<span class="note1">
1) CMGI has a two for one split on January 12, 2000, doubling the existing shares from 100 to 200.<br>
2) FIFO methodology requires that the 150 share sell must come from the original lot and the split adjusted shares.<br>
3) Selling securities at a loss on April 14th created a <u>wash sale</u> resulting from the March 17th buy.
As a result, the loss on 100 of the 150 total shares must be deferred.<br><br>
If you had been using GainsKeeper, you wouldn't need to worry about any of these splits or wash sales. With
GainsKeeper, you ALWAYS know your correct positions and gains and losses.
