what is the individual stocks different from common stocks ? can u access to preference stocks ? I once lost 70% on my stock.

on what ? stock ? government bonds ? houses ?

simple Q: how do you invest your money in long run ? hope to share you experience.

hope an experienced accountant / others who could figure it out could explain it to me. thank u very much !

yes, you are right. i don't understand why they think the buyer pays twice 20% regardless of tax or cost ? they say it is the way of how an accountant views it.

Christine holds the bond till the dividend date, and she doesnt sell it out on that date. my Q is why on the dividend paid date, Christine actually paid twice 20 % ?

A 5-year duration coupon bond has 8% annual rate, the par value is $100. It's issue date is Jan 2, 2010, the dividend paid date (is it called ex-dividend date? i forget..) is Jan 1, 2011, and the tax rate is 20% for the coupon rate $8 on dividend paid date. (note: if the buyers sell this bond before dividend paid date, he/she will avoid the 20% tax rate.) if we hold this bond till dividend paid date Jan 1, 2011, we will get $6.4 dividend after tax. Christine buys this coupon bond on Dec 29, 2010, she pays almost 108 and she will get approx.$6.4 dividend on the dividend paid date. my Q is why people says she actually pays twice 20% tax ? it is 40% tax for this coupon bond dividend ? the first 20% is paid out to the seller who sells it on Dec 29,2010, because the seller avoids the tax rate but Christine burdens the tax, and the second time is the tax rate deducted by authority on Jan 1, 2011, so it is 40%. if that is the case, it costs 40%* $8 = $3.2 to make it 40%, but she finally will get almost $6.4 dividend instead of $4.8 and pays only 108. $8 - $6.4 = $1.6 --> only 20% tax. why people insist she pays twice 20% ?? who can explain it to me ? thank u very much.

This thread is really boring. Nobody cares to have a look.... nobody studies French, sigh,,

i heard France provides free french course for foreigners, is it real ?? i can not verify it.... thanks for help.

yes.

Doctor, are you Dr. House ? ;-p

where could i get this free app for caller ID ?

this Apple phone is free for me. You say iPhones are amazing. How amazing are they ? i don't notice it.

Phi, luckily, my own PC which i use most of time is not Apple. ;-D My PC's OS is W7 that is quite easy to operate.

this iphone5 IMO can be called a recluse. It even doesn't have disk storage (documents & movies. etc ). By the way, does icloud work for data exchange from my PC ?

this iphone drives me crazy ! i cant exchange any data with my PC ! Must i use iphone to download anything i need ?? is this the only way ?? my old phone has lots of useful functions, however this SMART phone is not that smart as i expect. why iphone5 does not have caller location identification ? my old one has it without any charge. the another not-user-friendly thing is the bluetooth is useless between iphone and other phones.

hi,guys, how can i connect my iphone5c to my PC to get data exchange ? thanks.

I am 100% sure i am allergic to tetanus shot, because it is the doctor who told my parents many years ago I can not get tetanus shot when I was cut on my forehead and hospitalized for a couple of days.

I am seriously allergic to tetanus shot. There is no treatment for patients like me ? ?

what's the material of stapler's staples ? It got rusty and pricked my finger, then blood came out. Is it OK not to see a doctor ? (I am not hypochondriac.)

Does pumpkin increase or decrease blood sugar level ?
