Anyone where deal with shares?
It's something I would like to get into, just trying to get my head around all the technical terms.
For example, dividends https://www.nzx.com/markets/NZSX/securities/AIA/dividends (https://www.nzx.com/markets/NZSX/securities/AIA/dividends)
What do the terms Supp. and Imputation refer to?
And what do they mean by Final and Interim?
Say, for example, I had 1000 shares, how would I work out how much money I get in the above case?

Final/Interim probably refers to whether or not the dividend has been approved (by the board or relevant authority).
EDIT: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dividend_imputation (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dividend_imputation)
New Zealand introduced a dividend imputation system in 1989. It operates on similar principles to the Australian system. A shareholder receiving a dividend from a company is entitled to an "imputation credit", which represents tax paid by the company, and is used to reduce or eliminate the shareholder's income tax liability.[2]
