Dividend stripping or cum-ex trading can be used as a tax avoidance strategy,[1] enabling a company to distribute profits to its owners as a capital sum, instead of a dividend, which offers tax benefits if the effective tax rate on capital gains is lower than for dividends. For example, consider a company called ProfCo wishing to distribute D, with the help of a stripper company called StripperCo.

1. StripperCo buys ProfCo shares from their present owners for X+D.
2. ProfCo, now owned by StripperCo, declares a dividend of D, which is paid to StripperCo.
3. StripperCo sells its shares back to the owners for X.
The net effect for the owners is a capital gain of +D and a dividend distribution of -D. The net effect for StripperCo is nothing; the dividend it receives is income, and its loss on the share trading is a deduction. StripperCo might need to be in the business of share trading to get such a deduction (i.e. treating shares as merchandise instead of capital assets).

this is actually an interesting property of equity markets, and has measurable impacts. There's a similar trick where some investors pay lower taxes on dividends than others, leading to them preferentially holding the shares over dividend dates. You can measure how popular this is in a given market by looking at the price drop over the dividend date - if it equals the gross dividend, then tax avoidance is very prevelant, if it is closer to the net dividend (divident minus taxes), most participants are paying the taxes.

The expression "lady killer" originally described a man seducing numerous women. The comic book Lady Killer switches the word's meaning and uses it to designate a woman killing numerous people.

While the song contains no literal references to the Norton Commander file manager, it is speculated that the song's subject matter of comfort and familiarity relate to the familiarity and reliability of the software.[10]
