Buy Quicken. It will do everything you want. You can get it for less than
$50 on eBay.

I anticipated that response. I, too, thought about Quicken; and I
have not ruled it out. At the very least, I might look at how Quicken
organizes the information to see if its adaptable to Excel. In
general, I am not impressed with Quicken; but I'm malleable.
At any rate, this is m.p.EXCEL.misc. So I'm interested in an Excel
answer. I am sure that many people use Excel to track their
investment trades. I would like to hear from them.
I should note that my question is not so much an Excel question -- I'm
sure I can do all the necessary computation.
I simply cannot get my head around the design problem: how to lay out
the information so that it is (a) easy to maintain, and (b) easy to
match sells and buys primarily for the purpose of distinguish short-
term and long-term gains/losses (US).
I cannot imagine how I would do this manually, much less in Excel.

Never mind! I think I've got a workable solution.
