> Go to Prices, verify you have an actual price entered.

Yes, you are right. I can enter a price explicitly, 
additionally, in the price tool.
But what I want to say is: I already entered that price.

I entered an investment transaction:
Activity: Buy shares
Security: test
Shares: 200
Price/share: 50
Total: 10000

And normally I would expect that price of 50 to be used in reports
as the value of that stock until I enter a (new) price. Instead, 
the Investment Performance by Account report shows:

Account  Starting Balance  Buys         ... Return On Investment   Amount
test            0.00       10,000.00            -98.00%            200.00

Imagine the shock a casual user gets when he sees 
that he lost almost everything,
only to find out after a lot of research 
that he had to enter the same price twice at different places, 
once in the transaction and once in the price tool.
Ok, he can do that, but computing is all about doing things automatically.
So my question is: why not take the purchase price/share 
automatically into the stored prices list?
