Let's ponder for a bit... what do you mean by the "correct numbers"? The amount that was actually spent is absolutely a "correct" number, and the number of shares added is also a "correct number"... so the one that has to change is the price per share. Some dividend-paying stocks are set to reinvest, and I own so few that the number of shares added is tiny, and is rounded by the brokerage company to 1/1000 -- so the price (as computed) is off because of the small numbers involved. It DOES make the price history look weird, but I've learned to not get too worked up about it. The numbers you MUST have are the correct number of shares and the total amount of the transaction. -- _________________________________ Richard Losey rlo...@gmail.com Micah 6:8 _______________________________________________ gnucash-user mailing list gnucash-user@gnucash.org To update your subscription preferences or to unsubscribe: https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-user ----- Please remember to CC this list on all your replies.
