Stocks that are my dividend giants like ETP, T, MSFT, and D I keep in a Roth for those reasons. Xom has been more of a trade and not an investment lately and it's been in regular accts.
And yes whether you take cash or reinvest dividends the dollar value is taxable in the year it received regardless of whether you sell the stock or not.

Not to hijack, but JP1LSU's comment made me think of this.
Most would probably agree that the majority of investors share the goal of diversification. However, because of annual contribution limits in a Roth, wouldn't it make sense to limit the number of individual stock's in said Roth? eg. if you held 30 stocks in a Roth, you would be very limited to how much you could contribute to each position each year ($5,500 total).
ergo, the question at hand - is there an appropriate or broad-stroke rule of thumb regarding the number of positions that "should" be held in a Roth before one starts using alternative vehicles like a SEP or cash account?
