I had a Fidelity Destiny Fund for a couple of years, and sold it all last
March (1985).   I had been making $300 investments each month through March.
How do I figure the gain or loss?

This was not an IRA, so I was paying taxes all along on the fund distributions.
Are the $300 investments made 6 months or less before March 1985, treated
differently than all the others, ie. short term vs. long term gain/loss?

Or , is it as easy as  taking price sold - total investment - distributions
- fund charges?

Please, help.
