Did you try sorting the Portfolio by both Name and Symbol? The
investments that you no longer hold should be gray.
What makes you think it was ever in the Money file? Maybe you had

If you can find the original Buy or AddShares of Avaya, you can
right-click and go to the investment. Then InvestmentTransactions
will show you all of the transactions for Avaya.
