I guess the problem stems from the fact that although I had set the stock to get online quotes through AlphaVantage, the stock didn't update.  So, as John Ralls stated, the stock is not visible in Price Editor without a price. So, following the his instructions, I went to Price Editor,

Les, You can’t see it in price editor because it doesn’t have any prices yet. If you marked it for retrieval and Alphavantage is feeling cooperative, “Get Prices” from the Price Database dialog will pull in a price; otherwise you can click “Add Price”, the top button on the Price Database
