Schwab Brokerage account/Roth OFX

[Dean Gibson]

For Schwab non brokerage (eg, bank) accounts, the OFX feature works 
fine.  For Schwab brokerage accounts, I see CURRENT stock buy/sell & 
dividend transactions, but stock splits are not reported, or reported 
well (I forget which).  I have to do mutual fund reinvestments manually.

Transactions in the past (eg, all prior balances) are going to have to 
be entered manually.
