Hi,

For part 2, I only ticked:

9a. The beneficial owner is a resident of _________ within the meaning of the income tax treaty between the United States and that country.

The blank above I put Malaysia. The rest i left it blank. If you're Australian I'm not sure if your country has a tax treaty with the US.

Currently only 30% of dividends are retained, capital gains are not taxed!

I applied on 4th June 08 with TD Ameritrade, account approved on 18th June 08, 2 weeks exactly! Also, gave them a call a week after i applied to check if they've received all the docs. Not sure if it's a factor, but I have a US account, so it might have been quicker.

btw, does anyone know what to do with the form 1042-S?

i received one from TD Ameritrade and I'm not sure what's the next step? Do i have to file any taxes or what?

i thought there's a plan for the reverse split which is why the volume's down on C? Alot of ppl seem to think 2.50 is the fair price?

just to share, now looking at OREX - came out with obesity drug Contrave (passed 3 clinical trials recently), looking to be a potential takeover target by bigger pharmas, also heavy insider accumulation currently.

also looking at FEED, China's version of Cargill; JASO - China solar cell maker which has long-term contract with BP Solar; HERO - drilling rig operator and APWR, China's version of GE.

what's your view on C? Especially on the reverse split issue that management has been talking about for ages...
