I would like to invest in a stock and use the dividend reinvestment program to add to my holdings. The stock I would like to invest in does not allow direct purchase, so I must purchase it through a broker. I believe when you do this, it registers it in a "street name" so it is not eligible for the DRIP. Would anyone know of a broker (Scottrade/e-trade/etc.) that allows you to convert your stock to Direct registration without charging an arm and a leg?

Most brokers allow dividends to be reinvested but the fees to buy one additional share might be cost prohibitive where as a DRS plan wouldn't have that.

I don't really want to go through a broker but I have to have at least one share to enroll into the company's DRIP.
