Eric, Keep in mind that the calculations are simple multiplications and additions and as you noted thousands of users don't have a problem with them, so the problem is bad inputs to those calculations. We need to find the sources of those inputs and they're most likely in the pricedb. The questions I asked are a start to that process; unfortunately your answers don't completely answer them. Please try again.
I've another one as well: See if there are any entries for the stocks in GBP.
