Investors & landlords

Thanks for responding Mike. Our parents gifted us 10% stock around 1998. We were gifted an additional 3% around 2005. In 2008, my father took back the 13% and sold some of the shares(I’m really not sure what he did). He then in 2009 gave us 10% again. We never received any compensation for the 13%. Likewise we never paid for the 10%. It was a gift. Does this clear things up?
