identify shares

    0.04 sec.
identify shares
To distinguish which shares among those that are owned are to be sold. An investor may buy shares of a company or mutual fund at many different prices over a period of years. If a portion of those shares are to be sold, the investor may identify shares so as to control the profits or losses that are realized. In addition, an investor who identifies shares having the highest cost basis often can minimize the taxes associated with such a sale.
