I see. I'm trying to figure out how this might affect me. I do care about cost basis for taxes, of course, so if I enter a sale of individual lots, the realized gains might be off depending on which lots are sold. If I sell all lots, then the gains should be correct, I think.
I'll see what I find in this list about what you mentioned. Thanks.
