Placeholder is the only way I've found to set up an account
that has subaccounts for individual stocks and/or mutual funds.
I set up nested0 asset accounts with placeholder and create one 
subaccount for each stock or mutual fund.

    - Assets
       |- Stocks (asset placeholder account)
           |- Red Hat (stock account)
	   |- Microsoft (stock account)
	   |- IBM (stock account)
       |- Funds (asset placeholder account)
           |- Vanguard (placeholder account)
	       |- Mid Cap Index (fund account)
	   |- Janus (asset placeholder account)
	       |- Janus (fund account)
	       |- Balanced (fund account)
