I have a few mutual funds with fidelity which distribute dividends once a year. By default all the dividends are reinvested back into the funds. I would rather have the dividends in cash so I can invest into different funds. Is there any tax benefits to having the dividends reinvested instead of just taking the dividend in cash?

Thanks

So I own stock and mine doesn’t pay a dividend, but i am thinking about cashing in my current stock and put my money in some stock with a high dividend yield. I was just wondering if there is a certain time length that you must keep your money in that particular dividend stock to qualify for the dividends, or if the company starts paying you the first quarter that you own the stock…

I know that the differences between common stock and preferred stock is that there are no voting rights with preferred stock and that they get dividends paid to them before common stock owners.

However, not all companies must pay dividends, so then what is the advantage?

How does a mutual fund decide how much it will pay out in dividends at the end of the year? Is it based on a percentage of the value gained during the year? Could someone give me a general idea if nothing else?

I am stuck using the accounting equation…

When you pay rent it decreases cash but does it decrease capital stock or retained earnings?

If you receive cash for fees earned, it increases cash but does it increase capital stock or retained earnings?

If you pay salaries does it decrease retained earnings or capital stock?

If you pay dividends it decreases cash but what else?

If you pay interest what does it decrease?

These are questions in the book that it says I should know how to do but I don’t. If you feel that you don’t want to give me the answers, than just tell me how? PLEASE, THANKS.

I understand that buying low and selling high generates profit. How else would you make money with Index Funds? through receiving dividends nd reinvesting them? and when we say an index fund has a 10% return over 10 years, is that interest? would you get a check for it?

Basic question, but I just don’t understand how else to make money through an index fund apart from buying low and selling high…

I am mad that I spent so much $ on Class A mutual funds and want to dump my brokerage firm and start investing the smart way. I have read that equity index funds and no-load mutual funds are the way to go, but I have no idea where to go or which funds to buy. I just want to put my money away in aggressive investments and let the money sit there and reinvest the dividends. I don’t want to buy and sell stocks – I would rather put it in diversified funds and just let it grow. I have 30 years to retirement so I want to be as aggressive as possible. Seems like if I ask a financial "expert," they just want to sell you their own products. Is anyone out there a financial expert who can give me objective advice??? HELP! I have a couple of IRAs and about 0K in mutual funds right now. Thank you!!!

Am I correct that you do not really compound your money when you buy stocks since your money doesn’t get re-invested yearly? My 10,000 will only increase in value in 10 years if the price of the stock goes up and not because my 10,000 gets compounded annually (unless the company offers dividends which I could re-invest yearly).

If not stocks, then what other investment vehicles takes advantage of compounded interest? Money market and bonds?

I really screwed up and have over ,000 in investment losses this year! Our gross income from salaries for this year will only be around ,000.

In addition, I lost 00 in my Roth IRA. I just read that I can only deduct ,000 in investment losses. Does that include IRAs PLUS regular investment activities?

Also, will any interest I accrue via CDs or dividends from stocks or mutual funds essentially be tax-free now since I have such a large investment loss? Or is that a different category?

Please help, I really screwed up this year and am hoping somebody has some suggestions to make this better. Thanks in advance!
