Use the same stock. I may be wrong about V8.0, but I believe that when you
delete a stock, you only delete it from the Investment list. So you can still
use it.

After reading this paragraph, I would guess that you are inputting your
purchases incorrectly. You purchase stocks within an account. There is no
need to set up a stock more than once, no matter how many times you purchase
it, or in how many accounts you purchase it.
Reread HELP for the process.
If that doesn't clear things up, post back with the exact steps you are taking
to try to "input another purchase".
