Hi

Looks very nice.
Will apply the diff (with pictures) tonight, and see how it looks in the
finished result. (Am in a windows environment for the moment, and can only
view the xml file.)

I think we need some sub chapters for
    * Recording Stock Splits and Mergers
    * Recording Employee Stock Plans (Discussion)
    * Stock Options
    * Reconciling with the Brokerage Statement
    * Currency trading

As well as we should try to clarify/think of the following
    # Verify Capital Gains/Dividens in reports. Details
    # When you create a commodity, you should also directly
      create the extra needed accounts that is needed for
      various reports as well as follow up (like Dividend acocunt)
    # How to Add / Remove shares
    # How to move shares between brokerage accounts.
    # How to do imediate re-invest dividend
    # How to buy shares with NON-Default currency
    # Buying same stock with multiple brokerage accounts

I will try to fix the NON-Default currency tonight and send of a small
patch with it.

With the great responce on the Wiki for concept guide, I guess we will do
it directly in docbook and diff's or? At least until we get an indication
it is worth it to do the manual work from Wiki to DocBook (that is people
actually add to the wiki...)

Perhaps Derek can arrange to have a Development ConceptGuide that is
created from SVN a few times per day? Makes it a lot easier to see and
comment on the real thing so to speak.
