Default Re: Stock commission is greater than proceeds of stock sale.

I enetered the commission as a separate transaction
against the stock (as an "expense of sale") for a similar
transaction. Everything worked out ok ...

Seriously, many brokers will reduce the commission so that you get
$0.01 after commissions, if you ask.

However Money can't handle the negative commission. Work around it
by adding the commission to the basis manually and entering a 0
commission. Same tax, tho it is not what the instructions call for.

I would try that first suggestion.

I recently sold 2000 shares of stock for $0.0001 per share. Gross proceeds
were $0.20. Commissions for the sale were $29.95. Net proceeds were
-$29.75. I tried to enter this into Money 2004 and it will not allow
negative proceeds of a stock sale. How should I record this sale?
