com/en-us/money/watchlist, then clear Edge cache or try an InPrivate window before re-adding.

If it still won't hold after that, it's most likely a temporary service-side sync glitch rather than your setup, so giving it some time and retrying often helps.

Answer 2

MSN Money watchlists are created and managed differently depending on the device, and there are some limits that can explain why changes don’t appear to be saved.

On Windows (desktop/browser):

To create and keep a new Watchlist:

1. Go to MSN Money in a browser or the Windows app: msn.com/money or the Windows Store app.
2. Use the Search stocks, ETFs & more search bar to find a stock or company.
3. Hover over the company name and select the + button to add it to your Watchlist, or open the company and choose Follow.
4. If there is more than one Watchlist, choose which Watchlist to add it to.
5. To manage (rename, reorder, move, or copy) items, select My Watchlist from the top menu bar, then Manage.
6. After reordering, select Save so the changes persist.

Key points about saving and managing watchlists:

• On Windows/desktop, multiple Watchlists can be created and managed (reorder, move, copy, remove items). These changes are saved when Save is selected in the Manage view.
• On mobile (iOS/Android), only the main Watchlist can be edited. Additional Watchlists must be created and managed on a desktop PC via MSN Money.
• If a Watchlist seems to disappear on mobile, ensure the Watchlist was created and saved on the desktop site/app first, then use mobile only to add/remove items from the main Watchlist.

If a Watchlist has been created multiple times and does not appear to be saved, verify:

• The Watchlist is being created on the desktop MSN Money (not only on mobile).
• After managing/reordering, the Save button is selected.
• The correct Watchlist is selected under My Watchlist when checking for the saved list.
