Q: Hi Peter and team:
My question is about Drips and more importantly discounts on drips. I have had IPL for a number of years, and at one time they offered a discount. I truly believed, and was told that I was getting the discount on reinvestment. My shares are held in my RBC Direct investing account. I now read that this is an Rbc synthetic drip, and the only way to ever get the discount is to hold the shares in your own name. In a RRIF this would be impossible. Please fill me in on my lack of knowledge. Thanks, BEN.
