I want to find stocks that remuneration Qualified dividends one and only! I can not find this information on the internet.?
I tried financial newsletters, my broker, everything I could think of. Information on which companies submit qualified dividends (rather than ordinary dividends) are impossible to find. If you can find the info you're better inter-netter than me.Thanks!
Answers: The push for you received about preferred dividends is excellent. The intertwine you were given will relate you which are qualified and which are not.
In general adjectives stock dividends are qualified except for REIT and Limited parterships. Those are the only two instances I know of. Some REIT dividends are considered return of possessions and are not taxed when distributed. Instead they decline your cost basis.
Dividends from persuaded foreign stocks are not qualified. I honestly do not know which are and which are not.
Some mutual fund dividends are qualified and some are not depending on the holding period of the fund and depending on the stocks and and bonds the fund holds that pays dividends.
I am surprised your broker could not report you. Probably too busy counting his commissions.
For most US company individual stocks, whether a dividend is "qualified" depends on how long you own the stock, not anything the company does, which might be why you can't find anything.
Based on my sensitive, in demand for a dividend to be qualified, you must own the stock for more than 60 days of the 120 day time of year beginning 60 days up to that time the ex-dividend date. If you do that, most US company's dividends will be qualified.
The Motley Fool has an article explaining "qualified" dividends at http://www.fool.com/personal-finance/tax...
Dave give you a good answer and I'll append that most REIT dividends aren't qualified regardless of length of time owned. There are also pref'd stocks (which are really bonds) that pay out qualified dividends. You can find adjectives you need to know around pref'ds at:

The other thing is that you really shouldn't verbs too much about the lower rate of qualified dividends unless you're Taxable Income puts you into the 25% duty bracket. which you can look up here:
http://www.irs.gov/formspubs/article/0,,...
Taxable Income is after standard deductions and such and on smudge 43 of the 1040 form.
Dave W is correct about the 60 light of day IRS tax rule, & is correct that the best means of access to approach this issue is to assume the div. is qualified, unless you can find a reason why it isn't.
What are some of these exceptions?
Any company that doesn't pay envelope significant corp. taxes is a suspect. I own some American Capital Strategies (ACAS) which is organized as a RIC or Regulated Investment Company which is the same shop as a mutual fund.
Under these rules, if the company pays out more than 92% of annual income as dividends, then the company pays no corp. export tax. But these divs. are NOT qualified. You pay the full excise.
I also own some Energy Transfer Partners (ETP) which is organized as a Master Limited Partnership or MLP. As a shareholder I am essentially a corp. partner & again the div. payout is in the list of 90% & there are no corp. taxes (I think). I come up with I pay the full toll, except I own it only contained by an tax free IRA.
I also looked at Genesis Lease (GLS) which operate in Ireland & is organized as a PFIC. It is also a glorious div. company, but I didn't get into the toll details. I'm pretty sure it is not qualified.
Non-US companies usually have a div. withholding charge (sometimes 15%) that you can usually declare as a due deduction on your due return. Except for stocks in an IRA, near is no tax return, so the withholding export tax is just lost.
It is difficult to find this info., though those companies that are not qualified usually own good rates info on their web sites. The worst difficulty is finding international withholding tariff and US tax treaty info. Canada & France are 15% & you can subtract it. Italy?? I couldn't figure Italy out.
Is Rio Tinto plc (RTP) a good buy under $400 a share?
Answers: Yes, it also has support from its 52 week ma.
In early November the stock has jumped up vigorously probably as a result of news and there was a gap between $380 and $400, plot 90day chart to see it. A gap like this one can well serve as a support. If tomorrow turns out to be a good day (as I hope so) this stock is poised for a rebound.
Volume is not that bad -- average of 250k a day, but 52 week momentum is very strong. Go for it!
Also mining sector is bottoming out (IMN,FM, PDN,IVN,...) It is time for them to go up.
Investing in any single stock is a bad idea. How would anyone know what it will do? How can you diversify and insulate yourself from risk?
Instead, invest in quality mutual funds with long-term proven track record. To get the best results, invest a set amount regularly and take advantage of dollar-cost-averaging.
No buy, sell or hold recommendations.
This stock has low volume. I probably could find better candidates for less than $400 per share.
Thanks for asking your Q! I enjoyed answering it!

Yes, that is my real last name!
I love this stock! Buffett bailed on it long ago due to valuation but it's done fine since then. I've done fine with it since then. This is my opinion, 'It's been to $480 before and I believe it will hit it again. In the mean time I'm keeping a $86+ swing on the upside in my memory Banks.
Any more unpromising communication for the stock marketplace?
well stock flea market was going fine today til tht stupid bloomberg report...so is it adjectives over or there is possibly more impossible news departed?Answers: I can relate to your pain. It is tough watching the flea market go down. You really can't focus on the short permanent status, investing in stocks is for the long possession - if you are in it for the short permanent status you are gambling not investing. Please rebuff the "experts" they are like the sports experts that analyze the squad, their record doing a tour etc and then predict who will win. Lots of logic but they are lucky to pick the sensation even without the spread. The same near the markets, lots of experts next to charts and back carrying out tests etc and they don't know.
probably plenty more to come. but the rally should start a week past the feds next congress (which is the end of the month).
I suppose there will be some sort of updraft tomorrow too.
