<p>Asked my brokerage to check to  make sure dividend reinvestment blocks the gain on NOK. They left msg. - said no, they don't do that, and that is true of most stock dividend. But they also said that may be different on ADR's, and the best place to call would be the company itself (good luck with that ! When we were buying them, they never answered the phone.) But hopefully it would be different now. The rep said that w/ADRs, some of them will do what we proposed - they will simply deposit into  your account shares in lieu of cash.</p> <p>I'll try to see what else I can find.</p>
