Keyword: DRIP Investing

DRIP investing (Dividend Reinvestment Plan investing) is one of the two types of direct-investing plans. The other is the DSP (Direct Stock-Purchase plan). This approach is used to bypass the brokerage house and to buy shares directly from the issuing company.

Research and analysis is best done before making any decisions about investing in a DRIP. Be aware of the tax consequences and record keeping that has to be done.

Although it can be profitable, investing in a DRIP can be more work than simply checking out stock prices from stock market history, reviewing stock charts, and doing an analysis of stock market results and metadata. Example of the latter are available on the Bulls with Bears page on this site.

Stock Metadata

Smart investors and traders are constantly aware of the information available from stock market history. They are familiar with market terminology like DRIP investing, short selling, margin calls, and so on. In addition to understanding and interpreting stock charts, they know

• Where to find accurate and timely stock market news and analyst opinions
• The best sites for up-to-date stock quotes and stock market results
• Where to find the best sources of stock charts as well as how to understand and interpret them, and
• How to take advantage of stock metadata when trading and investing.

SMK’s Bulls with Bears page has as its main focus the topic of stock metadata. There are 5 different metadata reports on publicly-traded companies available there. A different stock is featured every day, Monday through Friday.

The Bulls with Bears page also contains detailed descriptions of all its metadata reports and talks about strategies for using stock metadata. Because the techniques used only consist of adding, subtracting and counting, this concept is easy to understand.

Statistically speaking, stock metadata can show the time of the day when the highest and lowest prices for stocks are reached, the time of the day when the highest and lowest number of shares are traded, and more.

It also can help to spot trends and patterns. For example, if the stock closes near its high for the day, what happens to the price during the next day’s first half hour of trading.

With stock metadata available to you, it reduces or even eliminates the need to rely on another person’s opinion to guide your stock market transactions. It takes some work but you can also prepare your own stock metadata. Simply copy the format of any of the existing reports and you’re good to go.

Any Site Problems?

Quality control is important to us. Every day, SMK adds new keywords and their corresponding non-SMK links. We also continuously scrutinize sites in our portfolio. Doing so ensures that all links to non-SMK sites will always contain pertinent information about any keyword of interest to our visitors.

But as non-SMK sites are not under our control, their content can change. If you spot this condition, we want to know. For example, if you’re going through one of the non-SMK links for a keyword and it no longer works properly or the topic is no longer covered by that non-SMK site, tell us. We’ll fix this problem immediately.

Please tell us if there are any non-SMK sites you’d like to see included for any of the keywords in the list. Furthermore, tell us if you have other potential keywords to add.

They can be something related to DRIP investing, stock investment research, stock charts or sources for stock market charts, stock market results, stock market history, stock market results, stock prices, stock quote sources, top gainers, top losers, or in fact, any other market-related keywords that you’d like to see added to SMK’s portfolio.
