SUMMARY
=======
 
Microsoft Money uses the First In First Out (FIFO) method of buying and
selling stocks. Money does not support selling stock in "lots". A lot
is a set or block of stock that was purchased on a certain date.
Selling stock in "lots" is when you select different lots of stock to
sell in order to minimize your Capital Gains tax.
 
The FIFO method of buying and selling stock is by design.
