So if I wanted to use Computershare to purchase AT&T on a set amount per month basis here are the fees:

quote:

Initial Setup Fee $10.00
Cash Purchase Fee $5.00
Ongoing Automatic Investment Fee $2.50
Purchase Processing Fee (per share) $0.05
Dividend Reinvestment Fee 5% of amount reinvested up to a maximum of $3.00 plus $.10 purchase processing fee (per share) Batch Sales Fee $10.00
Batch Sales Processing Fee (per share) $0.10
Batch Maximum Sales Fee N/A
Market Order Sales Fee $20.00
Market Order Processing Fee (per share) $0.10
Market Order Maximum Sales Fee N/A


Is the ongoing auto invest. fee monthly? What about the purchase processing fee? Will that only be charged if I deposit enough each month to purchase one share?

Run, do not walk, from that fee structure.

that fee structure is in part due to what T places on its direct stock purchases.

If you search through Computershare, and look at XOM, for example, it's actually a decent deal. Exxon charges very few fees. Some are worth it for passive investors, others aren't.
