RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:Noted: X Dividend is Friday September 13thDecades ago, I worked at a place with a 50% discount for employee purchases if you signed up for payroll deduction. Up to 10% of salary they matched whatever I bought. If I bought $10,000 they matched. Sounds great IF you can afford it ( I could ), and IF you can afford to save for the tax bill. The beauty of the payroll deduction plan is the taxable benefit is also withheld from each paycheque. So my 10k became 20k, but it cost me 15k from my paycheque after taxes and my acb going forward was 20k. Still, a good deal, but not as spectacular as a 50% discount sounds. So 30% is really only 15% after tax if you are at 50% marginal tax rate, rounded. Also very good. IIIIFFFF the stock goes up !!! This recent insider buying isn't just "getting the benefit". It's a vote of confidence the divy won't be cut AND the stock is solid.
