Asset Allocation Graph Doesn't Make Sense to Me

Today I looked at an asset allocation graph for which I selected a single account: The Vanguard Total Stock Market Index Fund.

The resulting pie chart doesn't make any sense to me. This fund is not 61% cash. It is almost entirely stocks.

And BTW, what does "Mutual" refer to, "Mutual Funds?"

Thanks,

Al

    Could you send me a screen shot of the the "portfolio view" of the "The Vanguard Total Stock Market Index Fund."?

    Ah, that solved it for me. Because of some kind of error due to the importing of data from Quicken, that account has a large cash balance. In reality, the cash balance is zero. I have another question posted elsewhere concerning the problem of incorrect cash balance amounts.

    Thanks,
