I own some shell stock rdsb. i've had for a few years haven't paid much attention to it, was waiting for it to rebound. Anyways, it 2015, i was paid some dividends at least a couple times but haven't received any since. Did they stop the dividend program?

Any thoughts as to the future of Shell maybe over the next year? Stay put on it?

Dividends have not stopped. Last dividend announcement date was a few days ago to be paid out in late December

Same happened to me. You are getting the dividend in the form of cash now. Shell is issuing shares as their divvy and my platform, Fidelity, won't convert it to B shares so it sells the A shares and gives me equivalent dollars into my account

yeah, took a 30 minute phone call for vanguard to properly explain and figure it out. I had recently sold my A shares. I was getting paid shares of A stock as well as started receiving dividends of my A stocks accumulated. So looks to be that i'll start building up my A share portfolio again slowly. Shell seems like a decent dividend stock to hold onto, not sure to go long with it or what. I'm a little bit in the green with not, not much. in 2015 i was receiving B dividends but like you said it switched then.
