[quote=Anonymous]Yes. The only reason not to would be that there are different ways of calculating costs basis if you buy multiple lots of the same mutual fund on different days (say you own 100 shares and 75 were bought at $10 and 15 were bought at $12)-- this also happens when you reinvest dividends from a mutual fund (which buy shares at the new price). The easiest way to deal with this situation is to let the mutual fund company calculate "average cost basis" for all your shares, but some people like to track the cost basis for each individual share, so they can sell the ones with the highest cost basis first.
