Summary
With the stock market on a seemingly perpetual rollercoaster ride, it's more important than ever to find ways to keep investment costs down and profits up. To this end, Jeff Fischer of the Motley Fool sets down the possibilities for commission-free direct investments. Fischer explains the difference between DRPs (dividend reinvestment plans) and DSPs (direct stock plans) and how to invest in each. He outlines what types of companies to consider, what kinds of records to keep, and how to deal with taxes -- all in the simple, concrete terms for which the Fool is famous.
