When a mutual fund is sold off from Merrill Lynch, <MFINFO> for that 
fund get a <TICKER> equal to the <UNIQUEID>. KMM then creates a new 
security for MY MUTUAL FUND FD CL C FD CL C...  with a negative number 
of shares.

If you download a prior month after the sale, the prior month will also 
have the wrong <TICKER>. I sold a fund in January and then downloaded 
the December data with the wrong <TICKER>.

It can be corrected in the main account back to the proper security AND 
by setting the Price/share to the original total plus the Fee Amount.  
Then you can delete the new security.  In my case, it used the Total as 
the price/share and computed a very large total.

The new security will have the "Price entry" set to "(default)", which 
ignores the setting for the account. (See
