Why the negativity for people who want to save on fees as they get started?


There was nothing negative about my question. I didn't understand why many people have direct DRIPs set up when they're available, and much more convenient, from most discount brokers.

If one is investing $50 or $100, direct DRIPs seem to make sense due to fees.

Sorry - I've just seen a handful of threads this year about why direct purchasing is inferior to going through a broker. Not yours specifically. I don't understand the hate sometimes.
