David, I really like this, but I have a couple of comments With the "We will take the stock Amazon (AMZN) as an example", I would recommend: "We will take the stock Amazon as an example. It is traded on the NASDAQ under the stock symbol AMZN"
In GnuCash 4.12 on my Mac, I don't have a "Type" field -- it's called "Name Space" instead... I thought one needed to put the correct exchange there, but now I'm not sure.
