For example, I buy 1000 shares of a stock for $10 each on the US Market for a total of $10,000. The US Market closes at 4pm Eastern.

If an indicator comes out after the US Market closes to indicate the stock will significantly fall in price as soon as the US Market opens tomorrow, can I use my online broker to sell the stock in an overseas market that was originally traded in the US Market so that I can sell that stock in its entirety for profit prior to the US Market opening again in the morning and having the value of the stock plummet?

Basically I am looking to ensure I don't take a loss by selling the stock in a foreign market for profit prior to the US Market opening again in the morning.

Is this possible? If so, how can it be done?

If this is not possible, why can't the stock be traded in a foreign market, just as foreign stocks are bought and sold here in the US Market?

Canadian Lottery choices, if I win the jackpot I have the folloing choices:

a $17 million dollar lump sum payment or $1 million a year annunity for the next 25 years.

The fine print says the lottery corp may hire out the annuity, and is not responsible if the 3rd party doesn't pay up.

I am 45 years old.

If I am lucky enough to win, which would be a better choice.

I wanted to know if you can receive a dividend without holding onto a stock for a long period of time. What are the normal limits regarding the distribution of dividends?

Can an investor purchasing on the day before the ex-div-date receive the dividend? If so, may he sell on the ex-div-date, which is the following day, and still receive the dividend?

Lastly, is there any effect of the ex-div date on the price of the stock?

What I'm thinking is that if it climbs high and you think that it might start to fall, you can sell it and get some money. Is this right? Am I missing something?
So if you sell a stock, what do you get? The closing trade amount times how many stocks you own??

I'll use Rockwell Automation (ROK) as an example for my question. Their last trade was $63.49. This means that's how much someone just bought one share for right? The dividend is 1.16 which means that if I only own 1 share of Rockwell Automation, I will get $1.16 next quarter when they announce their profit or whatever? I'm completely new to this and I need to follow 3 companies for a business project in college. So, I have a lot of questions I'm sure. Thanks for your help!
