Introduction to Dividend Reinvestment Plans

Investing in stocks is not hard. With some knowledge and a little bit of luck, you can increase your assets. While most investors elect to purchase shares directly from a stockbroker, an interesting alternative exists—dividend reinvestment plans.

If you already own shares of a company you want to invest in, consider using their optional dividend reinvestment plan. You can save on brokerage fees and possibly even reinvest dividends.
