How companys pay dividends on their stocks?
Questions:
Does every company pay dividends on their stocks every 3 months?
Do I have to have the stocks on hold for atleast 3 months to receive dividends?
What If I buy a company’s stock a day before the company starts giving dividends will I get it then?
And, what If the prices of my stocks fall will i still receive dividends?-
nicedoc
By convention most pay them quarterly but they can choose to pay them in any schedule they want. I have a stock for example that gives out dividends every month.
Dividends are paid to shareholders who own the stock at the ex-dividend date (usually about a month before the payout date). If purchase the stock after the ex-dividend date, you won’t get the dividend for that period. Conversely, if you own the stock at the time of the ex-dividend date but sell it afterwards but before the payout date, you will still get the dividend.
The dividend is not affected by the share price though a drop in share price may indicate financial troubles that could put future dividends at risk. That’s why you should be cautious about company’s with fat dividend payouts (e.g. 7% or more) since, rather than being a bargain, it more likely means a dividend cut is in the near future.

Not all companies pay dividends but if they do it is normally quarterly. You get the dividend if you own the stock on the ex-dividend date. The price of the stocks does not have any effect on the dividend.

If a company is profitable and has a dividend policy of paying so much of its earnings to shareholders you will receive regular dividends. I think most US companies pay quarterly, UK semi-annually. The critical date is called the Ex Dividend date and is set by the Stock Exchange. If you buy before the Ex date you get the dividend. If you sell on or after the Ex date you get the dividend

Not every company pays dividends every 3 months. Some pay annually, semi-annually, or none at all.
No, you just need to buy the stock the day before the ex-dividend date. You can sell it on or after the ex-dividend date.
If the prices fall, you lose money.

Investing IN real estate?
I am interested in purchasing a multifamily property and qualify for the Va loan to do so for up to 0,000.00 with no money down. I found several fourplexes in my area for that price that are in good shape. Should I buy a property like that, live in one unt and rent the other three out? They already have tenants in three of the units.
-

Investing in RE is a very wise choice and has more tax advantages and loopholes than any other investment vehicle. I do agree with the last poster about living in your rental, but if that gets you going, it may be the way to start.
If not, look into other areas or even other states. There are many great deals out there both pre-owned and new.Good luck
-
Ross
I am all for investing in property. The concern I would have is living there. I have rentals and I wouldn’t want to live next to my tenants. My tenants are great, that’s not the point. For me it would be like bringing my work home everyday all day with no escape. If I were single I may fell different.

It’s always wise to live below your means while building your real estate portfolio. I love multi units because if you buy them right they pump cash 24/7.
The part i don’t like is getting and signing for a loan. Set up your business for NO RISK PERIOD.

Stock trading or sex trading — what's the difference?
Wall street is in the business of making money from the spread, the difference between ask and bid price of the stock. Volatile market is in their best interest because then people trade more often. The analysts role is to maintain this volatility doing thus service to Wall street, right? How much real do you think is this somewhat sceptic (or cynical) point of view?
both immoral, but one is legal the other not. Tell Wall steeters they are in an immoral business!
As volume increases spread decreases, I agree, but their product, spread times volume, increases too.
It is like selling cheap humburgers at McDonalds to millions of customers instead of more expensive ones at mom and pop’s restourant to fewer customers. Big industry is always more profitable.-

You are right, but there is no respect and honour in sex trading.

the way I feel about "money" people, and the way I feel about "sex traders" [ie. people that just trade sex for favors instead of for love], I, personally see no difference….both are IMMORAL!

Actually..I don’t think it is cynical..I think it is incorrect. MOST of wall street makes commission from either purchase or sale, regardless of the price or spread of the product. SOME on "wall street" (although very few are actually there) DO make money from bid/ask spreads and price differentials. This group would be arbitrage guys and hedge funds. There are far fewer of those guys however than there are regular "retail" and "institutional" brokers. Really, analysts’ jobs are not to increase or decrease volatility, but to provide SOME idea to people on where to put their money in the myriad of choices available. The net effect of a higher volume of both buyers and sellers combined with increased transparency ACTUALLY results in tighter spreads.
***I DO agree that big industry can gain greatly in a high volume environment…but, I don’t have a problem with that. I mean technically, I suppose I could NOT use a $9.99 high volume broker (who is very profitable btw) and I COULD go to a more service oriented low volume shop (who is also very profitable) and pay $50 or $60 or more. But that is MY choice as a consumer…do I want higher service or simply transaction completion. I cannot criticize a group for making money…they are making money because people use them. People with decision making power and alternatives. I CHOOSE to use the brokers I do. I never feel as if I am getting screwed or taken advantage of. If I felt that way, I would walk down the street to the next guy. Or, simply choose to do fewer transactions.

Always Right
The bid-ask spread is necessary. Without those couple pennies of profit, who would bother to make the market? If there were no market makers, you’d have a much tougher time finding someone to buy stock from or sell stock to. These market makers garantee that you can buy or sell at any given time.

Can I do a 1031 exchange with money from the sale of a long-term lease?
I have a long-term lease on a large commercial building. I’d like to sell this lease and re-invest the money in the purchase of an investment property. Do I qualify for a 1031 exchange in this case?
-
Tim F
Yes, the sale of a lease is "like kind property" for other real estate.
However, in order to qualify for 1031 treatment, your lease must itself have been held for investment or the production of income. In this case, that means that you could not have have been using the leased premises for your business activities.
Finally, you will have to comply with the other requirements for 1031 treatment.
Please re-post with additional facts to clarify this point.
Hope this helps.

What's the Difference between Al Gore and Bernard Madoff?
They both show phony documentation to get money.
The phony documentation shows it’s a scam for money.
The main difference so far is that Bernard has been caught and it’s only a matter of time before Al gets caught.
QUESTION :::::
Do you see any differences between the two men ?
======================================…
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bernard_Madoff
Bernard Lawrence "Bernie" Madoff (pronounced /ˈmeɪdɒf/) (born April 29, 1938) is an American former non-executive chairman of the NASDAQ stock exchange who pled guilty to an 11-count criminal complaint, admitting to defrauding thousands of investors, and was convicted of operating a Ponzi scheme that has been called the largest investor fraud ever committed by a single person.

Al Gore invests millions to make billions in cap-and-trade software
By Steve Milloy Wednesday, June 3, 2009
Al Gore’s venture capital firm has invested million in a software company that stands to make billions of dollars from cap-and-trade regulation — further fueling controversy that Gore lied about his profiteering from cap-and-trade to Rep. Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) and the House Energy and Environment Subcommittee during testimony in April.

Weather Channel, 30,000 Scientists Suing Gore for Global Warming Fraud
John Coleman, founder of the Weather Channel will be joining 30,000 scientists to sue Al Gore to debunk global warming fraud. He said global warming supporters are not open to scientific, objective discussion but have been silencing their oposition to cover their faulty science.
Coleman hopes that the lawsuit will bring the truth of the matter to the public eye and force media and government outlets to give a more balanced report on the claims.

Dear lady, why are you banging your head so hard against the wall? The followers of the ‘anointed one’ are going to agree with and follow him no matter what he does and the rest of us don’t need to be convinced. Unfortunately there’s not a hell of a lot that can be done this year except email and call your reps and object. But that probably won’t matter much. If they want to get re elected they have to follow the party line and vote accordingly. But please carry on, I enjoy your postings and couldn’t agree with them more. Good luck to you

Is there an interactive program that shows the earth and lets you raise the ocean levels?
People keep on giving reports that the oceans are going to rise as much as 4 feet by 2100 and it would be better appreciated if people could see how this will affect them. Not to mention it could show where you might want to invest in future beach front property:)

Day trades are not a good way to make money in the market. The transaction costs eat at your profits. Not to mention capital gains tax! I suggest reading the book A Random Walk Down Wall Street by Burton Malkiel. My finance professor recommended it to me and I must agree it brings some perspective to the craziness.
personalfinancedaily 5:08 pm on March 11, 2010 Permalink
I think a book from one of the major bookstores might be a better bet as far as small day trades "Day Trading for Dummies" or something similar, but I did take a class in Corporate Finance that was very interesting and one of the assignments was to take $100,000 of imaginary money and invest it for the company. There was a class wide competition. Good luck in your search.

You would need to take courses in Personal Finance, or Investment, most of which require you to have prerequisites in accounting or business first.
Shaun R 5:08 pm on March 11, 2010 Permalink
You can’t learn how to day trade in college. You have to actually research how people make money in the stock market, develop your own system, and test it.

You may want to take a class on portfolio management or investment valuation.

You would be better off with a 3 days course at the Online Academy.
Bill C 5:08 pm on March 11, 2010 Permalink
You would need an entire series of courses (also known as a college DEGREE) to learn the basics of investing.
This is not a way to earn money and learn from experience or a single course or book. You’d go broke long before you learned lesson number one.
Daniel @ automated forex trading 3:12 am on March 12, 2010 Permalink
Actually day trading stocks manually will take up a lot of time. I think a college should come out with a course teaching people how to automated their strategies. Although I’m not too sure how effective automated stocks trading can be, but one thing I know for sure is that consistent income can be generated from currency trading.
