I agree, stocks it handles pretty well.
But option sales have to be specially handled, and the reports can be
misleading. For example, the sale of a call looks like a short sale of stock,
so you have to cover the call sale at a price of zero to get rid of the negative
balance. It's a bit clunky on options.
