So Equities are equities/securities in the selected account and
Securities are equities/securities in all accounts? Clear as mud:-)
Fun, isn't it?
I found 35 to 40 blank securities in the securities tab and was able
to delete all of them. Not sure where they came from. No useful info
in any of the ones I checked.
I've seen similar "bogus" equity accounts created on OFX imports if the
stock name KMM uses from the import isn't actually the same as the
already existing one. Because the displayed name is often the same, it
is not at all obvious when this happens. I've actually got a Perl
script which searches for all equities matching a provided regexp, all
the equity accounts for them, and then the Investment accounts holding
them. I do not understand how such accounts end up closed.
My biggest problem with investments is CDs. They are not Stocks,
Bonds or Mutual Funds but those are the only options. CDs appear to
be treated as stocks. With my broker, they import with a price per
share of $100 which greatly enhances my net worth until I change it
to $1. CD sales completely skip the investment account but show up in
the brokerage account. I have to manually copy the buy transaction,
change the date and make it a sell transaction in the investment
account and then match it to the imported transaction in the
brokerage account. Messy but I have not spent the time to setup an
example to submit a useful bug report. I figure I'll wait until the
master is closer to release and test it there. I can easily compile
from source but the master fails on a dependency (LibAlkimia5, Fedora
38 has 8.0.3, KMM requires 8.1). I haven't tried to update
LibAlkimia5. Waiting for fewer issues in the Master branch.
I suppose the only reason I haven't dealt with this is that I don't
have any CDs. I'm curious why they would import with a price of $100.
Are the CDs all for $100 or in increments of $100? It is quite
possible that the broker is not actually producing proper OFX
transactions, but it is also possible that libofx and/or KMM are not
doing the right thing. I haven't needed to do it in a while, but
building libalkimia is pretty easy, if you are already building
KMyMoney.
