Iron ore price, page-12763

I my view the only up-side factors for DRP are:

1. No brokerage.
2. If you're going to get a sheet-load of new shares then you get them without having to watch what you're doing to the sell stack

Down-side:

1. If you opt in you're committed to go through with it.
2. Your price will be VWAP so you don't get the chance to time your entry.

I tend to go for DRP if...

1. I think the stock is the strongest investment for my dollar (I do right at the moment; I think we have further/better to go)
2. The brokerage matters (it does to me for the amount of shares I will get)
3. I don't think I can do better timing the market (I probably can't because I'm xxxeriously bad at picking lows)

Not advice... just comments.
