Never sell SHEL.
Adopting that adage means I'm 10% down after 30 odd years including divi reinvestment.
On the latter aspect, what I've noticed is that auto-reinvestment gets you a worse price that self investment. HL explained that they bundle up all the trades and put them to the broker on the day. The broker then (of course) gives you the highest price possible wiping out the trivial commission saving you get on a reinvestment trade.
