Ultimately I lean more towards manual reinvestment. I like the control of where I can allocate my cash & risk management aspect of allocating elsewhere & the fact that I can focus on ROI
In general I pool new capital with dividends received so I try to allocate into best opportunities I find today
In a world of zero fee investing, manual reinvestment does make sense
In the past, I did automatic reinvestment, especially as there were fees to buy/sell stocks and fractional share purchases were largely unavailable. It does take some time however, so one has to balance that as well
Manual reinvestment allows me more control into what I invest in, as I target ROI. It also allows me to reduce and manage risk away from original position
The downside is that my ROI estimate may be way off
Thanks everyone for sharing
I've done a mixture of both DRIPs and manual reinvestment
Drips allow automatic reinvestment, regardless of conditions and how I feel, which is superior behaviorally
The downside is that I may end up DRIPping into situations that may not be best from an ROI perspective

Twitter freaks out after every 2% decline
I wonder if they'd stick to stocks if we get another lost decade like 2000 - 2011?
