RE:DRIP or dip?Drip if you are not an active trader. Dip to buy other equities on sale or if you need the cash. While it's impossible to time a market, for that reason I always dip to pad available cash on hand to buy equities when they dip.

I guess this is another form of timing vs time in market type question.
At $7.30 and climbing (got in just under $5), I'm thinking I'll continue to keep the dividend as cash for what seems like an inevitable rainy day. Is that the better strategy - or am I just fooling myself?
