Kellogg’s (K) minimum first time investment $50 out of that is a $10 one time set up fee the other $40 goes to stock. After that you can invest as little as $25 per purchase and the money goes 100% into stock, Kellogg’s pays all of the fees.

Exxon Mobil (XOM) minimum first time investment $250 Exxon pays the set up fee, and after that you can invest as little as $50 per investment and Exxon pays all of the fees.

Kellogg’s has had dividend increases the last 3 years while Exxon has had increases the last 10 years, and both companies have been paying Dividends 80 years or more.

I found this to be such a great thing that I have listed over 150 companies on my web site at http://www.aplussrc.com that offer direct purchase plans and the best thing is its FREE. I have also included links to the company home pages, prospectus, and enrollment forms.

I have been buying direct for the last 2 years and my per share cost is down to .34 a share verses the .86 a share I had when I was using a broker and I am doing it $50 at a time instead of $1000 or more at a time.
This also gives me the ability to invest with more diversification.

Are you doing some of these mistakes?…
