[GNC] Error in Advanced Portfolio

[Fred Tydeman]

I tracked the problem to a return of capital that I had entered the day
after I sold all the shares of a stock.
By moving the return of capital to the day before the sale, the error went
away.
I never had a negative share balance.  The return of capital has money, but
no shares.
So, I found the error message misleading.
