Beware of structured products

May not truly understand structure.

Ultimately cannot listen completely to any advisors, must listen to oneself and really put one's eggs (human?) in many baskets (shouldbe, rare situation when this is encouraged?).

Cashflow (into our or out of ur pocket)

Try play-play first with Walton's International's :

Charity first as money go money come but values remain
Childbirth (of Males and/or Females by Fe but ne'er Males?)
Incidents to account for, eg
"recess-time"
property plunge but no need to plunge from property (values, personal, remain)
provision for rainy days
sickness from food-poisoning, etc.

Dividend Yield :

Capital reduction

Companies do that when writing off losses. Or they return "money" to shareholders, by using part of their reserves, to better manage capital.

So, depending on the circumstances, shareholders can decide whether it benefits or adversely affects them.

Warrants

Warrants you to buy shares or sell at a pre-determined price, just like buying your essential before a drastic spike in price or sell your second-hand before no one wants it

Consult ur own brokerage : Trying to contra to the maximum time limit possible but here's a guide

Answer to Questions below :

If you wish to contra,
but cannot do it by T+3,
it is possible to stretch another 2 days,
ie, max D+2 or same as T+5.

Note a contra is about the same stock.
Buy, sell are separate contracts,
so the two cannot be amalgamated.
But if by D+2 you still have not contra'd,
you must pay for the shares by eps on D+2.
If brokerage fails to receive the funds on time,
shares will be force-sold.

Hence, if you have not paid for the shares by D+2,
you cannot sell it yourself the next day
(from D+3 as it will become a short sell)
since the company would do the force sell for you.

Try to avoid going into D+2
as any problems will result in force selling.

Question :

Is contra still applicable longer than T+2 days,
ie after that, or more than T+3 days?
or even just before action by brokerage,
ie due date stretched to max.
