ISTR there are "issues" with this...  Keep in mind, when entering data in
the stock account, you need to enter TWO of the three values (#shares,
price, and value), and GnuCash will compute the third.  Note that it's the
#shares and total value that is stored, the price is always computed.  In
THIS particular case, you can TRY to enter 0 shares and the change in
value, but I'm not 100% sure GnuCash will like that.  It's been a while
since I played in the stock accounts.
