They don't, and they don't need to. The loss is the difference between purchase price and sale price. There is no "balancing split". Each transaction is balanced on each individual purchase/sale. The lot balances when you sell all the shares out of the lot. The balance of the lot is the sum of the AMOUNTS of the splits in the lot. The gain/loss is the balance of the the VALUES of the splits in the lot. > Ed -derek > Derek Atkins wrote: > > >Ed Warnicke <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes: > > > >[snip] > > > > > >>What would be the right way to account for this? > >> > > > >Using LOTs (which are currently in development) to relate purchases to > >sales. > > > > > >>Ed > >> > > > >-derek > > > > > > > _______________________________________________ > gnucash-devel mailing list > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > http://www.gnucash.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-devel -- Derek Atkins, SB '93 MIT EE, SM '95 MIT Media Laboratory Member, MIT Student Information Processing Board (SIPB) URL: http://web.mit.edu/warlord/ PP-ASEL-IA N1NWH [EMAIL PROTECTED] PGP key available _______________________________________________ gnucash-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.gnucash.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-devel
