Oh, OK.
When you are creating a new investment, the first page in the wizard 
wants to know the investment type - ie. Bond, Stock, etc.

Here, if the original and the new investment are not of the same type, 
then you cannot use the same symbol so that pop-up doesn't ask you if 
you want to use the same stock.

If yours are both say stocks, then that is a problem.
