Carnival Corp Dividend Increase

[MicCanberra]

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

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.

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.

Yes, it has been one of the few benefits of our falling dollar for us travelers.:D

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:

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Sooner or later for a regular IRA the assets have to be withdrawn and will be taxed at full normal tax rates.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.
