And note that there's typically a commission for investing in a DRIP too. See: http://www.fairmark.com/capgain/basis/drip.htm<br /><br />Stock dividends, on the other hand, are usually tax-free, just like a stock split. See this link: http://www.wwwebtax.com/income/dividends.htm<br /><br />If you sell the dividend stock, you'll pay taxes though, but they could be at the same rate as qualified dividends (currently 15%) if it's a long-term holding.edpinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17074080596544230028noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3104840428657680638.post-32592864688917773462009-06-24T05:28:31.180-07:002009-06-24T05:28:31.180-07:00I very much disagree.
The cash dividend receiving ...I very much disagree.<br />The cash dividend receiving investor does have a choice. Its called a DRIP.<br />You can decide if you want your dividend paid in cash or with extra shares so in this case you have a choice. If the company pays in stock you have to take that and have no choice. <br />If the company offers stock and you want cash you then have to sell your shares and pay a broker commission fee to do so.<br /><br />I am pretty sure you still have to pay taxes on any dividends even if its in the form of stock. This last point I am not 100% sure about so could be wrong on that one.Rhianni32https://www.blogger.com/profile/07684054445555109519noreply@blogger.com
