Royal Dutch Shell RDS.A RDS.B

[Robandcindy2]

Years ago I went through the debate over which RDS to hold. "Advisors" had said RDS.B for tax reasons. Then RDS started paying RDS.B dividends with RDS.A shares.

For simplicity I sold RDS.B and put RDS.A in our taxable account to recoup withheld taxes if any and to only hold one version of the company. Right or wrong it was working out just fine.

Now Shell has again changed their dividend policy. Most notably their scrips program as they raise their buy back program.

So now I'm going back to RDS.B after June 26th (??).

Here is a pretty good article on all of this:
