RE:RE:Why do a DRIP and NCIB at same time???LOLYep it encourages buy and hold investing, and concentrates the investor base.

makes perfect sense
- puts more shares in solid (long term) hands with no increase in overall share count (or even a decrease depending on the NCIB volumes realtive to DRIP volumes). )
-DRIP investors get dollar cost averaging, and compound the growth in their investment in the company
- DRIP investors pay no commission (though that is a moot point these days) and can add fractional shares.
- reduces cash payout for cash dividend. (of course more cash goes to buy-in)
