Ah - no it (dividend reinvestment) can't -- that's all just done automatically.


I was perhaps confusing -- in that I was trying to make the point that the ONLY WAY someone would get the exact same price - regardless of brokerage etc - would be to enter a limit order.... otherwise every transaction is likely going to be at various prices. Just look at a chart of DAILY activity for the name.... and then look to see how many shares trade per day - and the average daily trading etc...
