A: As in many instances, the answer is “it depends”.
Here is an excerpt from Cramer’s book “Getting Back to Even” on DRIPS from page 84.
“It’s very important that you reinvest your dividends, unless you are retired and more
concerned about income than about growing your wealth. Reinvesting, as much as anything
else, is really the key to making money in high-yielding stocks. If you use the divident
payput to buy more shares, you are going to benefit from what everyone likes to call the
magic of compound interest -basically, earning interest on the previous interest you’ve
collected, or in this case, getting paid a dividend for shares bought with money from a
past dividend. Look at a stock’s yield the same way you would look at the interest rate
you get in a savings account, except with more risk and hopefully greater returns. As
long as you reinvest those dividends, they will compound, and that means serious money
over the long term.”
In my case, I used DRIP for over 20 years until I retired. Now that I am retired and am
able to spend time on home work, I no longer use DRIP. Instead, I take the dividends and
invest in other things (or hold the cash) and for current income.

Fidelity offers dividend reinvestment without commission. TD AMERITRADE offers dividend
reinvestment on certain securities. more

A: well i think it would depend on how big your investment is for the short term...if ya buy
less than 50...it wouldn't really matter what it does unless someone offered a
takeover....but if your investing daytrader style for the short term 500 plus shares...it
might be a good investment if you pick the right day at the right time. more

Occam's razor-The principle states that the explanation of any phenomenon should
make as few assumptions as possible, eliminating those that make no difference
in the observable predictions of the explanatory hypothesis or theory. In
short...all thing considered...the simplest explanation tends to be the correct
one.

Q: I like the Swiss Franc here. As a hedge to Euro insatiability and the solvency
of Greece and the Euro Zone future in general. And recent FED talk on rates. I
wrote a post not to long ago below >
-------

Could the Swiss Franc...by default and unintentionally...become the Eastern
Worlds reserve currency? They manufacture nothing and have no comods. But yet
most of the worlds multiple currencies and it's countries BANK there. And the
IRS case
from America...only affects Americans deposits or mentality of their
secrecy.....don't forget that. It will and did
most of last year trad inversely to USA Dollar. I always said they'd be one
of...if not THE...last one standing. ALSO lets remeber that not only cash in
them Vaults! It is in essence a natural basket/peg of world currencies.

I made GOOD $...being long Swiss Franc and short Dollar last year.

Q: How does the USA maintain if not excel past China and the rest of world for that
matter in it's competitive in innovation against CHINA?

EASYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYy

We suspend if not do away with altogether patents (not creative copyright in
performance arts) but mechanical patents for starters.

And rest on the merits of American creativity and innovation and spirit of being
the best and building the best. If not for the betterment of humanity...than to
lines ones pockets with the money made from the next big thing...... That
creativity now is hindered/obstacled by the monopolistic control and use of
patents. And we beat CHINA at their own game in the process. With this move
above....innovation would explode and markets would roar....we would have the
closest thing to a virgin free market as we ever had in a long time.....I call
it > The Renaissance 2.0
