Channel: Hidden Freedom

[3]
hey everybody Dave here in free
[5]
investing and today we're just gonna do
[6]
a quick video on Charles suave and how
[9]
you enable dividend reinvestment and
[11]
we're gonna also look at the web in
[13]
addition to the Android app so
[16]
fortunately I don't have an Apple phone
[18]
to show you how that works so let's go
[21]
ahead and get logged in to the Charles
[23]
Schwab website here and we'll go ahead
[26]
and show you what I'm talking about so
[29]
once you get logged in to Schwab this is
[30]
what you're gonna see if you have the
[32]
account summary basically turned on from
[34]
the get-go I do have two accounts with
[37]
Schwab and it's actually showing both
[39]
accounts here in one view that's what
[42]
this little arrow is here or tell me
[44]
that I have basically two accounts
[46]
underneath that position so that's the
[49]
way the reason why the invest shows is -
[51]
- there because it needs to show you the
[53]
individual status per count so if you
[56]
only have one account then it'll
[57]
probably show you just yes here or no
[60]
here but what we're gonna do is it's
[62]
gonna drop down the actual individual
[66]
accounts we can show you what I'm
[67]
talking about
[68]
[Music]
[76]
so we are on the basically the positions
[80]
page up here now and we are looking at
[83]
one of my accounts now it is set to all
[85]
brokerage accounts but this drop down
[86]
there's actually two accounts there but
[88]
if you only have one account this is
[90]
what you're going to see we scroll down
[94]
you will see all my positions and you'll
[101]
see and reinvest right there and they're
[103]
all set the yes so if you want to turn
[105]
reinvestment on or off you just click
[108]
this yes and then you have the option
[111]
here to do a yes or a no and then hit
[114]
update anywhere I can do it change we
[117]
don't want to change that so they are
[119]
all set to yes on mine and so how would
[126]
you turn this on if you're actually just
[128]
getting into a brand new position so
[130]
let's go ahead and look at how you would
[132]
do that you come back up to the top and
[137]
you go to trade over here click on trade
[144]
then from here what you have is you want
[147]
to enter a symbol we're just gonna do
[149]
like Oh
[150]
for example Realty income and then your
[154]
action you're gonna do you know by cuz
[157]
you're gonna buy a stock and then
[158]
there's your option right there reinvest
[160]
dividends
[161]
check or uncheck so if you want to
[165]
reinvest dividends from the get-go click
[167]
that box so here we are logged into the
[171]
Charles Schwab app on my android phone
[174]
and you I have two accounts there so
[177]
what is going to click on one of those
[178]
accounts and you notice here I'm
[184]
underneath positions and I've clicked
[186]
all through here there is no option to
[189]
check whether or not dividend reinvest
[191]
is turned on I cannot figure out how you
[194]
would turn on or turn it off from the
[196]
app for an existing position that said
[200]
there is a way to turn it on when you
[202]
get into a new position so let's go and
[204]
look at that so you click at the top up
[206]
here on the right hand side you click
[208]
the three dots you go to trade and then
[214]
from here you enter your symbol
[219]
we'll go ahead and just do Chaffee
[221]
Morgan because that ones at the top will
[223]
click by and then there's your option
[227]
dividend reinvestment you click on that
[229]
little arrow button there and then you
[233]
have a toggle basically on the
[235]
right-hand side their dividend
[237]
reinvestment if it ends on or off that
[240]
is how you get into dividend
[242]
reinvestment on trial swab on the
[244]
Android app getting into a new position
[247]
so like I said there is no option on the
[250]
Android app to turn on or off on
[252]
existing positions I have not been able
[255]
to find that option it doesn't appear to
[257]
exist so maybe they'll do an update to
[259]
the app at some point maybe I'll do an
[261]
updated video so for now that's how you
[264]
do it if this video helped you out
[265]
please go ahead and give it a thumbs up
[266]
go ahead and subscribe and we'll see you
[268]
