WHAT IS THE RELIABILITY

You are a fool if you believe a forex robot will generate consistent profits.

The sales pitches are lies. The trading records offered as "proof" are fabricated.

Please don’t waste your money on something stupid.

My advice! is don’t trade with AE… I spent a lot of money with them… and they don’t work as good as you thing… if you are going to be trading forex… the best thing you can do! is to learn how to trade forex by yourself…. if you wanna follow my advice! I suggest to learn about technical analysis and trading psychology. there are a lot of places to learn it for free… at least the technical basics!!
If you don’t wanna learn… then you should follow an experienced trader that offers Signals service

If you wanna know free web that I suggest to learn.. please let me know!! I don’t wanna sound as i’m selling you something

cheers

The bonds are dated April 1, 2010, and are issued on that date. The discount rate of interest for such bonds on April 1, 2010, is 10%. What cash proceeds did Troutman receive from issuance of the bonds?
Hint: Compute the present value of bonds.

Present value of $1 in 16 periods at 5% is .458 (multiply by $1,000,000 – face amount of bonds)
Present value of annuity of $1 for 16 periods at 5% is 10.84 (multiply by $40,000)

The total of the two values is the present value of the bonds. The number of periods is 16 and the interest rate is 5% because its semiannual compounding. Each interest payment is $40,000 ($1,000,000 x 8% x 1/2).

I believe that one has to own a stock for some fixed period of time in order to have earned the next quarterly dividend. What rules are in place here? Thanks.

Generally speaking, the price of the stock drops at least as much as the divi payout on or near the date of payout. This isn’t mandatory or mechanical…it just seems to happen. This usually prevents people from trying to buy a stock just before the cutoff date and selling right after they get the dividend payout.

Hope it helps.

Thanks for your help.

Normally you need to file them as capital gains or losses (like you would with stocks or options).

But you can make a special election that will allow you to split them as 60% long terms capital gains and 40% regular income, which is advantageous for tax purposes since long term capital gains rates are lower.

Covalent bonds SHARE electrons so you draw the two atoms side by side with shared electrons. Covalent bonds happen between nonmetal and nonmental such as N and O

Ionic bonds are TRANSFERS of electrons so one atom gets all the electrons and one atom loses all. Ionic bonds happen between metal and nonmetals such as Ca and O

The company now predicts that it will maintain a constant dividend since its business has leveled off and sales are expected to remain relatively constant. Given the lack of future growth, you will only buy this stock if you can earn at least 14% rate of return. What is the maximum amount you are willing to pay for one share of this stock today?

PrivateBanker’s answer is almost right but off by some calculator problem and not very general.
Use dividend capitalization model which says:
Required Return = Dividend Payout ratio + Growth rate
14% = 0.62/share price + 0% => share price = 0.62/0.14 = RM4.43
