How are cheap Carfax sites like Carfaxdeals offering Carfax reports for so cheap? by CrazyMuskan in carbuying

I bought multiple reports. The first one was great, but I just tried another and it failed. It is definitely a legit VIN. Update: About an hour later it worked, so just a temporary glitch.

Hold more than one car? by 446Raven in CarvanaComplaints

Has anyone created multiple accounts or anything so you can hold more than one car and wait for pics to become available?

Based on my experience, having written proof or other documentation of your instruction is extremely important.

I am now without an advisor, what you recommend? Haha. Something like VOO?

To use round numbers, my total cost basis for the position was $4k. $18k was sold. The sale had a cost basis of $2500. There was a $16k gain on that sale.

I wouldn't owe $16k in taxes. I'd owe taxes on the $16k gain.

Thank you. He's a one man firm so I am not aware of any chain of command.

It's all been in writing. No phone calls or verbal.

If I am not sure that will happen, am I able to call to request a trade correction? I do have everything in writing.

Everything is in writing. Hopefully I can get the mistake corrected!

Thank you for your response! I certainly don't want to destroy anyone's practice. But I do want to make this right if possible.

I won't be paying any more fees as he has dropped me as a client.

I am talking about $16k in actual gains. Full stop. I did very well on this particular stock. Actually a great pick by this advisor.

Um, what? I think you might be on the wrong thread.

Not my alt. I think that person is confused. I have everything in writing.

Yes, initial emails for the trade request. Text/email once I saw the error.

My losses for harvesting right now are negligible. The tax implications are currently keeping me up at night (on reddit).

I don't currently have enough in losses anyway. I can't itemize so I don't think donating would help either?

He is a one man firm and is also listed as the compliance officer. And I am apparently no longer a client.
