Just a question here...  Why is the cost basis not simply calculated in a 
report instead of adding a bunch of cruft to transactions?   You loop 
through the transactions and recalculate the cost basis with every purchase 
(not sale).   I don't see this a part of the transaction, any more than the 
balance sheet or other reports...   Just a .02.
