You can do the same thing with Dividend Re-Investment Plans (DRIPs). But there is something to be said about keeping your investments in as few places as possible, as well as the flexibility of making changes without needing to do an IRA rollover. Very true, Hank.

For example, I fund companies like Dodge and Cox can be the custodian for you if you are only investing in their family of mutual funds. The main downside to that option is that you will have IRA accounts scattered all over the place instead of consolidated at an investment company such as Fidelity.
