A potential cause of a strange entry in the price database could be an
erroneous transaction that was later corrected. When I manually enter
stock transactions, I sometimes make an error. If I have completed the
transaction entry, the erroneous information is added to the price
database. If I subsequently edit the transaction to correct it, then a
new item is added to the price database but the previous incorrect entry
is not removed.

Oops! I have seen that reminder so many times! Maybe redundant now:
Thank you for that. I need to go through Chapter 9, Investments, very
carefully. I removed the latest price (user:price, as opposed to
user:split-register and Finance::Quote for earlier prices) and got rid of
the extra six million dollars but I find lots of mysteries in the Price
Database besides just how that crazy price got there in the first place.

My Stock pages have "Current Value: " followed by a dollar amount at the

the
"Buy" entry above.
In four cases "Current Value" and "Buy" figures are rather different, but
not shockingly so.Please remember to copy the list on all replies.

In the fifth case, I have "Shares 120; Price 100.57; Buy 12,068.40." Then
"Current Value: $6,852,000.00." I'm pretty sure that is wrong, but what
is
causing the error?
The current value is the number of shares times the latest price in the
price database, so open Tools>Price Database and check the prices for that
stock.
