I dont understand automatic reinvesting dividends. What if the stock is trending down? Can I set it so dividends will only reinvest as long as the fundamentals are good and the stock isn't going down?

What dividends? I’m the unfortunate owner of GM and WFC.

dividends are discounted from the price, so what’s the advantage?

Neither DRIP nor high-risk growth is a good strategy. The best investing strategy is one that incorporates companies that grow their dividend over time due to their company's growth.

I use DRIP for some of the stocks I own. I use the rest of my dividends to buy new stocks

Adjust 4% for inflation and you are left with less purchasing power than you initially started with 10 years prior. Dividends are for suckers. All the major exchanges trade at fractions of seconds to realize immediate gains... then they turn around and convince you that leaving your currency sitting around for 10+ years is in your best interest. That is financial marketing at its finest.

Dividends are a joke. Just invest in a reliable growth company with a solid cash flow. I am going for the CRISPR stocks and my time horizon is around 10-15 years.
