What is a DRIP?
  DRIP stands for Dividend Reinvestment Plan. DRIP is a company-sponsored way
of purchasing shares of stock through the company with no brokerage fees. The
dividends from the stock can be reinvested to purchase additional stock. New
stock can also be purchased.
  Some companies require initial purchase of stock through a broker while
others allow first time purchase. Some companies give you a discount on the
price of the stock when purchased through the DRIP program.
  Many of these companies have banks administer their programs. For example,
Exxon has First Chicago Trust run their account.

How to buy:
  Contact the DRIP administrator (the phone number listed below). They have
the most up-to-date information on purchase provisions.
  The NAIC (National Association of Investors Corp) has a DRP program for
several companies (93 at last count). You must be a member of NAIC, but they
will set you up for $5 per company. The address is
  NAIC
  Box 220
  Royal Oak, Michigan  48067
  (313)-543-0612 (phone)
  (313)-543-8442 (fax)
Dues are $32/year.


How to sell:
  The DRIP administrator will redeem your shares.
  Some companies only redeem shares once a month, thus you may not get the
best price for your shares.

Advantages:
  * No brokerage commissions (except possibly on the initial purchase).
  * Some companies offer stock at a discount.

Disadvantages:
  * Record keeping of the dividend reinvestments (for tax purposes)  can
    be monumental.
  * Stocks are generally bought/sold on a fixed day, every month...i.e. little
    control over price. Some companies it is done per quarter.
  * Some companies must be notified in writing in order to sell.
  * Some companies send you the stock certificates so YOU sell them.
