Stock in Portfolio changes symbol

I own shares in the old Washington Post Co. (WPO) which is now Graham Holdings Co. (GHC) after the sale of the paper to Jeff Bezos. How can I switch to the new trading symbol without losing all my history?

Hi Heber,

Just right mouse click on the investment, and select "Properties..." and you can change the name and symbol. If you have a different number of shares due to this action, you can record a split transaction with a ratio of <New shares> for <Old shares>.

Thanks, Mark. Why didn't I think of that? It's good to have your blessing.
