* Shares, change to shares, sold shares, shares held after: split-adjusted.
* Reported price: this doesn't represent the actual buy or sell price. It is the split-adjusted price of the security as of the last day of the reported period.
If the security is completely sold out, we show the reported split-adjusted price prior to the actual period.
* Estimated cost basis: based on "Reported price*" (not earlier than 2013 Q2). Calculation starts from the latest "new buy" activity to the latest "close out" activity (if any).
* Value or Price: If the security is completely sold out, we show the reported value (or price) prior to the actual period.
* New buy or own: this means there is no earlier reporting (for us or in general). So we can't know if the actual purchase of the security happened at the reported period or earlier.
