Jack,
GnuCash has by default, top level accounts for Assets, Liabilities, Income,
Expanses and Liabilities. These are also the names of account types.
All accounts of account type Assets should be somewhere under the top level
Asset account and likewise for accounts of each other account type.

…In my account tabs the "Investment Misc" parent account shows a
negative amount. (-$70 K range) …
Questions:
+ What can I do
I have been using GNC for a few months now for my personal finances and
I'm trying to understand some it's behavior. I'm no accountant and I'm
sure I'm not following strict accounting rules. Again I'm using it only
for my personal finances and overall I am satisfied with what I have set
up.
