Hi, I have a transaction in a brokerage account that is fine, but when I update my accounts, it shows a completely different value. The value of the transaction in the Holdings screen is shown in the Before picture. After I do an online update, the value goes crazy as shown in the After picture. I can reproduce this by opeing my backup file and updating my accounts. I've tried deleting the transaction and recreating it, but same result. Any ideas?

    I just realized a difference between the Before and After picture. The Before picture correctly shows the top level Quote/Price as $1, but the After picture shows $10.37. What could cause that?

    Why do you have that fund, Fidelity GNMA (FGMNX)?, with $1/share price. That is not its retail pricing which closed 12/10/25 at $10.37/share.

    If you have the ticker FGMNX assigned to your Quicken security and choose to download prices, you are going to get the $10.37 price.

    Generally those types of bond funds tend to trade right around $10/share. You are misunderstanding something, or I am.

    Something is very strange. I thought this was the Fidelity Government Money Market Fund. Whenever I received interest income or I wanted to move cash to an interest bearing fund, it would go into this fund and the price has been $1. But now I realize it is actually in SPAXX which is named Fidelity Government Money Market. Quicken seems to be downloading those transactions and mapping them to FGMNX instead of SPAXX. I have not any money in FGMNX It appears to have started recently. I changed them all to FIDELITY CASH and it balances ok now. It seems to be find after an update as well.

    Thanks for pointing out the obvious to me! It was my misunderstanding.
