I have been using Quicken for umteen years. I am holding the original
stock certificates but the reinvested dividends are held by the
agent. Those shares I can sell through the agent. However, I need a
discount broker to sell the original stock(s).

I am wondering what strategies people have used to find the cost basis
of the original stock purchases?

Thank you.

Receipts. What did the stocks cost you back when you got them.

If poverty causes crime, maybe we should be doing more to make
people rich as a means of crime prevention?
