VLT: When a stock pays a cash dividend, I let it accumulate in my brokerage account until the end of the month, when I add additional funds. I then invest the amount in what I consider to be a good buy at that time based on the stocks fair value and my asset allocation needs.

D4L–thank you–hope you do not mind a follow up–what I meant was if you take a stock like GE from your holdings–when you get the distribution of a dividend–do you take it as cash or shares?

VLT: I don’t use DRIPs or other automatic reinvestment plans because the company paying the dividend may not be the best investment when the dividend is paid.

Best Wishes,

I have a question regarding reinvesting dividends–do you recommend reinvesting the dividends (DRIP) to automatically buy more shares and dollar cost average or taking the dividend as a cash distribution and then investing in anything you like?

Thanks

Fathersez: This is a path I would rather not go down. Once the government gets into your business, you never get them out.

My country is famous for its subsidies, a policy which has been soundly criticized by the World Bank, the IMF etc. And also by a number of our own citizens.

One of the most memorable terms have been “keep spoonfeeding and soon the only thing they remember is the shape of the spoon”.

Just food for thought.

BAC eat more than it could digest. And I would wait for some more time before giving passing grades to WFC.

Jae: I agree that WFC is not in the same condition as BAC. My only concern as a dividend investor are the stipulations put on companies participating in the TARP program.
