James One obvious problem seems to be that you have AMXN set as the parent account of AMZN in the screenshot of the Account edit dialogue. This is non-sensical, an account cannot be its own parent. The "Stock" account placeholder should be the parent of AMZN and all the accounts representing individual stocks. Just click on the Stock account and it will be highlighted. Your account tree indicates that Stock actually is or was the parent before you edited the account.
