Hi, Stubby.
How can WHAT be?
What part of the information troubles you? That you invested $103,500 and it's now worth only $3,956.66? Or that the Amount Invested does not agree with the Cost Basis?
I can think of several answers for several possible questions, but I'd like to see a better question before I start typing.

The security in question is Vanguard GNMA so it's price doesn't fluctuate wildly. The cost basis ($4168) and Market Value ($3956) are roughly consistent. But where is the Amount Invested ($103,000) coming from?
I'm getting a few more bits of info. This seems to have to do with Vanguard converting my GNMA shares into GNMA Admiral shares. I might not have done this correctly in Quicken. It's further complicated because two accounts (IRA and Trust) are involved. Something is wrong, but I'm not sure what!
The amount invested would include any expenses incurred against that security (e.g. MiscExp).
