4/12    If my broker charged me $50 commission for buying 1000 shares of a
        stock, and then I sold 500 shares later and keep the other 500 shares,
        can I apply all of the $50 buying commission as cost to the 500 shares
        I sold on my tax return?  Thx.
        \_ probably, if you don't use it later when you sell the other 500
           shares.  -tom
        \_ Every example I've seen says no, that you calculate the gain on a
           per-share basis (including commission, averaged over the number of
           shares). -emarkp
