If any one is using Etrade's download of all 2008 transactions be advised that there is an issue. If you had a long position in any of the ETF's that have the word "short" in their description it shows up as a short sale as opposed to the sale of a long position. The symbols goofed up in my download were FXP, SKF and SRS.
I've contacted Etrade to see if it can be rectified...
