- ojbrien 10y agoYeah but as capital gains I believe, whereas a cash dividend is taxed as income (Income is taxed at a much higher rate than capital gains)
- harryh 10y agoIf you have held the stock long enough then dividends can be taxes at the cap gains rate. This is what a "qualified" dividend is. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qualified_dividend https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qualified_dividend
