Anyone here involved in any DRIP plans? I've considered getting into one. I hold a relatively small position in a company that has one. Do I still pay taxes on those dividends the same as I do now? I know I avoid the broker fee.

Yes on the taxes, will still receive a 1099-Div for the amount.

I've been doing DRIP for a long time. I do have a mutual fund that is managed. But my 5 DRIP stocks have outperformed the mutual by double and I don't pay a broker fee.

I started with blue chips. Some don't allow direct purchase. In the 1990s I was advised to buy Dot Coms. I did not. The guy who advised me lost a bundle. Do some research.

Think of it as a savings account that actually makes money. Just put it in and forget it.
