CAD is the stock exchange symbol for the Canadian dollar.
What is the tax advantage that companies experience when bonds are issued instead of stock?
Interest is deductible as a business expense and dividends are not.
Now here's the flip side: Ever see the movie Goodfellas? There was a scene where someone took Paulie on as an investor in a restaurant. In investment terms, he sold a bond to Paulie. Now, every week he's got to pay Paulie. No matter how bad things were..."The restaurant caught fire? Pay me." And that's what you have to do when you sell bonds: on the date the interest payment is due, you have to pay your investors. If you sell stock and for some reason you absolutely can NOT pay a dividend, you aren't required to. (This will probably cause your investors to sell.)
Does the paid-up capital include preference capital or only equity capital?

This is general advise on how to become ones own investment adviser.
Let me first say up front I am not an investment adviser,nor I am trained or certified to give the technical type of advise for you to make nuts and bolts decisions. I started my education over 25 years ago with the same question you have. I was lucky enough to run across an educational series on how money works put together by a Man Named Charles Givens. He was run out of his business by unending lawsuits by Insurance Co.s (in the guise of individuals) because he taught everyone what the various Insurance plans where and which plans people did not need that created allot of profit for the Companies. He taught us where to recover money that was overspent on lots of areas in life (i.e. insurance added on to your auto loan by the dealer). After less than 30 days I had a beginning amount to put into a work place retirement plan. There are many more authors who have replaced him. At this time I am only familiar with Susie Oman's books which are great for beginners to start learning about money management. Money management comes first!
After your credit cards are paid off and you have signed up at work for a retirement plan then begin learning about how to invest your money yourself.
A couple of books that I found helpful that are still good today to simply explain what investing and stocks are all about. Common sense explanations and not boring.
1. Peter Lynch's Investment book.
2. Books or website by "Motley Fools" www.motleyfool.com
Be aware of the tempting and quick advice trap. Almost every stock listed has someone who loves it and will write what sound like good reasons to buy it. Wait until you have read the basics and done a couple of on-line courses on how to evaluate a Companies before starting to buy anything. Stock tips from friends are just that, don't be tempted to buy unless you do the research and it makes sense based on your new skills, I can not emphasize that point enough. An extremely good idea is to practice "paper pretend trades" for 2 years while you learn. Most websites will let you setup a fake account to do this and see how well you can apply ones ideas. None of learning about investing is hard. The most difficult part is putting in the time to research a Co., compare it to other co. in the same business and to rationally decide based on the numbers. After you are actively investing then read books about the psychology of trading to understand yourself better.
In the mean time, put the max $ away into an IRA, Roth IRA or work related retirement tax deferred fund, usually a mutual fund of some sort. If you do not know which MM fund just yet than a Credit union CD will have the highest interest rates and OK for the short term like 6-12 months, no longer. Do not put more than 10% of your retirement acct into the Company you work for stock. At first safety is important until one learns the ropes. But you are investing for the long run anyway for your children, so 2 years to learn the basics (est. 1 hour/week time spent on self education) is not out of the ordinary. If you are quicker all the better.
Excellent money management info is also essential and there are many folks with good books and on-line courses. One of the most famous right now is Susie Oman. I would recommend staying away from the TV advertised how to become a trader overnight course until you are ready. If you choose to have an investment adviser do the daily work of this stuff knowing how these things work will assist you in picking someone who knows what they are doing and will play safe with your money.
I find that most people do not know what their adviser does and simple refer their guy based on weather they like the guy or gal.
Much luck and hard work to those who choose to become a "self directed investor". It is very rewarding and will definitely make you more money in your life time than the job market alone. Be Well

Do genealogists usually get paid?
There are professional genealogists that will do research in exchange for money. They usually charge a fee by the hour and may want travel costs and materials costs.

Why company limited by guarantee does not have share capital?
In a company limited by shares, each shareholder's loss in the event of the company being wound up is limited to the value of his/her shareholding. In a company limited by guarantee, the amount of loss is limited to the (usually nominal) amount that the members guarantee to pay (as stated in the company's Memorandum of Association). Since the guarantee already limits the amount of the members' liability, it is not necessary to further limit it according to the number of shares that the member holds. Companies limited by guarantee are also most often used for clubs, associations, etc. where all member votes count as equal and not according to the number of shares held.

What is the ticker symbol for Holiday Inn?
On the NYSE it is traded as IHG (InterContinental Hotels Group - Holiday Inn's Parent Company); on the LSE it is traded as IHGPLC.
No. And it's not uncommon for an investor to hold stock in two or more rival companies.
If a controlling interest of stock in two companies were held in common by one person or parent corporation, that would be a different story, but even then, the companies can still be "rivals" instead of "affiliates" in some senses of the terms.
What is Georgia Railroad and Banking Company stock worth?
The Georgia Railroad and Banking Company circa 1837, eventually merged with First Union who was acquired by Wachoviawho was acquired by Wells Fargo who is still very much in business. I would guess that a Georgia Railroad and Banking Company stock certificate would be worth something to someone there if nothing else than very good marketing.
The Georgia Railroad and Banking Company even honored Confederate specie issued by themselves after the Civil War and paid a dividend to it's shareholders every year it existed save one year 1865. The Georgia Railroad and Banking Company was the most prestigious bank in the South if not in the entire US. Contact someone in Wells Fargo's marketing department. You may be surprised. It probably has a surrender value but would also make a heck of a PR piece for banking stability.
