The dividend policy directly affects share price. There is a technique for share valuation known as the dividend growth model (DGM). The fundamental theory is that one would add up the present value of all upcoming dividends for that company, the sum of which would equate to the current stock price. The DGM assumes that a company is mature and has stable growth (e.g., inflation of 3% and relative economic growth of 3%). The DGM may be used for high growth industries; however, the growth must get to a mature rate for the results to be effective. The DGM, in reality, is really only useful as a gauge on value since there are a lot of assumptions on (1) future economic periods and (2) the ability of the company to produce cash flow during those periods. The forecasting; therefore, is crucial, and the average investor does not have/know how to use the tools available to do so. Also, there are other variables that impact stock price including the perceived value of the brand, the strength of the management team, the competitive nature of the industry, what point in the lifecycle is the company, etc. The DGM formula is as follows: Stock Price = Dividend / (Required Rate of Return - Expected Growth Rate) For example, let's say that a company has a $1 dividend that is paid once per year and is expected to continue forever. The growth rate of the economy is 3% and the expected inflation rate is 3%, making the overall growth rate 6% (in reality the value is slightly higher than 6% with compounding; however, the example is meant to be simple). The company has stated that it will only invest in projects having a 10% (or higher) return. Using the formula: Stock Price = $1 / (10% - 6%) = $1 / 4% = $25.00 Taking this policy further, let's say that the company increases the dividend to $1.20 per year and indicates that there are no other expected changes. The value, then, would change from $25.00 to: New Stock Price = $1.20 / (10% - 6%) = $1.20 / 4% = $30.00 There are versions of the formula that take into account different periods of growth and adjust the cash flows accordingly; however, at the end of the day, the ability of the company to pay dividends is highly correlated to the underlying stock price. ___________________________ Indirectly. If a company has a long history of paying increasing dividends, more people are likely to want to buy that company's stock than to sell it. Over time, this will result in the company's share price rising.

You should contact the company that you are depositing shares with to ensure proper procedure-especially if the names on the certificate do not match the account name exactly.

Generally, all parties on the certificate, should sign the certificate with their names exactly as it appears on the front of the certificate and date it.

To ensure it is deposited in your name, you should also complete the middle of the certificate where there is a line "I do hereby irrevocably constitute and appoint __________ as attorney to transfer." In the blank fill out the name of the brokerage firm or transfer agent that you are submitting your shares for deposit to. No other areas need to be completed.

Some people also suggest completing a stock power of attorney form and mailing it separetely from the certificate. On a stock power, you would list the security and number of shares the certificate represents and sign it exactly as names appear on the actual certificate.

Before mailing, you should always make a copy of the certificate. This way you have record of all the information in case of loss or theft.

in case of bonus shares the value of the share decreases proportionate to the number of bonus shares issued. for eg: if company issues bonus shares in ratio of 1:1 and the price of share is 900 , then after bonus issue, the corresponding value of the share gets Rs. 450.genreally company issue this in place of giving dividends.the market captalisation doesnt get affected. as if shares doubles the prices is halved. whereas in split shares the face value of share decreases. generally the face value of share is 10 Rs. but face value can be high. eg: if face value is 100 Rs. then company can split d share in ratio of 100:10. ..now the person holding 100 shares of rs 100 now will hold 1000 shares of 10 Rs each. now shares can be traded more frequently and this will in turn increase the liquidity of the share

I haven't seen any numbers, but as a competitive soccer player for over 30 years I'd have to think the short list would include Adidas and Puma at the top, followed by Nike, Umbro, Diadora, and perhaps Kappa. Reebok might have a piece of the soccer market, also.
