I encountered so many triangles that didn't work as expected. Is there anything to figure out when it's more likely to work or not?

When triangles work in technical analysis? |
Is there any evidence that 'triangles' should work at all? What academic studies can you cite to support the reality of 'triangles'?
Momentum, mean-reversion, and factors such as quality, value, and smallness have academic support.

So long story short, my friend is stuck overseas outside of U.S and in order to wire his money (about $8000-9000) through a bank, he has to do it in person for international wire transfers. My friend basically has this money stuck in a U.S based bank account and wants to transfer his money to himself and rightfully so.... |

As I'm trading stocks, most of my transactions are selling stocks that have gains and immediately investing in other stocks.

Your question seems to be based on the desire to continue to defer recognition of taxable income by avoiding receipt of cash.

Last year my parents 'transferred to me' what I think was a whole-life policy. They had been paying small premiums on it for years (I'm 47), said it had some cash value, and were offering to transfer it to me, so I could cash it out. Which I did. But not until January 2021.

Strictly looking at the loan numbers:
- Your original loan was $20,000 at 4.75% for 60 months. That equates to a monthly payment of around $375. You'll pay a total of $2,508 in interest over those 60 months.
- You have $9,000 left, which means about 26 payments remain. You've paid about $2,000 in interest so far... |

I bought a domain ($3,000) right before I started a business SMLLC (single-member LLC). At the time, I thought that the domain can be treated as "start-up" cost so I do not need to capitalize the asset. However, after some research, it seem like I do have to capitalize it.

Bought a domain before starting a small business (SMLLC), is it considered a startup cost? |
IRS doesn't care. Most likely, neither will someone suing you.
I'm sure you are running your SMLLC with the default "pass-through" tax treatment (not "corporate" tax treatment where it files its own Form 1120). So the IRS considers it a "disregarded entity" and couldn't care less whether the domain is yours person... |
