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.
