I have a question on stocks....when you buy......?

Question

How long does it take for you to get your money? Also, what is the amount that I would have to claim?

Answer 1

When you buy into a company, you are a partial owner. However, unless you buy a controlling interest, you have very little say over how the company is managed.

The management determines each year, how much money it will need for the following year. If it determines that it has made more money than it can reinvest, it will recommend the Board of Directors declare a dividend, or a return of money to shareholders. Some companies have never declared a dividend and some have done so for over one hundred years.

You have no explicit "claim," except what your management will give to you. They will let the Board, which represents your interests, know how much they think is available. The Board oversees management and may disagree.

In the United States, there is a preference for dividend "sustainability," so if there is extra money this year, but it is doubted that the pattern will continue, they will keep the money for future years.

You may sell the stock in the future and get what others believe it is worth. If you really know what you are doing you can make a lot of money doing this. If you do not, you can lose a lot of money.

I would recommend going to Edward Jones, a very good broker with lots of internal oversight.

Answer 2

Q:How long does it take for you to get your money?
A:When you sell a stock in your non-IRA account you can buy another stock immediately without going into margin, even though the money takes 3 days to physically arrive into your account.

In an IRA, the rules are a little different. You must wait for the money to show up before you can purchase another stock or fund.

Q:Also, what is the amount that I would have to claim?
A: The amount you need to claim is the profit (if there was one) but only for a non-IRA account. If the stock was held for less than a year you will pay taxes at what ever rate you are taxed at. If held >1 year, you would be taxed at a lower rate (about 20%) for long term gains. But be sure to consult with your tax preparer on this.

If you have a loss, then the maximum net loss per year you can claim is $3000 per year. If you have more than a $3000 loss in one year, the balance can be carried over to the next year, up to $3000; or to offset gains.

Answer 3

It used to be a full seven days, because so much was done on paper and dependant upon the mail. Today, the standard clearing in most places is three days to finalize a trade. Besides, when you buy, you give someone else your money, right? The daytraders have a slightly different arrangement, usually requiring special requirements and lots of cash to cover--not everyone who trades stocks need concern themselves, especially you, so just figure about three business days (not weekends or holidays) but your broker will be the authority on the rules that apply to your class of accounts.

Answer 4

You don't get any money until you sell the stock. Then it is usually 3 business days until it goes back into your account. If you wish to reinvest it, you often can do it immediately. Otherwise, you have to wait a few days.

Answer 5

1) You can sell your stocks a second later or a decade later.
2) The current price for that particular stock.
