"PepsiCo, Inc. was founded in 1965 through the merger of Pepsi-Cola and Frito-Lay."\n\nSince the certificate was not turned in for reissue at any point after this merger, the company turned it over to the state as unclaimed property. You need to contact the state and find out the procedure for getting it back. You should be entitled to getting the shares back which you could then send to the stock transfer agent for issuing in the new shares with accrued dividends.

Check the secretary of state's website for wahtever state you think it was in.  Many of them maintain databases on corporate filings online now.   I've done this for other companies and it works fairly well, assuming you know either a.) what state they were incorporated in, or b.) in which state they had their principle place of business.

If you go to this link:\nhttp://www.ibm.com/investor/services/index.phtml  You might be able to begin to find the information you are looking for.\n\nThe transfer agent keeps record of all the shares bought and sold.  Because there have been a few stock splits since 1981, they will have record of the total number of shares you own.

If it was 30 yrs ago..you may be out of luck....the bank that had it may have turned over to the state and the state would have held it for a determined time...if there is no claim the money goes to the general fund.

Not hard. You dissolve the Corp., which will entail convening the officers. Sell off or distribute all assets between all shareholders.Have a lawyer bless the proceedings. Make sure Secy. documents everything.Have lawyer keep copy. File a copy of this to Tx. Secy. of State (same address you incorporated with).Go to County. File business name. Start over.

I can't answer this specifically for those companies, but what generally happens is that your stock is converted to stock in the new company, at a rate specified by the takeover company. (1 share in the new company for every 2 shares owned in the target company, for example)  You should receive a letter soon, explaining what has happened.

See, there are lots of issues which determine the taxability of capital gains under I T Act1961 .You have not given complete detail.\n    Presuming , its a residential property, then first the compuation has to be done by taking the Indexation method . Find out the date of purchase of the residential property and cost as on that date. If it was purchased before 1984, then market value as on 1.4.1984 has to be taken as cost and then indexation has to be applied.\n    This way, capital gains has to be computed. If there is capital gain is there, you have following option\n   1. Purchase /construct a residential house within two years of the amount equal to long term capital gain.\n   2.

Under 5EC of the I T Act, there are capital assets in which if capital gains are invested for at least  three years, then the capital gain is exempt from taxation.\n\nHope your

If this is a corporation stock, it will indicate which state that it is in. In most cases, you can contact your state's Secretary of State's office to learn if that company is still in business, and what has happened to that company over the years.   \n\nIt might take a bit of work to find any value.  Even if it went BUST a long time ago, the story will go well as a family heirloom.   Write the story and keep it with the stock certificates.

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....

When selling a stock you can repurchase the same stock almost instantly.  However, for tax purposes, in order to recognize a gain or loss you can't buy the stock for 30 days after you sell it.  For example, if you see that ABC company stock has a $1000 loss and it is Dec. in order for you to claim the stock as a $1000 loss you can sell it before the end of the month and you shouldn't buy it back for 30 days in order to claim the loss.

There is no "lookup" page, although you could scroll through the index changes pages (organised by years) to determine when it was added.\n\nOn the S&P page below, click the box marked 2006 and change it to a different year to try and locate the stock you're interested in.\n\nCheers,\nRichard.

Some companies do allow you to buy stock directly from them. They use Direct Purchase Plans (DPP) and a Dividend Reinvestment Plans (DRIP).

Not likely, and not from the state.  Since it costs the state to monitor and regulate corporations, you, the beneficiary have to pay a "formation" fee. (and anual license fees)\n   Your other course is to get someone to "gift it" to you.
