  acquired after 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 (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
