    All very interesting but could someone tell me how to keep track of capital gains to pay the govt'. I sometimes feel that day trading doesn't pay off after you factor in the money you pay out to the government and the trading fees. Please educate me. I bought Apple stock about 10 years ago and was looking to dump some of them but have been told that I need to find the paperwork from the original transaction and if I try and sell 30k I will owe somewhere around 10k and that doesn't include trading fees ... sorry if i'm rambling just got home from the pub.

    • Your original broker should have the records and will mail them to you. Nowadays it is all online and simple.formed
