that's the sentiment. Trump voters vote for Trump cuz they like being GOP and like trump. Biden voters fukkin hate trump.


that's exactly how Trump won brehs. Trump voters in 2016 hated Hillary.


i feel like Biden will win comfortably. but i ain't gonna be surprised if trump pulls an upset. I was wrong before :mjlol:

Word, lol.

In regards to dividends, do you guys have it set up to automatically DRIP or do you keep it as cash in your available funds? Which do you prefer and why?

Newbie question, but if I set it up to automatically DRIP (re-invest on it's own) and my average share price was $25, but now the stock has gone up to $50 per share, will it buy me 1/2 a share when the dividend gets paid out?

Depending on who you have or what you're doing, it'll either purchase a percentage of the stock or it'll cancel the transaction.
Fidelity & Robinhood offer percentage purchases of shares for mobile users but for fidelity on the desktop as well as everyone else as far as I know, the transaction will not go
through.

So I recommend one of two things: regularly check your brokerage account OR leave a surplus of cash in there so that the transaction
goes through no matter matter what.


As for what you said previously, I have it set for auto-reinvest, any dividends paid are added to my pool of cash and then used
for my stock purchases.
