[GNC] Moving Securities from one Security Account to another

[R Losey]

I would merely "sell" them in the savings plan and then "buy" them in the
regular account.

If you want your gain/loss to be correct, it may be more work... you would
have to "sell" each at the price it was added, and then buy it in the
regular account at that price... I assume this is what the bank did when
they "merged" the two accounts. If need this level of information, you
should have all of this recorded... it may be tedious, but it is certainly
doable.

However, if you don't need that information, you can just sell the
savings security at current price and buy them at the current price.
