With a bit more playing around, I think I understand what beancount is 
doing but I'm still not clear on how to achieve what I want. Using the same 
sample beanfile as in my original post, if I just do SELECT currency, 
number, cost(position), value(position) then beancount tells me

curre num cost_posit value_posi 
----- --- ---------- ---------- 
VWIUX 1 14.09 USD 14.11 USD 
USD -14 -14.09 USD -14.09 USD 
VWIUX 1 14.23 USD 14.11 USD 
USD -14 -14.23 USD -14.23 USD 
VWIUX 1 14.32 USD 14.11 USD 
USD -14 -14.32 USD -14.32 USD 
VWIUX -1 -14.09 USD -14.11 USD 
VWIUX -1 -14.23 USD -14.11 USD 
VWIUX -1 -14.32 USD -14.11 USD 
USD 42 42.64 USD 42.64 USD

So I guess the key/problem is that the "number" isn't being treated the way 
I expected. Taking the $14.09 lot as an example, I expected it to have a 
single entry with a number of 0. But it actually has 2 entries, one with a 
number of +1 and one with a number of -1.

Now that I see what's happening, I guess I understand why. bean-query is 
showing me postings, not lots. I guess I need to build up an inventory on 
my own? But I'm not sure that bean-query is flexible enough to let me do 
what I want here and only look at lots that still exist and are under 
water. So I'm back to being stumped about how to proceed. Do I just need to 
drop into python to get what I want?

Cheers,
Justus
