This week on Taking Stock, Chives was joined by 6days1week to talk about his efforts to track direct plan purchases made through Computershare. Investors have the option to buy directly through the transfer agent and can even set up recurring automatic buys to continue accumulating shares of companies they support.

These purchases are executed in bulk at the market on a predictable schedule, a framework which could result in less than ideal outcomes for investors in terms of shares received per dollar invested. 6Days prepared some screenshots and graphs to assist in the conversation which are linked in the notes below.
