Sharebuilder - auto investments & fees?
Question:
Answer:
With $50 per month, you would pay higher fees, than if you invest $1,000 at one time.
If you want to invest $50 a month I would recommend a low cost mutual fund company like Troweprice. You can invest here and pay no commision to buy (load fee)
Wait for more than $50.
If you buy at $50, then you get only 92% of your moneys worth because you buy at $4. If you buy at $1000, then you get 99.6% of your moneys worth in stocks.
There are companies that offer DRIP: D.R.I.P. are Dividend Re-Investment Plan, The company allow investors to invest $20 to $200 per month in the company stock. This causes stock price averaging. When ever the dividend is paid it is paid in a fraction of stock based on the stock price.
Many companies just want investors, and will bend the rules to permit almost anyone to be an investor.
