How to remove negative securities balance but not change Cash balance in 401K? I am unable to see where negative securities balance is coming from specifically. This is a managed account with MANY Ins/Outs of fund transactions over the years.

If you want to determine where the negative balance is coming from, I suggest the first step should be to determine when the security balance went negative by adjusting the As of: date in a Holdings view.  

Note:  To remove negative securities balance but not change Cash balance, you may add a placeholder transaction: open the account, select Enter transactions and Adjust Share Balance in the Enter transaction: pull-down menu.

OK I never got to figure out why this occurred. Above zeroed me in on one specific day, but nothing there added up or got me to the -ve amount. Did Adjust Share Balance to remedy it. Resolved but still puzzled :)
