In the Investments View, the Securities tab lists all  
stock/bonds/mutual funds/... (Ennnnnn) that KMM knows about.  The  
Equities tab shows all of those securities which are present in the  
selected Investment account.  These are internally subaccounts of the  
Investment account.  Yes, the terminology is confusing.
