  first in, first out (FIFO) method. Please visit our website or consult your
  tax advisor if you 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 property laws and transferred to the appropriate state.
