Thanks again for the responses.

It is for future financial planning purposes. I was looking for a low cost way to buy a few shares at most. It would seem if I set up an account to buy a share or two of a company at a time then the transactions and account costs would eat up the profit.

If you only do a little at a time, it can. Sharebuilder is one of the lowest brokerage at $4/trade if you do an "auto invest", which is on Tuesdays only.

Another option is the traditional DRIP through someone like Computershare. Pretty sure they allow a no-fee investment and dividend reinvestment, but only through a few companies.
