Bill- great stuff and thanks for posting. So I have a question as a layperson. As I said before, I have a CPA and another (EA) accountant who do my taxes and books so I won't personally make mistakes (and they are pretty good and don't make many). But if I buy a near set of 520 T206s, and ascribe my cost basis of $50 for each one, and add or subtract the sale price of each one, why wouldn't that work?
