Re: [GNC] Stock sell/buy

Yes, it's possible to create a fund account in GC just like a bank 
account (without referencing a symbol like a stock account) and specify 
transactions with a commodity account manually.  I guess the 
unbalanced-account issue is probably caused by either

 1. mistyped numbers (since doing the transactions manually)  --
    Solution: Check the numbers
 2. and/or not including the transaction fees/taxes/commissions imposed
    on the trades.  Please take a look into your brokerage statements or
    transaction history to find out the transaction fees associated with
    the fund trades, instead of just looking at the position balances of
    your accounts.  -- Solution: Make the fee as an independent
    transaction or as a split in your sell transaction (please see the
    online GC guide for more details).

Cheers!
