Identify the cash flows available to an investor in stock. How reliably can these cash flow be estimated?
Some cash flows that are available to a stock investor include dividend payments and the cash flow that he can get upon the sale of the stock. Dividends are more suitable in the long run.
Is dividend ordinary income?
Most dividends are. However, long term capital gains distributions from a mutual fund are capital gains. Liquidating dividends and return-of-capital dividends can be capital gains. And, to make matters more confusing, some dividends, knows as "qualifying dividends," are taxed at long term capital gains rates even though they are not capital gains.
What the meaning of stock price?
A share price is the price of a single share of a company's stock. Once the stock is purchased, the owner becomes a shareholder of the company that issued the share. The price is calculated by dividing the market capitalization by the total number of shares outstanding. When viewed over long periods, the share price is directly related to the earnings and dividends of the firm. Over short periods, especially for younger or smaller firms, the relationship between share price and dividends can be quite irrational.

How long must one wait after selling a stock before one can repurchase again?
It's an important strategy for saving income taxes. You sell the stock at the end of the year to take the loss and buy back because you believe in the stock for the long term. The risk is that the stock will have a run up after you sold and before you bought back. I'm not sure how long you have to wait (per IRS) to buy it back though. That's why I bumped into this question.

How do stock dividends affect stock indexes?
The stock that forms the part of the index will have a weight in the index, i.e. how much the movement of that stock affects the movement of the index. When a dividend goes ex, this will trigger a 'drop point' on the index. This is calculated from the value of the dividend, the weight in the index and the fx rate, if the stock is priced in a different currency from the index. When a dividend goes ex, the price of the underlying stock will open that morning lower by the amount of the dividend. This usually doesn't have a huge effect as the percentage change is well within day trading movements of a stock anyhow. The same applies for the level of an index move - the index will open lower by the drop point amount, but will generally be negligible on the movements of intra-day trading anyhow. You may have to be careful with special dividends, as they can be a higher percentage of the stock trading price, which may actually cause a noticeable drop in intra day trading price. They can also affect index levels. Dividends have a different effect on options though, but generally the price of a basic call / put would already have been adjusted before the ex-date. If you have a structured product, for example a vertical spread consisting of 2 long and 2 short options, then your position won't be affected as what you lose on one you will make on the other. If you have a time spread where your position is dependant on the stock price staying where it is, then you need to do further analysis on your Greeks and how it will affect option price. Thanks.

How long did it take for the stock market to recover after 1929?
A very long time. It took years, I believe, until after World War II began and perhaps even after it ended for the stock market to recover the level it has before the crash of 1929.

Stock pledges are customary vehicles to provide lenders with liquidity should a loan go bad, should your stock be publicly traded. It provides some comfort, in any event, even with private stock. There is substantial risk in making a stock pledge because, if the loan goes bad, the stock can be sold at an inopportune time for a publicly traded stock and at a severely discounted price if it is in a private company. For the lender, stock pledges are a very valuable commodity for the same reasons they are problematic for the prospective debtor.1. Make multiple copies. Give one to each party.
