Advanced portfolio doing weird things after upgrade to 2.0.5

[Bob Thibodeau]

Check the report properties for the source of the prices.
On the basic portfolio, you can choose from three options,
which generate different numbers. I don't have it on this computer,
or I'd list them for you. Something like weighted average, nearest
in time, and another.
