Wm —

Thank you for your suggestion. I indeed did that.  Deleted the stock 
transaction and started again with the stock assistant.  The advanced portfolio 
report is now making sense.  The unrealized gains are now correct.  However, t 
balance sheet is still combining the capital gain (realized gain) with the 
unrealized gains seen on the advanced portfolio report.  Maybe there is some 
accounting principle that I don’t understand.  I would expect that the 
unrealized gains in the balance sheet would mirror the same in the advanced 
portfolio report. The capital gain is indeed properly reported as income in the 
income (profit and lose) statement.  

Still confused. 

Thank you

— Robert
