Hey guys, maybe this is a basic question, but I don’t really understand where this number is coming from. A couple weeks ago I bought two shares of a stock (started with 0 shares) at $148.50. I see the confirmation showing the order processed at $148.50 per share. When I check my cost per share on the stock, it is showing as $162.255. I trade through TD Ameritrade which shouldn’t charge me a commission for this trade. I have plenty of cash in my account, so it’s not like trading on margin would’ve somehow caused my cost per share to be increased. Anyone know why this would be or what I’m missing?
