Writing off losses on sales of investment:

Selling an investment property at a loss may not be ideal but it may be necessary if you need cash or you simply no longer wish to own the property.  You can write off sales of investment on the property if you understand how deducting capital losses works. When you sell an investment property at a loss, you’ll need to report it on Schedule D of your Form 1040 to claim a deduction.

Shopify Stock Alert: Buy or Sell the Stock Split News?

Shopify is planning a 10-for-1 stock split. While the stock is now up 3% on the day, it was down more than 1.5% shortly after the open. Despite this the action is quite little still.

It doesn’t fix anything or change the situation. It simply multiples the share count and divides the stock price.  If growth stocks rebound soon, Shopify will too. If it remains under pressure though, we could see
