Elizabeth Taylor – “Father’s Little Dividend”

Posted by admin on March 7th, 2010 and filed under dividend | 4 Comments »

One of Dame Elizabeth Taylor’s greatest roles is that of being a mother. Both on screen and off screen, her parental skills are legendary. The examples of this are her own four children being successful and scandal free. Some children of celebrities, who aren’t as famous as Elizabeth, find themselves submitting to drug, alcohol and living needless restless lives. Elizabeth’s children grew up when she was the most famous woman in the world. At one point she had four children, all under the age of 8…and still her mothering skills superseded her fame. Well adjusted children were the results. In ‘Father’s Little Dividend’ (a sequel to ‘Father of the Bride’), Elizabeth played a mother for the first time. But her personal life was not so happy. Unlike ‘Father of The Bride’ where Elizabeth was playing a bride off and on screen, on “Father’s Little Dividend” her played a mother on screen, and was experiencing her first painful divorce off screen. Please see the happy, joyous film if you get the chance!
In viewing these short film clips, please donate to the cause that has become Dame Elizabeth Taylor’s life mission for over two decades. The eradication of AIDS in the world. Until such time, “The Elizabeth Taylor AIDS Foundation” funds programs and organization that give direct care to the population of millions affected with HIV/AIDS…whether it is direct care or related/ associated services. So many people are now living longer with AIDS/HIV due to advances in viral medication technology, but the impact of living a life with AIDS is far reaching. AIDS affects all of us, in one way or another. Generations of young people are not conscious of the 1980’s. The face of AIDS has changed since the time when those who were ill were visibly stigmatized, akin to being lepers. Now, those with HIV/AIDS live life among the general population attempting to cope with the disease. Sometimes, silently. Emotionally, the impact is just the same as those first diagnosed. Fear. The only solution is to rid the world of this disease, therefore opening a technological highway aimed to ignite the remedy to so many other diseases as well.
Any amount of time or money will push this development ahead, not behind…never behind!
Thank you, Richard Bassett

How can you hedge against a stock dropping after a special dividend is paid?

Posted by admin on March 2nd, 2010 and filed under dividend | 2 Comments »

When a company announces a special dividend and it is paid at pay date, the underlieing stock will usually drop the same amount as the dividend. Is there any way this can be hedged against?

You can’t hedge against it, because it is a known fact in the market and all derivative instruments like futures and options will have taken this drop into account with respect to their pricing.

It would also be a strange notion to imagine that you could collect the dividend and have someone else pick up the costs for the subsequent and logical price drop (all other things being equal).

How do you find a dividend history on a particular stock?

Posted by admin on February 26th, 2010 and filed under dividend | 2 Comments »

I’m trying to find the dividend history for XM Satellite Radio Holdings Inc. but can’t find it on finance sites…any help?

If not can you explain what a dividend history is?

(Im just learning about stocks in school but is still confused on what some differences are)

You can find historical prices and dividend history of Yahoo Finance, www.finance.yahoo.com enter the ticker or use the lookup function in this case XMSR and click on historical prices. Scan down the prices and on days with dividends it will give the dividend. You can also go to the investor relations site of the company and it may be there or if your school has a Bloomberg terminal (some universities do) type in XMSR equity DVD for the dividend history.

This would be how to find the information but for XM I’ll just tell you that XM has never paid a dividend. Dividends are something that many companies pay out to their owners ussually out of retained earnings. XM has up to now never had a profit so they have no earnings to pay out, this is not uncommon for a young company esspecially a capital intensive one like XM. Also may profitable companies do not pay dividends if they think they can use that money more profitably than their cost of capital, this is no guarentee that they will.

Hope this helps.

Is there a maximum cap on the tax percentage that the IRS assesses on stock dividend payouts?

Posted by admin on February 24th, 2010 and filed under dividend | 4 Comments »

I have a stock BPT (NYSE) which I keep just for the 10%+/year dividend it has been paying out. Will the capital gains taxes which I get charged on these dividends be equal to whatever tax bracket I am in, or is there a fixed tax rate on them which may be at some % less than my tax bracket (which I think is around 33 or 35%)? I’m hoping obviously that the latter is the case as I’d rather not get charged 30% in taxes on the 10% dividend that I’m making. Also, would the tax rate on stock dividend payout be affected in any way on how long I had held the stock? Thanks in advance for any pertinent and knowledgeable responses.

This is a domestic stock. The dividends it issues may be qualified, meaning they are taxed at the same rate as long-term capital gains. In your case, the tax on qualified dividends is 15%.

In order for your dividends to be qualified, you must hold the stock for at least 61 days. The 61 days have to be in the period starting 60 days before the ex-dividend date, to 60 days after the ex-dividend date (total of 121 days).

In January or early February 2008 you should receive a 1099DIV from your financial institution showing the dividends paid and the amount of those dividends that are qualified.

Any dividends that are not qualified are taxed at your ordinary income tax rate, in your case over 30%.

What kind of investing gives you a dividend or check every month, etc?

Posted by admin on February 20th, 2010 and filed under dividend | 6 Comments »

I have a retirement account (403b) that I invest money into every month. However, I’d like to expand my investing and do the "stocks and bonds" thing to get a dividend as "income" on a regular basis. How does one go about setting something like this up? All of the people I know that trade dont speak "little guy" so I am asking here for the n00b investor info.

Stock funds generally pay dividends quarterly. Some bond funds, like short term bond funds, pay monthly.
