It would be nice if the Security List would add a column showing the number of shares currently owned.
This would make it easy to hide zero-share securities, or even delete them in the case where the archived investment account which contained them has been deleted.

    There is a hidden trap there if short and long positions cancel each other out.  That can occur due to erroneous entries (a Short Sell when a regular sell was intended or similar).  That could lead to hiding something that shouldn't be hidden.  An asterisk might be needed if any security has both a long and short position holding. 

    Beyond that, it seems like a reasonable and helpful tweak.

    You have my vote.
  • Update the Security List to show the current number of shares held in all accounts and the number of transactions that reference that security.
