Oh and are the stocks priced separately after each new transaction, or does a new price apply itself to all previous transactions? (ex. if i bought 1 MLSU stock at 10US, then later another at 12USD would the total be 22USD or 24USD)

This is the last reply for a message that doesn't copy the list.

Like I said, make sure that you have current, correct prices in the price database. You can adjust them with the price editor,
Tools>Price Editor.
