Merck's dividend reinvestment policy is, to me, quite pricey.
I believe a $5.00 fee for optional cash payments.

Hi Bernie! I have considered the Drip plan. I think it would be a good idea overall. I even talked to housemate about it.

I own shares in Merck but intend to buy more, maybe I will buy through the market and through the drip.

Thanks for reminding me about the Drip.
