Rare MicCanberra Posted July 18, 2015 #51 Share Posted July 18, 2015 My grandfather taught me 50 years ago to invest in what you use. From our profile you can tell we use the product and have invested in the corporation. I treat the Shareholder Benefit as a non-taxable dividend and now I look forward to the taxable dividend increase. Good advice and I see it working well for you.:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare MicCanberra Posted July 18, 2015 #52 Share Posted July 18, 2015 We declare our dividends for tax purposes but the share holder benefit is just that.:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul929207 Posted July 18, 2015 Author #53 Share Posted July 18, 2015 We declare our dividends for tax purposes but the share holder benefit is just that.:D We are the same way. We pay taxes on the dividends received each year. The shareholder OBC is not taxable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
By The Bay Posted July 18, 2015 #54 Share Posted July 18, 2015 Well it's certainly been a good investment over the years however the lowest price I can find in 2013 was $31.81 on 10/10/13 today's close was $52.33...nice but it has not doubled in value. I purchased my 100 shares soon after subscribing to Cruise Critic and discovering all about the CCL share holding benefits. I paid USD$34.80 but as I reside in Australia and with the appreciation of the USD$ v's the AUD$, my shares are now worth AUD$69.80 each. The OBC is the main reason I purchased them, but the capital gain has been great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, it has been one of the few benefits of our falling dollar for us travelers.:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am afraid to look at what the value is in CAD.:eek: What I do know is that its going to be a very expensive winter in AZ.:eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Go-Bucks! Posted July 19, 2015 #57 Share Posted July 19, 2015 Unless it is a Roth IRA where the increase in stock value (if sold) and dividends will never be taxed, it is better to own the stock in a non-IRA account. Sooner or later for a regular IRA the assets have to be withdrawn and will be taxed at full normal tax rates. No reduced capital gains rate. No lower dividend tax rate. It's in a Roth.
