Bruno, Don't do anything drastic yet, but everything is pretty independent. You could change the name on the old INTC and create a new INTC security and GnuCash will happily use your INTC prices for pricing the new security. They're linked by the security name and namespace, not by GUID. Unfortunately GnuCash won't let you reassign the account but you can create a new one and transfer the balance with a transaction.
