How do you get online quotes for ETF's such as iShare's ITOT, ISTB, AGG, IEFA ? they are listed sometimes as NYSEARCA:ITOT, but when I enter this in the Security Editor under NYSE or enter just ITOT, for example, I get the message about continue with good quotes with these listed as the bad quotes. -- Kendall B.

The most important thing is to annotate the transaction description field to indicate that a reimbursement of the expenses incurred by the director has been offset against the loan to the director.
