My QIF file (from Quicken) has positive amounts for both buys and sells. But, there is a case where a sell can have a negative number in the QIF file. If the commission is greater than the price*shares, i.e. the stock was almostworthless when sold and the sale did not cover the commission, the total amount in the QIF file is negative. This is not a common occurrence. But I didn't notice that case until now and my last patch does not handle it properly. I don't think there is an equivalent case on the buy transaction where thetotal amount could be negative. I need to look at the fix again. Jeff.
