hi everyone this is chris markowski
president markowski investments and host
of the nationally syndicated watchdog on
wall street radio show well
you know if you're lucky enough well how
lucky is it if grandma asked you to go
clean out the attic well let's say
grandma does ask you to go clean out the
attic
and you have to be shifting around in
various different boxes and
rather than find a stack of old comics
or records
you find a stack of stock certificates
you bring them down you ask grandma gee
what are these where'd they come from
i forgot i had those up there wow you
hit the mother lode she gives them to
you
what do you do well you want to
obviously find out
what they're worth i got some stock
certificates too one time they were
absolutely worthless you can go to your
local bank find out what the situation
is with each and every company out there
if they're old there's also the
possibility of some of the companies
that actually split
which means you'll be actually entitled
into more certificates but you have to
understand as well
if grandma gave those to you okay and
you decide to stick them into account
you decide to
sell them you're going to have to pay
taxes uncle sam is going to come
