Bug 498847

After several years of using this great package I still struggle with the ambiguous use, in documentation and on screen, of the terms Securities,  Equities etc (which are generally held to have the interchangeable meanings in common parlance) but are used specifically in kmymoney to differentiate between a specific offering (such as  Microsoft  Ordinary Shares) and a user's Holding of that offering within a specific account. Indeed the Investment view tabs "Securities" & "Equities"  had me confused for a long time but perhaps that's just me.

Might it be clearer to consistently use:
1) "Securities" when referring to a specific offering i.e VISA Ord Shares, TREASURY 3 1/2% Gilt 22/01/2045, BondAny etc

2) "Holding" when referring the user's holding of that specific investment - for example "100 VISA Ord shares" 

3) "Investment Account" (with their related "Brokerage" Accounts) to mean the financial accounts to which holdings are allocated i.e "Broker1 ISA Account", "Broker1Taxed Account", "Bank1 ISA" ...

A user may then have several "Investment" Accounts each with assorted "Holdings" some of which maybe of the same "Security". 

This would also leave the ambiguous terms Security, Equities, Shares etc to be used interchangeably as all referring to a specific investment offering, as in common parlance.

The Investment View would then seem clearer to me if the "Equities" tab was renamed "Holdings" (or some such) and the label "Select Account" detailed as "Select Investment Account". It would then be logical to select an Investment Account from the drop down box to filter just the "Holdings" within that account (as the tab name would imply).

No doubt others can think of better terms to use than above but I do think that some consistency of use would help make make usage simpler and clearer.

Thanks for a great product.
