Is that better wording? Many (most?) brokers will allow free reinvestment of dividends from individual stocks. And heck, back in the investment club hayday, DRIP plans were all the rage. Either way, they'll "complicate" things for individual stocks as much or as little as distributions "complicate" things for mutual funds. -- Rich Carreiro rlc-news[at]rlcarr.com |
