-\section stock splits & cost basis
-
-OK, here's a question for accountants of various different countries:
-What's the cost basis for a stock split? Does the rest of the world do
-it the way the US does it?
-
-For example:
-In Jan 1995 buy 100s stock for $10 per share
-In July 1997 split 2-for-1
-In August 1997, sell 120s stock for $30 per share
-
-I believe the following is correct for the united states:
-My cost basis is $5 per share, and my gains of $25x120 are taxable
-as long-term cap gains.
-
---- would there ever be a case where the cost basis should be $10 for
-    the first 100 shares, and $0 for the remainder?
---- would there ever be a case where the gains would be considered
-    'short-term' for some portion of the total?
-
-\subsection Spin off stocks.
-
-OK, that was easy. Here's the harder one: a spin-off:
-
-For example:
-In Jan 1995 buy 100s of stock A for $10 per share
-In July 1997 receive 1s of stock B for every 20s of stock A.
-Stock B is new, and will trade under its own new ticker symbol
-as of the date of this split.
-
--- What's my cost basis for B? is it $0.000 ?
--- What's my cost basis for A? is it $10, or something else?
--- Are these questions supposed to be answered by company A,
-   or do I just 'guess'?
-
-Note there is still an invarient:
-(old price of A) * 20s == (new price of A) *20s + (price of B) * 1s

-> 'Cash' and debit 'Savings Goals:Honeymoon'.
-\endvarbatim
-
-The problem with proceeding to credit Cash and debit "Savings Goal" is
-that this invalidates any reconciliation of Cash.  I'd be game to do
-this if I credited not Cash, but rather "Cash:Goals", a subaccount of
-Cash that can be ignored when it needs to be,
-
-For different purposes, I will want both to consider and ignore these
-"funds reservations."
-
-- When making up a <b>budget</b>, I care about what funds are reserved for
-   particular purposes.
-
-- When trying to figure out if my bank account is going to be
-overdrawn, "reserved" funds are <b>irrelevant.</b>
-
-I would thus suggest that the "gentle user" use the budget system to
-manage this rather than having these be "true" transactions in the
-ledger.
