That is a good point.  Since I get my OFX from the broker handling my
fund, any <BUY*> is going to increase the shares I have while
decreasing the value of the brokerage account.

I don't know if there is a situation where the total should be
positive for the <BUY>, but if GnuCash provided a convenient way to
override it that would really help me (and anyone else who can't fix
the source of the OFX data).
