Do founder's shares of stock have restricted dividends for a specified amount of time?

Depends on how the founder classifies the shares.  Some do some don't but usually founders share carry voting power instead of dividends.  For example Google's founders control maybe 10% of the company by number of shares but their shares represent nearly 80% of the voting power.\n\nRival

Without any additional details, one has to assume there are at least 2 series of preferred shares, one paying 5% on par value, which may presently be yielding more or less than 5% depending on whether mkt price of pfd is less than or greater than par ... and the redeemable,  which the company can redeem at par upon a fixed date.\n\nBe careful with the latter, though.  If share is presently trading above par value and redemption date is soon or has already passed, company has right to redeem at par.  Example:  share presently @ 28,50, retraction date coming up soon.  Depending upon interest rates, co might decide to redeem at par which, in this hypothetical example, could be 25.00.  A bad trip.\n\nHow to find out?  Ask the company for details.  Full-service brokers usually have elaborate schedules of preferred shares indicating maturity, redemption, extension & retraction dates.  Unfortunately, these days, some of these schedules are not so elaborate & some leave out important dates, ie the schedule is useless.\n\nThat's why it's best to ask the company.  If all else fails, the prospectus issued at the time of the redeemable preferred share issue will spell out all these details.  You'd find it on EDGAR.  It's a slog to read, though.

I'm not aware of any limits.  You can buy or sell as many as you want.  In some developed markets if you buy more than approx 30% of the stock you can be forced to make an offer for the remaining 70%.

I know this is not much of an answer, but I also noticed some of the financial data like dividend per share is wrong (well, out of date)

Apparently not.  \n\nAll I can say, is that I don't have a "demat" account, whatever that is, but buying shares is not a problem.

There is not enough information in your question to determine what it is you are trying to find out.\n\nDo you mean to get your $30 back? If it is a dividend of $3 once a year then you would get your money back after ten years.

Typically companies distribute their dividends quarterly.  Their is a date of record when the board of directors announces that the will pay a divident.  Then there is a payment date of the dividend which is usually posted with the date of record in the Wall Street Journal.  That is when the company pays its dividend.  It could be 45 days or more from the date of record.  If you have any questions about the stocks that you own you could call the investor relations people and they should give you a better idea of when and how much you should be receiving.

Securities Act of 1932 makes this kind of deal complicated, if impossible. If your looking for small companies that are owned predominantly by the founder, you may look for some "pink sheet" stocks.  Sometimes they're called over the counter, but that term can be used for NASDAQ stocks.  Watch yourself on the pink sheets since they are not even nearly as monitored as the exchange traded securities since they're not required to comply with things like FASBI.\n  Some big foreign companies trade on pink sheets, like Volkswagon, so they're not all bad.\n\nGood Luck and Be Careful....

It means that upon your demand, the company has 45 days in which to include the shares issuable upon exercise of your warrant in a registration statement - which enables you to sell the shares (if you want to). It's fairly common for there to be a penalty if the company is unable to file a registration statement within the specified time period.\n\nIssuing new shares would be dilutive; but, the shares that were issuable should have been factored into diluted EPS\n\nTo exercise the warrant, there should be a form to exercise. If you don't have it, contact the company's investor relations department

If you buy a stock on or after the ex-dividend date but before the record date the person you bought the stock from gets the dividend. \n\nSome traders use this as an opportunity (as price usually drops on ex-dividend date depending upon dividend size and market demand) to buy into a bullish stock.

SEC Rule 144 - Selling Restricted and Control Securities \nForms 3, 4, 5 - Statement of ownership.\n\nBasically, if anyone owns more than 10% of a company, it must be disclosed to the SEC and to other investors. This is easy to find on Yahoo Finance. Simply go to the "Major Owner" link for a company. See link

There was 1000 shares available for sale when you entered the ordered and that amount was filled.  15 min. later 1100 more became available.   There has to be a seller willing to sell for you to purchase.  This is especially true on orders placed at a particular price but it also happens on market orders.  A portion of the order will be filled at a particular price and other portions at other prices.

Technically, I don't recall hearing about a time limit to go public. There are two types of public offerings. Normally a company will make an IPO, which is an Initial Public Offering. This is usually done with a limit number of investors and offered semi-privately through channels other than brokerage houses or underwriters. It isn't necessary to make an IPO first, but could help boast your stock once it is offered to the general public. Later, a company may make what most people would consider a public offering which will be offered to the general public. These stocks will be offered OTC or Over the Counter. In other words, they won't be offered on any stock exchange. There are many regulations which must be followed to make a public offering of stock. Getting on one of the major stock exchanges can takes time. I don't recall how long off hand, but there is a minimum amount of time a company needs to be in business before they can be listed on the the NYSE or AMEX, for instance. Being listed on one of the stock exchanges has nothing to do with being a public company. You can be public without being listed. A company should know when they will be going public. There are many hoops to jump through when you go public.

It's a bit unclear how your father came by the stock.  Assuming he retired from the RR and wants to liquidate his shares than simply call the RR retirement plan custodian and ask them to liquidate and distribute proceeds.  They may not want to do that and you'll have to roll the shares into a Discount Brokerage House IRA prior to selling and taking a distribution.  \n\nIf you father came by the shares through consultinig or being employed--special incentive than they may/might be restricted and you'd have to check with the RR's Treasurer to find out what those restrictions are/may be prior to liquidating.  Regardless, be aware of the tax consequences of a sale.

No, as long as you don't sell, there is not a taxable moment.  So, you won't have to pay tax on any gains on your stockes until you actually sell them (or transfer them to another person).

Not sure I understand the question.  If you want to change your shares owned, then buy more or sell some depending on the current price.
