[GNC] order of transactions for mutual funds

[Christian Pinedo Zamalloa]

As you suggest, I am following the method 1 because I didn't know another
solution. I didn't realise of the second approach but I consider the first
option is more easy to implement.

When I sell shares, I must select manually transactions to track capital
gain/losses because the order of the transactions is not the FIFO order I
must follow.

Thanks!
