I don't know about all this. So much to keep track of lol
What price didmshe ay ,, did she buy pre split or post split ..
Its not really a lot to keep up with unless you own a ton positions in companies and investments or have multiple brokerage account lol .
Finding something to invest in and doing DD is then most difficult part depending on the depth of your DD into the positions .
Most everything is calculated thru the brokers all the way thru tax time ,which is a simple download if you do your own taxes . You can check everything involved with your accounts on the platforms . If a question arises a phone call or secure email through the broker will get anything answered .. The main thing is being sure you know how to make a trade on the trade ticket properly . Theres only a few things on a trade ticket you need to set .
Limit orders , market orders , regular hours , after hours/Pre Market settings.. once you get the trading learned it becomes almost second nature ( goofs can happen and some can be fix before the trade is settled ). .,other than that its just a matter of watching or periodically checking depending on your investment plan . I set a few alerts based on my plan and thats about all . Once the day appears to show its pattern then I just do whatever else I want or can do and check a few times throughout the day incase the market changes .
The only ones I watch closer are the flips and day trades and some short term non div positions when the price is in my range to sell .. I may set a 15% gain on those types to sell in my head . 15% is not a shabby gain at all ..

Yea I don't quite get her method but she says she only sells if she needs to make a purchase because the taxes kill her. She's had her positions for a very long time - which is a good reason to take profit imo -

I sold 3 that i had added post at more than i paid then bought them back as it went down what i didn't realize is how cost basis works. I used lifo i think i got that right but my cost basis went up after the sale and before i bought back when i thought it would go back to my original lot price. I looked at the cost breakdown and see they average allllll purchased shares no matter if you sold any and that stays there. At least that's how mine is lol. I'm still in the gain but the elevator ride did get to my stomach

It's the triple witching. That witch and her two sisters suck hahahaha
Default with brokers is set on FIFO .. no need to change the tax strategy setting if you only bought and have 1 tax lot ..
If you buy multiple lots at different prices then you should decide with shares to sell ( you do not have to sell all in a lot ) .. I prefer the specific lot sell setting as it shows all the lots shares and prices to choose from . Just don't sell any shares in the red and buy more without waiting the proper time frame rule or a wash sale occurs and you loose the tax loss and the difference will be tacked onto another lot raising the cost basis on that lot.. Simple just dont ever sell any shares in the red in the red lol !
