tax question

  1. 460 Posts.
    Say I bought 100 shares @ $1.00 a share, in a company, last year in august and 50 @ $5.00 in the same company in January this year and sold 50 shares in May for $6.00 a share, am I taxed on the profit on the initial 100 I bought, on the average price of all the shares or some other way ? TIA

    Cheers
