Thanks for responding. I figured out what I was doing wrong. The 
hierarchy was an account of type asset, which contained  my cash assets, 
and under that was the stock account. I moved things around by changing 
the parent account, etc such that the top account was an asset account 
representing the brokerage account, and under that I now have an asset 
account for the cash assets and a stock account with my stock assets, 
and now the top brokerage account shows the expected total value.

I just needed to get the hierarchy right. :^)
