Did the real life transactions not go through a cash/bank account at all 
or are trying to save yourself some work?

I've a niggling feeling doing the transactions this way is going to make 
the Portfolio reports or lots or something else break, i.e. saving 
yourself the "into cash, out of cash" step now might cause bigger 
problems later that may involve undoing them anyway.

I wondering now if the bug is that you can do this at all rather than 
that it isn't prompting for the quantity on the second leg or similar.
