Way back in the early days of MD I decided to have a cash account for each 
Portfolio.  Like the linked accounts that I was used to in Quicken.

Sean has never cotten'ed to this notion of linked or cash accounts.  The 
feeling is,  just use the Cash Balance of the portfolio.   I don't like 
this because I can't see the transactions in the cash balance.

  I just transfer my interest income to the cash account,  I transfer and 
buy and sell securities from the cash account.  If I ever see any $$$ in 
the Portfolio Cash Balance, I know I have made an error.  The 
disadvantage is you have to add your Portfolio balance and the cash 
account to see the total value of the portfolio.

So,  use the Portfolio Cash [ which I think most people do ] or create a 
Cash account like I do.  There may be even other methods which you may 
hear about.  You are quite free to use the software the way hat works for 
you.

Good luck.
