I don’t understand this. Why would the guy who founds a company float it on the stock market? Surely if he was the sole owner then he would keep all the profits, but when you list on stock market the shareholders own it? Or does the original owner still make a fortune?
That’s what i have nevr understood, why the likes of dell, and mocrosoft which are making billions in profit would want to list on the stock market.

Is it because the original owners (michael dell, and bill gates) still own 51% so 51% of profits go to them?

I have kept bank and mutual fund statements for years. I would like to throw them away if not needed. I have some mutual funds I purchased 15 years ago with dividand invested. In order to calculate the cost basis of the fund when I sell the shares, I think I need to keep records of the cost of share when the dividend was used to purchase additional share. Many of the large Mutual Fund companies have started capturing the cost basis for shareholders in the last 10 years so they calculate the cost basis for you. Some of the smaller mutual funds companies do not have this type of service. Any advice is helpful.

For the bank statement, after I reconcile the checks, do I need to keep them for any reasons?

I see this:

Company X declared a quarterly dividend of .85 per share, payable Oct. 31 to shareholders of record on Sept. 29.

Does that mean I only need to buy the stock on that date to receive the dividend? Can I sell it the next day? How long do I need to hold the stock? Do I need to own it before the declared date? I just want to know of all the people and buy and sell the stock, how do they determine who gets the dividend?

Dividends in a mutual funds/ETF are distribute to the shareholders or back to the funds?

Do we get to invest the dividends or the dividends are automatically reinvested in to the funds, hence you own more shares of the funds? Lastly, I was told I should invest tax inefficient funds into my IRA rather than tax efficient funds. Can someone give me some comparisons?
