Greetings,

Just found this board and read through the postings. Thought I would add my $.02 worth. The following URLs may be of some help. Natcorp has a list of companies that has direct purchase plans and DRIPS, Moneypaper can be used to check out the requirements for the individual companies. I might suggest that you request or download a Prospectus, and read it, to make sure the Plan meets your needs, particularly in regards to the fees charged.

Hope this is of some help.
