[GNC] Rounding issues with Stock

[Derek Atkins]

The answer is "no".  And your Broker is lying to you.  There is no such
thing as $0.0036 so there is no "value" there.

You should record the 4.000 shares and total value of $105.95

Ignore the "price" difference.  It doesn't matter in the long run.  Even
if you are worried about the price basis, you're talking a difference of 4
x $0.0009 = $.0036.  The IRS will round to the nearest whole dollar, so,
in other words, this amount is irrelevant.
