I guess what I’d like to know is, what weight is the card stock used in Hallmark or American Greeting cards? I’ve purchased some packages labeled card stock and they are barely heavier than 24 pound typing paper. I’d like something heavier. Thanks for your help!

an old Priestess asked:


If I understand it correctly, a company issues stock and
sells it to raise capitol. Once they have sold the stock to
the public, and been paid for it, why should any changes
to the price of the stock matter to them anymore ?

In other words, how could it harm a company if people
sell off the stock and the value of it declines a lot ?

What’s the difference between “restricted stock” and “stock options” from accounting perspective?

Thursday, February 18th, 2010
qpot asked:


A quick search on “stock options” shows that many companies are switching from “stock options” to “restricted stocks” as an employee compansation vechicle.

Below is what I learned from my research. It could be wrong though.

The sales of “stock options” are usually reported as loss. It reduces the company’s tax liability, but also adversely affects the company’s profit. From 2006, most companies are required to disclose the impact of the “stock options” sales to the public.

My questions,

When a company issues “restricted stocks” and the employee sells them, is the proceeding counted as “loss” like “stock options”?

Why companies don’t switch until recently? Does it have anything do to with the new SEC reporting requirement?

Thanks,

Neonzeus asked:


Assume 100 shares of stock, purchased for $1 share many years ago. This stock is now worth $10 share.

I understand that the stock will be listed as an asset, but should it be listed as an asset at its actual value, or its value less the taxes that will be payable when its liquidated to pay for nursing home care?
