Shares in and shares out
Shares in opens a lot, for a gift or a transfer from another file. Enter the shares and the cost basis. Shares out closes shares the same way a sell does, including lot allocation when the method is specific lot.
Steps
- Open Portfolio and choose the account.
- Set Action to Shares in or Shares out.
- Enter shares and, for shares in, the cost.
- Choose Record action.
If this goes wrong
If the lot cost is wrong, undo and record the shares in again with the basis you still have.
