Please log in for more thread options Thanks, Han. The AT&T accounts are stock accounts going back to the
early 90's. I agreed to let them combine the two accounts at the
beginning of the year and I don't know if I can download them from
their site, but I don't think so. I would like to have the
gains/losses preserved for future use. Thank you.
