Right, which is why I did it the other way.  Is my way ugly?  Yup, but 
it works.

I like the commissions expense part, I'll add that.  And, I would *love* 
to have the sell price be the real sell price.  But, how can we document 
something that doesn't work?  Are there any other possibilities?

This problem was another reason I mentioned earlier that maybe we should 
be recommending people simply not use the stock account type, instead us 
a regular asset account to track stocks.  Like how we do Fixed Assets now.
