AFT_LOVER Posted December 14, 2006 Author #4 Share Posted December 14, 2006 who gave us a $100 Christmas present & last year Microsoft gave us $600. SO keep those OBC coming as I cannot see stockholders turning it down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Merion_Mom Posted December 14, 2006 #7 Share Posted December 14, 2006 And they are hardly "gifts". Companies pay out dividends as a function of their business plan. RCI's is only a 1.5% payout, so it's not exactly generous. In the scheme of things, that's a low dividend. Of course, I also was fortunate to buy it very cheaply (not quite as good as captain bob's situation, but close), and have gotten a MUCH better return with the OBC as a stockholder. The dividend is just a little cherry on the top. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Big Booper Posted December 15, 2006 #8 Share Posted December 15, 2006 Does the stock have to be held an a general investment account or can it also be held in an IRA? My accountant (who is me) told me to hold all investments in tax-sheltered accounts.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RodPat Posted December 15, 2006 #9 Share Posted December 15, 2006 Does the stock have to be held an a general investment account or can it also be held in an IRA? My accountant (who is me) told me to hold all investments in tax-sheltered accounts.:) We have our shares in our Keogh Acct. and that is all I have to do is fax the proof of ownership of 100 shares. This year coming we will get $800 in shipboard credits. Now that is a nice tax free return. Pat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

springtxbill Posted December 15, 2006 #13 Share Posted December 15, 2006 I agree the OBC is a whole lot better than the dividend and is even tax free.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
