I've been entering data for this account manually for several years and only
tried online downloads this past weekend. For the security in question
which is repriced monthly, I originally entered it as though the number of
shares remained fixed and the price changed. The brokerage firm lists it as
the price fixed at $1 and resets the number of shares. When I update online
of course the price downloads as $1 and the number of shares varies.
Since the security is only repriced once a month, I'd rather continue
manually enter the data.
