While there is such a thing as a "negative stock dividend", it is a term
for when a company pays a dividend even though they they lost money -- that
is, their net income was negative. This makes the dividend yield negative,

I am currently running GnuCash on my M1 Mac on the Intel version (using

Perhaps I'm being overly dense here...
Cash, Bank Accounts, etc are sub-elements of Assets.
So certainly, GnuCash treats assets the same - an asset is an asset.
But once you divide assets up - in any way - you are treating them as
different things... therefore,

One exception might be investments, particularly if you need to track the
"buy" and "sell" price for tax purposes.
Thus when I switched from Quicken to GnuCash, I started with opening
balances, but on some of my investments, I went back and put in previous
transactions. All one has to do in that

Interesting - in the US, if we have a mortgage on our house, most people

Most likely, you have installed the flatpack version, and the command is
just off. I have GnuCash 5.8 on Ubuntu 22.04LTS and it is flatback (if I

Just another thought on this: when I transitioned from Quicken to GnuCash,
