Overview
GM (General Motors) is one
of the most widely owned stocks.
Since 1956, there have been
numerous splits. Also, there have been more complicated stock transactions.
GM spun off GM class H
stock.
GM spun off GM class E stock, which later became EDS (Electronic Data
Systems).
GM and GM class H exchanged stock
for Raytheon (originally Raytheon class A stock).
GM class H stock becomes Hughes Electronics Corporation. A portion of Hughes
is exchanged for News Corporation shares.
Hughes
Electronics Corporation changes its name to the DirecTV group (not DirectTV).
GM splits off Delphi Automotive Systems Corporation, which is now in
bankruptcy.
If you have not sold
out of any of those stocks, you now own GM, EDS (which will or has been sold
to HP), Raytheon, News Corp Class A and DirecTV.
To get from
1970
to now there were 19 cost basis adjustments for splits, spin-offs, split-offs and
mergers. This is what the
GM Basis Calculator does for you.
In addition to
all the changes to GM that were beyond your
control, you might have bought and sold shares in some of the GM
"family" of securities! That can complicate things more. The
GM Basis Calculator also takes those transactions into considerations.
The
GM Basis Calculator presents in a summary how many shares you own and
at what cost for the GM, EDS (which will or has been sold to HP), Raytheon,
News Corp Class A and DirecTV.
If you want to
know how the tax basis, number of shares and cost per share on that summary
were arrived at, a detailed report will trace each security, transaction by
transaction.
