One of my holdings has been taken over by another listed company. I received number of shares in the new company for all shares in the old one (0.8 new shares per old share). I used SymbolTransferOut for the old company which reduced my holdings to zero and reduced cost base by the value of my investment. I then applied this amount to SymbolTransferIn transaction for the new company, basically transferring capital from one company to another.
Please have a look at the attached screenshot - not sure why PS is showing capital loss for the old company, With transfer of capital I would expect a zero?
