RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:Increased my share count by 1.07% I get it hockey guy. It's not just you. What does it matter what your average cost is? Or his? Or mine? Sounds like he's trying to bait you. From my time in the mutual fund world I learned my "average cost" becomes a meaningless , irrelevant, historical data point. In that world, you're marked to market every frickin day. It's as if your "cost" is whatever it closed at yesterday. It makes even less sense for me to care what cost anyone else has. We also all learned the hard way, a long time ago, that worrying about paying capital gains tax is a mugs game. Oh the multimillionaires I knew who had ntl stock and options but "couldn't" sell because of all the taxes they'd have to pay. So, yeah, forget average cost, forget capital gains tax. Focus on the price today, and what target you have for 3;6;12 months.
full disclosure, I haven't owned gear for about a year. Nothing negative to say about it. Just can't own them all.
