    Lottery linked bank account?

    No matter where I look online, I ONLY find premium bonds from the UK. Despite the fact that they supposedly exist in other countries, issued by governments, banks and local authorities such as states, I have been unable to find any other than UK bonds, Swedish bonds and Belgium bonds. Where is...

How do they buy the shares and pass them over to a client? How does the share transaction/change of hands...

    Premium bonds? Who issues them???

    So far I know that the Belgium national bank issues premium based bonds/lottery bonds from here: http://www.debtagency.be/fr_products_lottery.htm but they expire in 2013 and it doesnt look like more bonds will be issued.

    Does a stock have to be registered to be traded?

    Yes but deregistration does not have to mean that there is something wrong with the company. Since SEC are natzi about their requirements for reporting one can imagine a company could be "forgetting" some of the stuff they have to report. Of course it does show in general that the company has...

    Does a stock have to be registered to be traded?

    I was just wondering if a stock needs to have a stock symbol to be traded. Since dark pools are "the place" to trade (please see here for what they are: http://www.marketwatch.com/story/the-secret-stock-market-upstart-systems-rewrite-rules-of-trading) then does the company that issues a stock...

    Leasing of financial instruments?

    Well to simplify it: Instead of buying a share in a company, I am leasing the share, and I am getting the dividend on it (or whatever special rights the share would give me). But what I am looking for is probably a purchase-hire, more like a monthly lease price I have to pay in order to...

    Leasing of financial instruments?

    Is there a way to trade financial instruments (whatever instrument it may be) on a lease basis - and accordingly receive a premium back? Either fixed or flexible, or even "maybe receive" a premium back on a financial instrument? I have thought about this method as a diverse way of investment...
