Zero Quantity Equity Problem

On many option trades I have had to intervene with hand repairs to the
Quicken results. Now I have a problem with an equity. I have made several
long and short trades on Frontline Ltd on my Scottrade account. At present
I have no open trades and no shares of Frontline. Yet Quicken shows
Frontline in the summary with 0 shares!! I can't seem to get rid of it.
BTW I'm using 2007 home and business. I download transactions to all
accounts almost daily.

Thanks for any help.

Well, it either is really zero or not. If so, you can elect to hide the
security. If not really zero (Quicken does - and keeps - calculations in far
greater precision than shown,so ther may be 0.00001 or some such amount) you
might want to do an Adjust Share Balance transaction or a Sell transaction
making sure you check off the box "Sell all shares in this account" (having
specified the desired security, of course).
