Has the account been accidentally hidden?

Select "Tools - Security List" and click on the NAME you gave the 
security which should open the "Security Detail View" and show the 
transaction history.

When I enter the register for an investment with NO entries in it Q 
(R59.18, 27.1.59.18) always starts up the Enter Transaction GUI. If 
there is at least one entry, even a zero balance one, the transaction 
GUI does not show.
