From
Vita Nelson
Moneypaper
Inc.
is a leading
publisher of
investment
literature and
was one of the
earliest advocates
of direct investment
plans (DSPPs,
DRPs, or DRIPs).
For
more than twenty-five
years, The
Moneypaper Inc.
has been providing
quality investment
products and
services to
an ever-growing
individual
investor community.
And as the company
continues to
evolve with
the market environment,
its products
also continue
to evolve, always
meeting the
strict standards
it requires
for its customers.
The
Moneypaper newsletter
is known for
having spearheaded
the movement
toward direct
investing. Specifically,
it explained
how smaller
investors participating
in the stock
market could
do so efficiently
and profitably
by making regular
investments
through direct
investment plans
(DRIPs). The
monthly publication
is chock full
of financial
information
and includes
a digest of
any important
items published
elsewhere.
**
The Moneypaper recommends
a long-term
approach to
investing.
It offers strategies
and provides
services to
help investors
build wealth.
It is dedicated
to educating
both small
and large investors
about ways
to minimize
investment risk.
** The
Moneypaper guides
you to the
best places
for your money
with specific,
unhedged recommendations,
and it shows
you exactly
what steps
to take. The
goal: to help
you achieve
wealth and security
by becoming
a self-reliant,
self-directed
investor.
** The
Moneypaper recommends
using direct
investment
plans (also
known as dividend
reinvestment
plans, DRPs,
or DRIPS) to
buy stocks
without a broker.
This is a low-risk,
low-cost way
to save for
retirement:
That's because
DRIPs make
it possible
to employ two
important investing
strategies--dollar-cost
averaging and
broad diversification
among industries
and among companies.
The
Moneypaper
Inc. publishes
the Guide
to Direct Investment
Plans.
More than one
million copies
of this publication
have been sold
over the past
ten years. The
Guide gives prospectus
details from
every company
that has a DRIP.
It also explains
the process and
helps with information
about registration.
The
Moneypaper Inc.
and its affiliate,
Temper of the
Times Financial
Services, Inc.*
were pioneers
in providing
financial services
to smaller investors.
Since 1981, The
Moneypaper has
helped empower
hundreds of thousands
of individuals
to invest without
employing a traditional
broker/dealer.
Each issue of The
Moneypaper and
it’s
sister publication Direct
Investing provides
strategies to
help the investor
take control
of his or her
finances. The
mission is to
help individuals
build wealth
based on developing
a clear, coherent
plan that works.

* Temper
of the Times
Investor Services,
Inc. (Temper) is
a broker/dealer
registered
with the SEC
and members
of FINRA. The
sole purpose
of this brokerage
is to provide
the initial
share(s) required
by many companies
in order for
an investor
to join the
company direct
investment
plan. Temper
provides an
easy and efficient
way to enter
the company-sponsored
no-fee plans
as well as
the fee-based
plans offered
directly to
the public by
the transfer
agents.
Here’s
how it operates:
You place an order
with the Temper
Enrollment Service
for a specific
company (you can
order up to 18
companies on any
one order form).
Temper will buy
the number of
shares that you
request for each
company you order.
However, you must
buy at least the
minimum number
of shares required
by the company
to open a DRIP
account—or
as many as 100
shares. After
Temper acquires
the shares required,
it will contact
the transfer
agent for each
company that
you ordered and
request that an
account be opened
in your
name.
If you wish
to become enrolled
in a DRIP company,
you can link to
the Temper Enrollment
Service and order
enrollment online,
or you can print
out a Temper
Enrollment Order Form at this site.
