sure you can do that. I never talked with anyone who has done so though.

If I DID do it I would never just take the ACCOUNT BALANCE to compute the overall short-term gain. What if you earned a dividend? What if you paid margin interest - or earned interest? What if you took out some $$$ for your own use? What if you contributed some cash to cover a purchase? What if you mailed them some certificates held at home?

Do the computations for the transactions, one by one!!
