Ok so you rebalance your portfolio on a regular basis and take out your choice of SWR as living expense.
Which shares do you sell first?
- The 1st you have put in?
- The last?
- Pick the low cost shares?
- Pick the high cost shares?
- Use the average method and don't worry?
Up to now I always have used the average cost method however if I will withdraw on a regular basis there might be advantage of picking the high cost shares first to limit cap-gain taxes? But would that bring very high cap gains much later?
