Question 1:  Is it true that a higher rate of return can be expected for
	   high-growth/low-dividend stocks than zero-growth/high-dividend
	   stocks?


Question 2:  Why do corporations pay dividends AND go into debt at the same
	   time?  Couldn't stockholder gains be maximized by withholding
	   dividends and not borrowing the same amount?


Question 3:  In picking stocks, is it important to find a company with about
	   the same rate (high in both cases) for growth in earnings and
	   growth in equity?

Question 4:  Why do stocks often split at such low prices?  Is this to 
	   stimulate buying by the small investor and buoy stock prices?
	   It seems like saving the additional commission would be worth
	   more to most stockholders.

Question 5:  How much did the value of AT&T stock increase because the 
	   stock was split into the parent and baby bells?

Question 6:  Has anyone had any dealings with Stock Cross brokers?
	   They charge $25 + $.08/share for any transaction.
	   Limit orders $10 extra.  Anyone know of anyone cheaper?

  Any answers will be appreciated.
