Title: Automatic reinvestment of profits into user selected assets
Post by: luckybit on July 23, 2014, 07:50:00 pm
Example: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dividend_reinvestment_plan

"Because DRIPs, by their nature, encourage long-term investment, rather than active trading, they tend to have a stabilizing influence on stock prices."


Suppose a user makes a profit and wants to invest between 1-100% of it into a market or user asset? Can we have this feature?

Suppose a delegate reinvests 100% of their profits directly into a user asset? Suppose the user wants to reinvest into an array of assets which meet a certain set of conditions? Could it be automated?

Example 2: http://www.dividendgrowthinvestor.com/2008/10/are-drips-worth-it.html

"The abbreviation DRIP stands for dividend reinvestment plans. Drips are a nice low cost way to purchase dividend stocks and build a stock portfolio. These programs allow investors to purchase shares in two ways either through reinvesting dividends or with optional cash payments that can be sent to the companies you want to invest in. One benefit of drips is that they allow dividend reinvestment in partial shares. Another benefit of other drips is that some allow reinvesting your dividends by purchasing shares at a discount to the market price. Two such companies that I am aware of that do this are ACAS and NNN. Below you can also check my analysis of ACAS and NNN."

One of the issues with drips is that in order to participate in the DRIP you must already have purchased one share of the company stock. Some companies have overcome that hurdle for shareholders by letting people make a direct purchase in their stock. Stocks like GE or XOM are good examples of direct purchase plans with reinvestment plans."

Are features like these planned?
