In the US, for mutual funds, there are three methods permitted. You
can select the method you want to use in the investment Details for
each fund. Default in Money is Average double category (averaging
long and short term separately). The IRS lets you choose, but you
have to stick with averaging once you start. See
http://www.irs.gov/faqs/faq-kw123.html

For stocks in the US you always use specific identification. The
first-acquired (FIFO) shares is the default.
