[GNC] how to total up all "stock transactions" in a year

[Stephen M. Butler]

I presume you have an asset account that holds all these transactions -- 
most likely a parent account.  If so, I would add the "Total (Period)" 
column on the accounts tab.  That way you have nothing further to do and 
have the number available at all times for instant inspection.

The other option is to do a transaction report to pick the relevant 
accounts (and their children) for the current (or specified) year and 
maybe just ask for the grand total.
