My original supposition was wrong. I had assumed the problem was
associated with a newly acquired investment, and two or three days
would have been enough to be rid of that.

Hmmm. Try setting the view to show closed position. See if one of
the investments shows "big%" then.

If not, I would make a copy of the file, and try deleting the
investments one by one until the problem disappeared. Then recreate
that investment in the actual file.

If that does not do it, you may need to move all of the investments
in that account into a newly created account.

Review your backup policy and keep extra copies of your file in case
you don't like the result of some changes.

Keep at least one copy of your .mbf file on a USB flash drive in
case of disk crash. That is not because of your symptom. Everybody
should do that.

The problem is only with a single investment account. Every individual
investment in the account has its annual return shown, but it will not total
it up for the entire account which in turn mean that it won't show the total
for my entire portfolio. Most of the investments in that account have been
held for a minimum of two months. Any idea on how long the process will take
to correct this?

It will fix itself.

Annualized return for an investment that you have held only a day or
two can be a very large number that is really meaningless. You will
not have that kind of gain day after day, so soon the number will be
less meaningless as a few days go by, and will show as an actual
number.

Under my portfolio, the annualized return shown for all my different accounts
comes up as "big%" instead of an actual number. Any idea how to fix this????
