Broker Comment: THE CLIENTS, AN EXPERIENCED BUSINESS CONSULTANT AND HIS WIFE, KNEW THEY HAD UNREALIZED GAINS IN THEIR PORTFOLIO AND DELAYED THE LIQUIDATION FOR SEVERAL MONTHS. ONCE THEY DECIDED TO MOVE THEIR MONEY TO A THIRD PARTY DISCRETIONARY MONEY MANAGER, THEY WERE PROVIDED WITH ALL THE PAPERWORK, INCLUDING A PROPOSAL FROM THE THIRD PARTY MANAGER, AND SIGNED TRANSFER DOCUMENTS AUTHORIZING THE LIQUIDATION. THE ACCOUNT STATEMENTS FOR THE ACCOUNT SHOWED THE COST BASIS FOR THE POSITIONS THAT WERE SOLD AND CLEARLY SHOWED THE AMOUNT OF THE UNREALIZED GAINS PRIOR TO THE LIQUIDATION.
