Anyone care to explain the technical tax distinction between a normal dividend and a 'return on capital'. I get the point that the latter is not taxable, but I don't understand the accounting distinction. For example, if this system avoids tax, why don't (can't) other corporations use it? I assume the 'return on capital' distribution is paid in USD, so for those of use in Canada, it will grow significantly -- thanks to the low prices for commodities these days. Erie
