If your shares are held by another holding company, the dividend would flow though to that company.If you want the income to be taxed in your hands, dispense with the holding company and have the dividends flow to you.

We just purchased our first rental property and purchased a new refrigerator with an ice/water dispenser because I mistook an old gas line on the opposite side of the refrigerator as a water line.

What is allowed in some circumstances is a waiver allowing a dispensation for a period of time allowing the property owner to to bring the property into compliance.

There is no patent for EnviroTabs, although there is one for EnviroTab (which actually has to do with dispensing beer).Here's the full sentence in the patent where "envirotab" is mentioned, "FIG. 34 is a perspective view of a dispensing means which comprises a main pouring port (1), subsidiary pouring port (2), and air intake port (11') (each shown by a dotted line) made directly on a metal container.

BP continues to amaze me at the amount of information people are willing to dispense at my favorite price (free)!

I am really impressed with the helpful advice dispensed here.Look forward to working with ya'll.

Having been on both sides of billion-dollar M&A deals, my experience is that when a company like Google makes a major purchase, the decision on whether to use cash or stock (or a combination of the two) generally has very little to do with macro-economics and more to do with the financial position of the company, the specific incentives the company wants to provide to the company they are acquiring, and the goals of the investment.Having too much cash on-hand can be a major liability to a company; while there are a number of reasons for this, by far the biggest is that it sends a message to wall street and to shareholders that the company doesn't have a viable investment outlet for the cash, and therefore doesn't have a solid and cohesive growth plan.Microsoft epitomized this back in 2004 when they were sitting on $60B in cash and ended up issuing a huge one-time dividend ($3 per share @ 10B shares) to dispense of half of that cash.Long-story-short, don't read too much into the fact that a company with a lot of cash chooses to spend it on M&A, versus issuing stock (borrowing money is rarely an option for companies with a large cash position).

I have been, for the past week, soaking up the knowledge that the gurus here have been graciously dispensing for free on these forums.

A lot of times, these people will dispense advice for nothing and may even jump in and put a deal together that allows you to fade into the background...and break you off a fee...under a "gentleman's agreement."
