  January 1, 2011. If your shares were covered by the legislation and you have
  sold or transferred the shares and requested a specific cost basis
  calculation method, we have processed as requested. If you did not specify a
  cost basis calculation method, we have defaulted to the first in, first out

  need additional information about cost basis. If you do not keep in contact
  with us or do not have any activity in your account for the time periods
  specified by state law, your property could become subject to state unclaimed
