"There are a few reason why the stock price decreases after a dividend is paid: What's the point of paying a dividend if the stock price automatically decreases? Don't the shareholders just break even? Companies have to do something with their profits. They beholden to their shareholders to make them money either by increasing the share value or paying dividends. So they have the choice between reinvesting their profits into the company to grow the business or just handing the profits directly to the owners of the business (the shareholders). Some companies are as big as they want to be and investing their profits into more capital offers them diminishing returns. These companies are more likely to pay dividends to their shareholders. I assume the price of the stock ""naturally"" increases over the year to reflect the amount of the dividend payment. This is kind of a vague question but then doesn't it make it difficult to evaluate the fluctuations in stock price (in the way that you would a company that doesn't pay a dividend)? It depends on the company. The price may recover the dividend drop... could take a few days to a week. And that dependings on the company's performance and the overall market performance. With respect to options, I assume nothing special happens? So say I bought $9 call options yesterday that were in the money, all of a sudden they're just not? Is this typically priced into the option price? Is there anything else I need to know about buying options in companies that pay dividends? What if I had an in-the-money option, and all of a sudden out of nowhere a company decides to pay a dividend for the first time. Am I just screwed? One key is that dividends are announced in advance (typically at least, if not always; not sure if it's required by law but I wouldn't be surprised). This is one reason people will sometimes exercise a call option early, because they want to get the actual stock in order to earn the dividend.
"I have no fundamental problem with unions; I just think they've overplayed their hand of late, and perhaps would find it valuable to work on better defining or improving the unique value of their workers if they intend to regain even a small sliver of thir previous influence.  On to your point ...  As I (poorly) tried to say, the PR hit from a strike is one ""cost"" that a company must evaluate in determining whether it makes sense to replace workers.  In many cases, the cost of the PR hit is considered lower than the cost of appeasing the union members these days."

&gt;However, recently a new government law was enacted stating that to bid on the contract, the CEO of the bidding company must be a woman or minority.  What country? What law? Not the U.S., that's for sure.  &gt;Despite doing the best job at the best price for years, my company was banned from bidding because our CEO is a white male. Sounds like legally enforced racism to me. Imagine if a company was banned from working for the government only because their CEO were black.  Well then it is a good thing there are so few companies with a black or woman CEO. Any idea why that might be?  &gt;Is there anything that can be done? I mean, isn't this legally enforced discrimination?  I think the technical term is bullshit: a statement made with utter disregard for whether it is true or not.

"You're missing the point here. The goal of ratings firms is **not** to accurately price debt. That's the market's job. The goal of ratings companies is to evaluate the ability of the company to service their debt instrument, much like how the goal of a public accounting firm is to assure that a company's financial statements follow GAAP.  The article implicitly makes the assertion that Aaa rated securities have pretty low default rates; it's mainly only the area of CDO backed securities that there's a large disconnect between the rating and default risk. While this does raise questions about the worthiness of these ratings and the way they went about modeling and rationalizing them, it hardly suggests that they are ""wrong over 50% of the time.""  As a side note, why not make it against the law for mutual funds to have rules that allow them to only hold Aaa rated securities? These funds that demand high credit ratings are only contributing to the conflict of interest by essentially ""asking for it."""
Right- and that's exactly what Amazon wants.  YOUTH.  They'll take every last bit of youthful energy and enthusiasm that a recent grad has to offer, use it up, and burn them out. Rinse and repeat.  They're a despair factory.  Honestly, this is the formula that the average large tech company has mastered.  I know they are good experience and it's hard not to recommend them to recent grads, but man the people I knew from there when I lived in Seattle were depressed and demoralized by the experience.
THIS is why there is no prospectus (it's not a 'security' they are not required to provide one by SEC) because the risk is entirely with the company. Obviously as pointed out in the comments, the company could easily go out of business (especially of they sell a lot of these and can't find a way to get that kind of return on the invested money). Now, ask yourself, if I was the insurance company, would I be comfortable guaranteeing that level of return over that much time if I intend to make a profit from it, pay sales comissions, and stay in business? In terms of 'will they stay in business' I'd have a hard look at their ratings, and go compare where that is on the total range for AM Best (they are lowest 'secure' rating, next thing down is in the 'vulnerable' category) and Standard and Poors (4 places down from their best rating, next thing down is 'marginal' followed by 'poor') You might also want to see if you can get any idea of historical ratings, is this company's ratings falling, or rising? Personally, for the amount of money involved, I'd want a company with MUCH higher ratings than these guys.. THEN maybe someone could say 'no risk', but with those ratings? an no, I don't think so! BTW I'd check over what this bozo (um sorry, that's not fair to clowns) is recommending she do with her own funds as well. For example is he recommending she take something that is already tax sheltered such as an IRA and investing the stuff inside that in an annuity (kind of pointless to 'double shelter' the money, or lock it up for a period of time when she may be required to make withdrawals) make sure you don't see something there that is actually against what is in her best interest and is only done to make him a comission.
5 shareholders with 40% of voting rights wrote a letter asking for him to resign.  This was a forced resignation.  I also think this is a bad sign, because Travis Kalanick is the kind of leader that the best people want to work for, and neutering the company into a corporate-controlled post-growth business isn't going to inspire many people to join.
The stock price is what people think a company is worth, this is made up of When a company pays out a dividend the money in the company’s bank account reduces, therefore the value of the company reduces.    When a company says they are going to pay a larger dividend than expected, we start to expect they are going to make more profit next year as well. So stock price tends to go up when a company says it is increasing the dividend, but down on the day then money leaves the companies bank account.   There is normally many months between the two events.
Well I'm not going to advise whether it's a good idea to invest in this company (though often OTC is pretty scary), but it DOES have a product (vivio, an ad blocker), it did post financials and it's trading on the OTC-QB (which is better than the pink sheets), so you need to look these over and study up on the product to decide if it is overpriced or not.  What might have occurred (viz the Patriot Berry Farm becoming Cyberfort) is that the latter bought up the stock of the former (this is, I believe, called using a shell, which is not necessarily a bad thing) and is using this as a way to be registered, i.e. sell to non-accredited investors via the OTC market.  So I'm really just answering your third question:  yes, you have to do a lot of due diligence to see if buying this stock is a good deal or not.  It might be the next big thing.  Or it might not. It certainly is the case that low trading volume allows a relatively small trade to really change the stock price, so the penny stocks do tend to be easier to 'inflate'. Side comment:  the bid/ask spreads are pretty big, with a best bid of 0.35 and best ask of 0.44.
Here's a little different perspective. I'm not going to talk about the quality of the investment, the expected return, or any of the other things you normally talk about when evaluating investments. This is about family, and the most important thing here is the relationships.  What you need to do here is look at the different possible scenarios and figure out how each of these would make you feel. Only you can evaluate this. For example, here are some questions to ask yourself: I know how I would answer these questions, but that wouldn't help you any. But the advice I would give you is, assuming you have this money to lose, and are also investing elsewhere, evaluate this solely on the basis of the effect on your family relationships.  The only other piece of advice I would give you is to knock out that student loan and car loan debt as fast as you possibly can. Minimize your investments until that debt is gone, so you can get rid of it even faster.
"Its best to check with your company what details they need. Generally for SWIFT Transfers, the below is sufficient;   Additionally any transfers to India require a ""Purpose of Remittance"" to be filled by the company paying to money."
Ok, this gives us something to start on. I am owner of a company that our best selling product is government designed.   Your position is that there is no profit incentive if government invests in a company. I know from first hand experience that is not true. If government were funding your whole company, and you as an owner had no skin in the game - then yes, that would be true. However, that is not what government does. I have experience from receiving government grants for our own innovation, as well as receiving the right to sell a government designed product.   Our company competes with a number of other companies that do the same. This investment in our work has given our company a great boost, which has lead to other ideas and inventions as well as growth and expansion. The end user has gotten the benefit of that too, as the government isn't really good at mass production and sales - but we are. However, if the government hadn't made this investment, we would still be doing what we are doing, it would have just taken us a little longer to get here.   You other position is that they only listen to special interests who would like it if the project is as expensive as possible. There is some truth to that, and there are definitely projects where we have seen that, but that is more the exception than the rule. What usually happens is eventually these companies piss off an end user who receives the product which is the result of these bloated contracts. When it gets bad enough, people run to their representatives, and there is a major investigation. I know of a couple of people who have spent time in the Federal Penn, including the owner of another small business in the city where my company is. A lot of times these companies are banned, or are moved to the fringe where they go into a death spiral.   Competition is the lifeblood of capitalism, and our company has grown and succeeded because we pick up business all the time from larger companies who bloat and laziness has caused them to be noncompetitive.
"The word you are looking for is ""budget"" You can't pay off debt if you are spending more than you earn.  Therefore, start a budget that you both work on at the same time, and both agree 100% with.  Evaluate your progress on that budget on a regular basis. From your question, you understand what your obligations are and you seem to manage money pretty well. Therefore your key to retirement is just the ticket you need. As newlyweds, you both have to be VERY aware that the main reason a marriage fails in the US is money issues.  Starting out with a groundwork where you both agree to your budget and can keep it will help you a lot in your upcoming life. Then, for some details Sprinkle your charitable donations anywhere in the list where you feel it is important."

"For me, the main benefit of using duplicate checks is that the copy is created automatically.  If I had to take an extra step, whether taking a photo or writing on a stub, I would probably not always remember to do it.  There is also the issue that you might need to write a check when you don't have your smartphone with you, or it is broken or has a dead battery, etc. There are various pros and cons of having an electronic record versus a paper record.  A paper copy of a check is more vulnerable to physical loss or intrusion, but an electronic record is more vulnerable to hacking.  You also have to keep the images organized somehow, and take care of data security and backups for the images.  You'll have to evaluate which is the greater concern for you. A minor side point is that check duplicates often omit the account number and obscure your signature.  A photo of the original check would include both of these. As far as ""evidence"", it seems to me they're both equally good evidence that you wrote the check - but that's not really that useful.  In most sorts of disputes, what you would need to prove is that you actually delivered the check to the intended recipient, and neither the photo nor the paper copy is evidence of that.  You could have written the check, taken your photo / copy, and then torn it up."
Check out the questions about why stock prices are what they are. In a nutshell, a stock's value is based on the future prospects of the company. Generally speaking, if a growth company is paying a dividend, that payment is going to negatively affect the growth of the business. The smart move is to re-invest that capital and make more money. As a shareholder, you are compensated by a rising stock price. When a stock isn't growing quickly, a dividend is a better way for a stockholder to realize value. If a gas and electric company makes a billion dollars, investing that money back into the company is not going to yield a large return. And since those types of companies don't really grow too much, the stocks typically trade in a range and don't see the type of appreciation that a growth stock will. So it makes sense to pay out the dividend to the shareholders.
You should talk to a lawyer who's familiar with the matter. I'm not such a lawyer. For the best of my understanding, at least with regards to the US, the answer to all three of your questions is no. Legally, a US company cannot employ Iranian residents and transfer money to Iran. However, I know of Iranians working in the US. So if you manage to secure a H1b visa and move to the US - you can work and earn money here. What you do with it after you earned it - is your business.
My best answer is to simply fish out that old email account. DumbCoder makes a good point - the company whose shares you own can probably figure out what brokerage firm is holding the shares, but it'd take a lot on their end. Honestly you're better off just hitting up random brokerage firms until you find the right one than going to the company and asking them where your shares are. Good luck.
Best as i can tell, the simple answer is: the smartest approach to investing for dividends is to pick a company that is, has, and will continue to make a solid profits. there are lots of them out there. specifically, companies with no debt, a history of long-term and steady growth and a stable market share will, almost always recoup any drop in stock valuation due to a dividend payout...and usually in short order. this is why dividends were created...as a mechanism for distributing profits back to investor without diminishing thier stake in the company. the trick then, is to find such companies with the best ratio between stock price and dividend payout. and again, there are a lot of good options out there.  All the trepidation is justified however, as many unscrupulous companies will try to pull investors in with high dividends as a means to simply generate capital. these companies have few of the quality attributes mentioned above. instead, High debt, fluctuating or negative profits, minimal market share or diminishing growth present a very risky long term play and will be avoided by this conservative investor.

(do I need to get a W9 from our suppliers)? Will PayPal or Shopify send me a 1099k or something? Do not assume that you'll get paperwork from anyone.  Do assume that you have to generate your own paperwork.  Ideally you should print out some kind of record of each transaction.  Note that it can be hard to view older transactions in PayPal, so start now.  If you can't document something, write up a piece of paper showing the state of the world to the best of your knowledge.   Do assume that you need separate receipts for each expenditure.  The PayPal receipt might be enough (but print it in case the IRS wants to see it).  A receipt from the vendor would be better (again, print it if it is online now).   A CPA is not strictly necessary.  A CPA is certified (the C in CPA) to formally audit the books of a corporation.  In your case, any accountant would be legally sufficient.  You still may want to use a CPA, as the certification, while technically unnecessary, still demonstrates knowledge.  You may otherwise not be in a position to evaluate an accountant.  A compromise option is to go to a firm that includes a CPA and then let them assign you to someone else to process the actual taxes.   You are going to have to fill out some business tax forms.  In particular, I would expect a schedule C.  That's where you would show revenues and expenses.  You may well have to file other forms as well.
&gt; ...if we can't trust people to know what they want...  I'm not saying people don't know what they want.  I am saying what people want is easy to influence and every large, successful company does so.  &gt; When you say that not being able to resist buying skittles is a serious problem, while there are still people living on the streets, I think you need some perspective.  I think both problems have the same issues at their core -- what is best for corporate America is not always what is best for the greater good.  &gt; I'd wager that what you're seeing as you get older is the poverty trap...  No, what I see is that people solve problems as best they can with the tools they have learned. People make bad choices because they have an incomplete and/or bad assortment of tools to use.  For example, someone might be worse off in life because he/she never learned the value of good organization skills.  Another example is one person in a couple being unable to trust his/her partner because everyone before was untrustworthy.  &gt; ...which is caused by barriers to expanding earnings...  Just had to throw your primary assertion back in, didn't ya? /grin  &gt; I'd still like to know whether you believe you yourself need to be protected from these marketing practices...  I do believe I need protection from company marketing practices.  I also believe I need protection from their products, influences on the market, environmental impacts, and employee treatment.  FYI, I don't believe impulse buying racks at stores should be illegal but I do think it is a great illustration of how a company caters to needs that are different than our true innate needs.

Having freelanced myself in South America I could give you a sound advice BUT you would first need to answer some questions.  1) How long do you plan on being in South America? At the end of 2017 will you be back in Ireland or still being in South America? In other words was is your country of residence for tax purposes on Dec. 31 2017 ? That is the key element to consider. Link 2) In latin America you can freelance with a legal working permit BUT in all these countries more than 50% of the economy is under the table. In all these countries expatriate work under the table. The question you need to answer is then: Who will be your employer, a company or the owner of this company? Working undeclared in Latin America is very common, what are the risks? The legal risks depend on the country and their laws. In which country will you travel? How long will you stay there? You will have a tourist visa or a working visa? 3) An important detail, your health. Check how long you can be out of Ireland without loosing your social health benefits in Ireland? In my country, if I am abroad for more than 180 days, I loose my national health coverage. Evaluate the amount of days you will be out of Ireland and where you want to be on Dec. 31th. That could change a lot of things in your life.
