[GNC] Help Selling & Buying Securities

[Jack Frillman]

I have been trough all that and don't see how any of it applies to what 
I'm trying to do because:
1 - I have no commissions to deal with.
2 - I have no capital gains to deal with.
Very confusing......
It appears I have the sell side correct the the buy may have something 
wrong.
