Great as that adapter is for Wii U owners, itâs even more significant for PC gamers who play Nintendo games on their gaming rigs using the Dolphin GameCube and Wii emulator. A few days after the adapter was released, programmers managed to reverse-engineer it to work on PC. But now the latest builds of Dolphin have native support for the adapter, making GameCube controllers plug-and-play easy. Thanks to Nintendoâs adapter, Dolphin now has perfect 1:1 GameCube controller mapping. To my knowledge, thatâs a first for a PC emulator.
Reinvested Cost Basis. When you reinvest dividends, you buy the stock at a different share price than you originally paid. For example, if you bought a stock at $20 per share and you bought 100 shares, you invested 100 times 20 for a total of $2,000. The cost basis of your investment was $2,000.f you reinvested dividends in a stock before you sold it, you changed your cost basis. In the example, you originally invested $2,000, but you reinvested $200 in money you received from dividends. Your cost basis rose to $2,200.
In its broadest sense, cost basis refers to the price you paid for your shares. That figure is adjusted upward for reinvested dividends and capital gains and any commissions or transaction fees you paid. What cost basis won't necessarily tell you is how much money you made on an investment.
