The general topic of running x86 programs on an ARM system has come up on Super User before.

You would need to get the source code of the Maestro Control Center and recompile it for the ARM architecture, but since it is closed-source software (as per this forum post by a Pololu employee), your chances of doing that are very slim, to say the least.

Alternatively, you could try some kind of emulator, but you will be better off searching for an alternative program that is open-source or at least available for the ARM architecture.

How to use ARM software in Raspberry?
I am looking for a way to transfer a stock that has done well into a safer investment (like an index fund). I assume the only way I can do this is sell the stock, pay the tax owing, and buy new stock.

I do remember reading something about you can transfer the ownership of the stock (e.g. into a Children's Trust) but not sure if that is realistic.

I know the 1031 Exchange is a real estate tax benefit to encourage reinvestment in property and I just wondered if there is anything similar for securities.
