Will brazilian stock market get back to normal after the american economy crise?
Answers: It is likely that it will improve if the American economy rebounds; when the American market corrects, it takes many world markets along with it, historically, and especially those in South America.
Dividend put somebody through the mill?
I bought a stock for 20.37 that pays a dividend of .30. I just sold today for 21.05 Ex-date be jan 22. Record date is jan 24. I know i have to own the stock past the ex-date to get the dividend but do i own to keep it until after the transcription date to get the dividend?Answers: No. On or after the Ex-date the stock become ex dividend: existing holders of the stock will receive the dividend even if they now flog the stock, whereas anyone who now buys the stock very soon will not receive the dividend.
Shareholders who properly registered their ownership on or before the date of journal will receive the dividend.
You were registered previously the record date as a stockholder and sold after the Ex-date. Therefore, you will receive your dividend.
Answer above is right, but I'm simply wondering...was that HTE ?
Nice move if it be, but get final in soon and hold on for the share price increase that will come this spring..
( You might be capable of pull the divvy trade any more time before it really starts to move and you'll do better " holding".
What interest rate should I go for when purchasing a Certificate of Deposit?
Answers: Bankrate.com provides links to CD's with high interest rates as well as high interest rate banks. You can get 4.6% at Metropolitan.

You should also consider the Vanguard Prime Money Market Fund with a current compound yield of ~4.6% APR.

If you are in a high tax bracket you may prefer their tax exempt money market funds:

Sometimes other institutions will have a higher teaser rate, but Vanguard tends to have the highest yields I've found over the long run. (Vanguard money markets are not FDIC insured, however.)

ING and HSBC often have rates close to Vanguard, and most of their products are FDIC insured. You can check these at the following links:

If you are investing for a long period of time and are willing to accept some volatility, you should consider putting some money into no-load low-expense mutual funds. These are not guaranteed, but over the long run produce much higher returns.
Short term, 4-9 months will usually pay the highest, and depending on the bank a few points up or down.
Many are about 4.70% + -
Obviously the highest you can find.
You will likely see rates decline soon. The Federal Reserve cut the federal funds rate to 3.50% from 4.25%, meaning banks will likely lower the interest rates they are willing to pay as well. The rate really depends on how long you give the bank your money. Longer-term CD's pay higher interest rates, as they have your money for longer and must compensate you for such. It really depends on how much you have in liquid assets. If you have sufficient money in your checking account, and enough in a savings account for an emergency, you can probably get away with going for a longer-term CD, but if you do not have one of the above, you should go for some short-term CD's. This way, if you should need the money, you will have it shortly, without paying the penalty for early withdrawal. Just some thoughts, I hope they help.
Best of luck!
