Is there someplace I can set it?  Right now, it wants a Security Type
such as FUND or NYSE - but then I have no place to default a price.
Also, I can't include these on the default Assets &
Liabilities:Investment Portfolio Report - just get "An error occurred".

So what I would like to see in my Accounts page is the price - I've
tried some additional fields, like the Total(USD) works great for mutual
funds and regular stocks that do have stock symbols.
