I don't think cities have the ability to regulate helicopters. Airspace is regulated by the FAA, which pre-empts the states from regulating them further. I remember reading an article about some city where helicopter noise had become a

Related: http://quora.com/Will-Hyperloop-One’s-Hyperloop-product-work... I think the deal breaker is the high speeds, which require a much straighter track and much larger turn radius (410ft for a train, ~4.6 mi. for HL). T

The ex-dividend date is an implementation flaw that makes the stock price discontinuous at the dividend date (I initially misunderstood this). However, in theory, a pro-rata dividend would be continuous.

The net present value takes into account the difference between payment today and payment tomorrow. The ex-dividend rate is an implementation flaw that makes the stock price discontinuous at the dividend date. If dividends were pro-rata it

When calculating the value of an annuity, all that matters is your number of periods, the amount, and your discount rate. This is why an annuity appreciation chart over time is continuous.

This is a strawman argument. Cash is not required to be re-invested to maintain current profitability.

The adjusted price reference you made is axiomatic. Adjusted prices simply subtract the dividend. It does not reflect market value. You'll notice the open on the day after the dividend, the stock actually went up $0.40 from the closing

Whether the company destroys the shares or retains them as treasury stock is irrelevant. Investors don't care if their share price went up by 10%, or if they effectively have 1.10 shares.

The market cap already reflects the value of all future earnings discounted to the present. The timing of dividend payments is irrelevant. If your argument was true, that a stock's price predictably fell the day after the dividend, inv

Market cap = shares outstanding * share price. Reducing shares increases the price (while keeping market cap the same). Share splits increases the shares outstanding and decreases the price. So... yes, shares outstanding does matter.

You're wrong. The market cap already had the cash priced into it, regardless of how it was used (as a dividend or re-invested). By your logic, a company whose profits remained flat and issued a dividend would become less valuable every

Investors buying more shares with dividends doesn't decrease the number of shares outstanding. If you increase the share price without decreasing the share count, you have created value out of thin air and are saying the company was mo

Another solution would be improvements to transportation. If we had something like Hyperloop, ET3, skyTran, etc., we could increase the radius we could live from work. It's traffic jams that drive up the value of land in the inner city

Expensing interest only saves you the total interest x interest rate. So they just get a 35% discount on their interest rate.

I think CloudFlare's security measures are insane. I use a VPN and I can tell which sites use CloudFlare because I consistently get a Error 520, where it claims the browser and CloudFlare are working, but the website is not responding.
