Good Morning John!

Thank you so much for all of your help on the community forum, I didn't feel comfortable sharing these numbers on the group but don't mind sharing with you. For 30 years I indexed the SP500 and it was very good to me. I never really felt a need to pay attention to my progress in Quicken because it was as simple as following the SP500. I recently made a move to an advisor, time will tell if that was a good move but a different discussion for a different day :). For the past year I've just looked at the Portfolio tab on Quicken and knew it wasn't correct but didn't get around to digging in. This week I found the Performance tab and that gives me numbers that make sense.

Below are two screenshots, note there is a lot of cash right now as I sold some holdings last week and am moving into some more aggressive funds this week. Generally that cash number is closer to $20K. What is the Portfolio screen trying to tell me, those numbers don't make sense to me.
