Thanks Warren I will check it out. Even though I said from "what I understand" Zman reckons my post is a lot of rubbish and maybe it is. My understanding came from Investopedia which maybe the U.S. version? I am not sure. But it says "DRIP typically come from the company’s own reserve, they are not marketable through stock exchanges" in the first paragraph and then says under the heading "Company Advantages" > "One reason is the shares are not as liquid as shares purchased on the open market" which is how I came up with my line of reasoning. Anyway as I said in my initial post, all new to me and still trying to get my head around it.
