[GNC] Combining Method in Chapter 11 and Standalone Security

[David T.]

The concept of capital gains is the same, whether you're talking about a painting or a stock. The difference between your purchase and your sale price is the gain or loss. The only trick to consider for stocks is that different lots of stock purchases can have different cost bases, which obviously affects gain calculations. What are your specific issues?

When I reads methods in the 11th chapter,I have found that its example is based on non-fungible asset like painting. However, what I am expecting is that records capital gains for fungible securities (stock, bonds, ETF, etc.). How can I apply method in this chapter to these type of assets?
