reinvest dividends or not?

[Ron Ricco]

All mine come in tax advantaged accounts and are feee for reinvestment. I just let them drip, otherwise I would end up either paying quite a bit in commissions (65+- stocks) or pooling it each month for few purchases.

I see the value in the alternative strategy as well and I will allocate new money that way, but results have worked out pretty well with straight dripping.
