With all the DRIP purchases I found that my income tax preparation too many, many more hours to match up the multiple purchases with sales.It seemed like a lot of work for tiny dividends. Then I started worrying about the 60 day repurchase rules when selling stocks. The Drip ended up adding small amounts of stock during the 60 day period and I still haven't figured out if I'm handling all these issues correctly. I turned off DRIP on all my etrade stocks and just take the cash and add it to my investment cash.

G.E., Disney & P& G's monthly fees became exorbitant and the stacks of paper I was forced to keep and headaches at tax time just became unendurable. I invest in most of these companies now and am able to buy fractional shares via Foliofn.com; they provide me with complete tax records at the end of the year, re-invest my dividends, and easily allow me to see my positions/gains any time I want all for one yearly maintenance fee. Check writing for when I must have access to emergency funds is also provided.
