The Ups and Downs of Drips

TD Ameritrade allows you to enroll some, all or none of your stock in a DRIP with partial shares. Both in regular taxable accounts and in Roth IRA's (I would assume traditional IRA's as well) They also track the cost basis of each lot of shares for tax purposes.

Dividend Yields Soar

ACAS hasn't cut it's dividend yet in over 10 years of operations. In fact they've continued to increase it.

The effective yield has almost doubled as the share price has dropped. But the underlying fundamentals are still strong. Deals are still being made and cash is still coming in.
