Ultimately it comes down to the market. Whether Schwab and Fidelity reinvest your own dividends at some fixed or random time of day, or give you the average cost they get for all reinvested divs, or use some other algorithm, it's the vagaries of the market that drives your reinvestment price.
I don't know Fidelity's process for reinvesting divs (ETFs or stocks). But generally they execute automated trades around 10AM.

If you don't think you're getting the price you want, you could always take the div in cash and place a limit order yourself. At least you could at Fidelity. Schwab doesn't offer "slices" of any securities except S&P 500 companies, and even then it doesn't accept limit offers.

US Savings I-Bonds Rate, 11/1/24 – 4/30/25
Total 3.11%% (vs current 4.28%)
Fixed rate is 1.20%, the semiannual inflation is 0.9506%.

In case anyone case about billionaire horseraces, Fox Business reports that Truth Social is now worth more than "X".
https://www.foxbusiness.com/technology/truth-social-parent-company-trump-media-worth-more-elon-musks-x-election-day-nears
But as Musk presumably owns substantially all of "X", his investment is worth more than Trump's 57% of DJT. OTOH, Musk has lost 80%, while whatever Trump gets from DJT is pure gravy.
Surely I can find something better to do with my time than this. Like reading the latest jobless claims figures. And deciding whether to buy a short term T-bill or keep cash in a Treasury MMF. (I believe that Fidelity's window for next Tuesday's auction closes in 40 minutes.)

Of course the average 401K balance is low. It includes people who just started saving and have $2000 in their account.
A better statistic is the average balance of 55 or 60 year old people.

Wow. This thing is trading at $55. I was not following this stock but it looks like its low was on Sept 24 at $12. Last 2-3 days, it climbed about $20.

Far far too volatile and far far too likely to be gamed/swayed by nothing more than emotional meme opinion.
Even though I avoid meme stocks (eg, DJT, TSLA, NVDA, etc) the tiny daytrader part still in me was tempted to go short a few weeks ago, but "face getting ripped off" for any number of reasons kept popping up in my mind as a likely outcome and thus I didn't -- which turned out to be quite prescient. :)

GMOI looks to be a close clone of GTMIX GMO International Value which trails the MSCI World ex USA Value index by a bit
GLTI is close but not a clone of GMOIX which has been a pretty good Foreign value fund
GMOV is fairly close to UUDAX but has 50% META for example. Same portfolio managers

Interesting NYTimes article on hedging and politics:

When a good crop means survival and a bad one can wipe you out, it makes sense to hedge — by buying futures contracts that will ease the pain if your own crop is disappointing.
Such classic hedges, which are the foundation of modern commodities markets, have a cost — and not just in the expenses involved in buying the contract. You are essentially betting against yourself, diminishing your profits in exchange for insurance against risk.
...
On a prediction market, you needn’t bet on the person you want to win, or believe will win. If you’re hedging against what you see as a grave danger, you can put your money down on the person you don’t want to win. That way, even if the election result seems to you to be a catastrophe, you will be compensated for what you see as the nation’s loss.

These hedges are different from betting on a horse race or a sporting game. There, you have nothing at risk that needs protection. If your horse winds up headed for the glue factory, you haven't lost anything - unless you own the horse.

My guess is that buyers are betting on a 45 win. I wouldn't touch that toxic waste anywhere between $0.00 and $1000. I will love to see what happens if he loses.

Sorry to hear your troubles @linter. Did Fidelity say you could not open another rollover IRA at Fidelity and buy CBYYX in the new account? Cash between fidelity accounts moves instantly where as moving to Schwab might take 4-5 days. If you are in MM at Fidelity other than in sweep, you have to first sell the MM, let it settle and then place the transfer request at Schwab; otherwise, your transfer can get rejected for insufficient cash. Fidelity will not sell MM for you to move cash to Schwab. The above was my experience, YMMV.

Wow. This thing is trading at $55. I was not following this stock but it looks like its low was on Sept 24 at $12. Last 2-3 days, it climbed about $20.

It’s getting nuts. Some banks / credit unions use an outside security service that monitors activity for possible fraud. My local bank blocked an attempted $159 purchase of (commercial free) NBA league Pass the other day for no reason I could discern. Not only that, but a block was put on my debit card until I answered a phoned computerized query. (I’m wondering if the auto-renewal component of League Pass may have resulted in a flurry of complaints in the past by people who simply forgot to cancel subscriptions in time.)
Is the block @msf mentions also used for 2 party factor verification of other transactions? Buying and selling inside a brokerage account? Sure sounds like it. I think everybody’s racing to stay ahead of AI. Heck, even though already logged in as a paid subscriber, Morningstar made me take one of those “prove you’re not a bot” tests the other day before I could continue. (I successfully identified all the busses in the photos.)
BTW - I’m a Verizon user. Haven’t had any problems using text messages for verification. In fact, the problem with the debit card I noted was finally successfully resolved by a computer generated voice call.

FSAEX doesn't seem to be used much, regardless.
FFFAX allocates 9.69% to US equities; 0.34% of its total portfolio is FSAEX
FRBDX allocates 50.73% to US equities; 1.83% of its total portfolio is FSAEX
Not surprisingly Freedom index funds don't invest in FSAEX. Neither to the Freedom blend funds, though they invest in some actively managed funds.
The Fidelity Simplicity RMD funds also invest in FSAEX, but Fidelity has closed them. (Too many fund of fund lines?)

”I'm thinking the fools are the one's looking at valuations, playing it safe etc”
Wasn’t that the case a year ago as well? Remember all the chatter here about cash / T-Bills / CD’s early this year? Many were happy with a guaranteed 5% return, some locking it in for several years out.
I’m not being critical of anyone who opts / has opted in the past year for “safe” investments. Just wondering wth it has to do with the election? Or why you consider it timely. Or are you just baiting people?
Regardless of party in power, (Presidential) election years tend to be pretty decent for investors.

Grantham just had an hour plus interview on Morningstar. Was very informative. As individuals we can not access their mutual funds. They appear to be building out their suite of ETF's with these 5 additions to QLTY. The upcoming emerging market ETF -
symbol BCHI follows GMO's projections.

Interesting. Thank you for filling us in @Mitchelog.

If any of you end up availing any of these promotions from Janus, please post.

Soon as I can scrounge up $50 will do! In Michigan that’s 500 “empties.”
