Shares. However, the limitations stated above shall not preclude the settlement of any transaction entered into through the facilities of the New York Stock Exchange.

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 time periods specified by state law, your property could become subject to state unclaimed
