22
Q

What is an unrealized gain?

A

When an investor holds a security that has increased in value, yet has not sold it. It is unrealized how much money you can get…or turn around to reinvest.

So…you don’t own the “extra” gain, until you actually have it.

23
Q

What is cost basis?

A

it’s your capital or money you put in.

24
Q

So if you bought ABC 90 shares at $100; and paid $100 commission, you paid $9,100. 6 months later you sell them for $96/share. What is your cost basis? and is it short/long term capital gain or loss?

A

You paid in $90…so that’s your cost basis.
You earned $6; so that’s your short-term capital gain.
The $100 is a “side” note– as an “expense”…so you have to reduce your capital gain by $100.

Final answer:
Cost Basis: $90
Cap Gain: (Short-term): $500
