Jimmy,  Are you using the Price Database editor?  That doesn't even know
whether you own shares.

Hi Jimmy,

There were several bugs in the Price Database that have been fixed.
Eg https://bugs.gnucash.org/show_bug.cgi?id=797046 fixed in late 3.4 maint
builds.
Unfortunately Ubuntu 18.04 only has Gnucash 2.6.21,
19.10 (unstable) has 3.7 and 20.04 will have 3.8b.
3.7 should have all the fixes you need.

I suggest upgrading to Ubuntu 19.10 or wait for  20.04, or try flatpack, or
compile from source...

See https://code.gnucash.org/builds/flatpak/maint/

Regards, Chris Good
