MoneyPaper will accept a cheque from a US bank or a US$ money order from a Canadian bank.

Once they transfer the starter share to your direct ownership with the Transfer Agent, you can send any cheque from a US bank for your OCPs (even from your brother's account).

Not sure if I should be posting here or the Beginner's Corner, but it is specifically related to this. Say I want to start a JNJ DRIP, but have yet to set up my USD checking account.

Am I able to send in the form (with my information) and a US check (my brother's account) to get the one share?
Then later when I have my account set up, start sending in OCP checks from my account?

I am wondering if the account information on the checks is relevant to the DRIP account.

Thanks

New Rules however - you can only buy the minimum number of shares to enrol in the DRiP (most cases one share)...

Dear DRIP Investor,

As you may know, Temper of the Times Investor Services (Temper) suspended the DRIP enrollment service for several months. I am happy to say that it is now accepting orders for DRIP enrollments, having concluded that it can operate based on the conditions set forth by FINRA after its latest audit of the firm.

Attached you will find the new enrollment order form, which includes a few changes and a new fee structure.

I want to call your attention to the 10% cushion, which is required to protect the firm in the event of an upward movement in the price of the stock. The new procedure is to accept orders for no more than the minimum number of shares needed to qualify for enrollment. In most cases that is one share. Under these circumstances, the firm has concluded that is not efficient to refund any excess amount of the cushion nor is it efficient to bill customers for any shortfall should the stock move up more than the cushion provided.

The firm reasons that the excess or underpayments on single share purchases will be tiny amounts. Customers routinely fail to cash checks for tiny amounts. It would not be efficient to issue checks and account for the un-cashed ones for three years in order to “escheat” them to New York State. However, in some cases, the minimum number of shares required is more than a single share. In that case, the firm refunds any amounts in excess of $25.

I am attaching a Temper Enrollment Order Form to this email. You may return the form along with a check payable to Temper Enrollment Service to the address shown on the form. Click here for the Temper Enrollment Order Form.

Information about every company that offers the DRIP option is available FREE at www.directinvesting.com. You may select the “Order DRIP” option at that site, to enter your order for enrollment online. You can reach us by telephone at 800-388-9993.

With best wishes (and welcome aboard to any new DRIP investors),

Vita Nelson

Commentary:
Fear and Greed
Now that stocks are finally surpassing their 2007 highs, investor psychology may the biggest obstacle facing us in the near- and long-term future. Of course, we've seen that DRIP investors tend to handle the pressure better than most, but even they are now faced with the age-old question of whether to allow fear to dictate selling to take profits or greed to dictate buying at what may be high prices. The best advice is: Don't let emotion dictate what you do now (or ever). As always, it's important to consider each company based on its fundamentals. Some stocks may be at new highs, but if their earnings and dividend growth are expected to continue, they may still represent good value. On the other hand, companies that are running out of steam on the profit front may not warrant purchasing at this time. Just don't let fear or greed cloud your objective judgment.

Commentary:
Industrial Strength Rally
Unlike the market top that came in 2007, the current surge in stock prices is not predicated on financial engineering and inflated housing prices. Rather, it has been built by growth in the most basic industries, which is to say that more companies have been producing and shipping goods or performing vital services. Even more impressive is the fact that stock prices have not only climbed the usual 'wall of worry,' but have had to overcome a deep and lasting distrust by consumers and investors, who are naturally more cautious in the wake of the financial collapse of just a few years ago. Whether or not the rebound in stock prices will continue for some time is difficult to predict, but at least it should be dictated by real growth, rather than smoke and mirrors.

Commentary:
The Cruelest Month
Contrary to popular belief, October is not the worst month for the stock market historically, that dubious distinction has fallen on the month of September. It may have something to do with the post-Labor Day return of the crowd who followed the advice to 'sell in May and go away.' It may have to do with profit-taking after a Summer rally. Whatever the reason(s), the stock market has historically done poorly in September and continued that trend into October. But one thing that we've learned in recent years is that the usual patterns don't always hold true, so we shouldn't assume that the gains in 2012 are doomed to vanish in the weeks ahead. More important, we should remember that long-term investing includes a constant series of up and down movements and the best approach is to ride them out by keeping our focus on that long-term vision.

Commentary:
Chill Out
During the long, hot summer, air conditioning can really help us put up with the oppressive conditions, and mankind has developed any number of devices to make life more comfortable in adverse conditions. But the stock market continues to perplex and confound many people, in large part because of the sharp rallies and declines that seem to happen when least expected. The problem, of course, is that we let our emotions cloud our judgment, canceling the beneficial effects of logic and reason. Now that the market is reaching new multi-year highs, will we get carried away and 'buy high?' At this time last year, the market was a place of despair and all too many gave into the urge to 'sell low.' So let's just take a cue from our appliances and try to cool down whenever emotion threatens to take control of our finances.

Dear Moneypaper Friend,

My son, Lee, is one of the producers of a movie that opened officially in New York and Los Angeles on August 3 to excellent reviews. It is now opening around the country starting in California and Washington State. I am writing to give you my personal review:

It is very entertaining, and I think that it will leave you with something to think about. I’ve seen it twice and enjoyed it both times!

The movie is called “Celeste and Jesse Forever.” It stars Rashida Jones and Andy Sandberg (of Saturday night live fame) and premiered at the Sundance Film Festival where it had excellent reviews and was purchased by Sony Classics.

Opening week is important so if you plan to see the movie, please do so as soon as it comes to your community. You can probably buy tickets in advance of the opening at fandango.com.

Please let me know whether you liked it.

With best wishes, and, as always, good luck.

Commentary:
Food for Thought
With much of the nation's midsection baking under record heat and drought conditions widespread, crops like corn and wheat stand to be reduced this year, leading to higher prices. That extends to the livestock that needs to be fed, so consumers are facing a specific bout of inflation. But food processors should be able to pass along the higher costs and may even log higher profits, thanks to the efficiencies that they have achieved over the past decade, when most went through restructuring, including divestitures and acquisitions. Those companies were forced to figure out what product lines resulted in the most consistent sales and earnings. As always, out of adversity, success in the marketplace is the end result.

Nowadays, you might think that it would be "the other way around," but for some old-style DRIPs, the ability to make automatic investments was an add-on feature, to which a fee was attached. Another example is Johnson & Johnson, which charges $1 for autodebits, but nothing for investments by check.
This is a case of "Be careful what you wish for" in that, if the plan were replaced by a "more modern" plan, it would likely levy fees on everything.

Company Information:

Founded in 1912, Illinois Tool Works manufactures components and fasteners for automotive, construction, and industrial uses, as well as specially engineered products, machinery, and consumables for the automotive, construction, and food and beverage industries. Its growth strategy includes acquisitions, which have helped it expand to over 800 operating companies in 58 countries. Foreign sales accounted for 59% of the $17.8 billion in 2011 revenues. The company is expected to earn about $4.22 per share in 2012 and $4.70 per share in 2013, compared with $3.74 in 2011. The annual dividend, which has been increased for 48 consecutive years, now totals $1.44 per share, for a yield of 2.8%. Insiders own 4.5% and Northern Trust owns 9.9% of the 477.4 million shares, which is down from 617.3 million in 2003.

Commentary:
Boring is Beautiful
You might think that a company making fasteners, filters, and equipment for the past century would hold little appeal for the average investor. But that's only true if you define the average investor as someone who's only interested in the next hot stock or a quick profit, a common misconception. The truth is that it takes decades to assemble a conglomerate of efficient operations that can operate in a highly independent, decentralized manner that each manage to produce profits that grow year after year, allowing the corporation to reward its shareholders with an ever-expanding dividend. If you examine the nature of the companies that have been succeeding for decades rather than months or weeks, a common thread emerges: Provide the simple things at the highest quality on a consistent basis and persistent growth will follow.

There shtick was the bar served the 100 highest rated beers and 100 highest rated bourbons.

Had my first Sam Adams there. I believe that's Boston Brewing and the only DRIP + SPP that doesn't pay a dividend.

Actually I guess you cant really call it a DRIP with no dividend so only an SPP.

Commentary:
Global Reach
Many well-meaning financial advisors suggest looking for solid dividends among foreign companies in an effort to diversify clients' portfolios internationally. But that strategy may be a bit short-sighted, for two reasons. First, many foreign firms are subject to taxes that are withheld by their home countries, cutting into the dividends that might otherwise be reinvested. Second, most large U.S. corporations are thriving both here and abroad, often deriving more revenues from foreign sources than from domestic ones. Better yet, even when there is a slowdown in one region, such as Europe, they are growing in more vibrant areas, such as Asia or Latin America. The fact that they may offer no-fee dividend reinvestment plans is just icing on the cake.

The weekly special is available to anyone I believe.

If you wish to order other DRIPs then if you're a member you get half priced commissions.

Canadian MoneySaver Magazine has a DRIP Club membership with DirectInvesting. If you subscribe to Canadian MoneySaver Magazine (about $25/year) you can get the logon info to get member rates.

Or,

You can search "Canadian MoneySaver DRIP Club" on the Canadian Board and get info.

I am confused about the cost of these type of offers.
ON the site it says a cost of 100 for a year.
then you get the 1/2 price cost of 25 vs 50 for the contact of the 1st share but you still have to pay 7.50 for transfer fees.

Is the above correct ???

thanx'z phil
