That's interesting. Do you have more than one INTC asset account, perhaps with different brokers (and perhaps hidden on your Accounts page either because you marked it hidden or have hide accounts with 0 balances turned on)? When you realized that INTC trades on NASDAQ and not NYSE did you edit the security or make a new one?
How many transactions are in each account?
