So, firstly, i want to start by talking about what direct registering your shares actually is, and what does it do and then? Secondly, i want to go on to the step by step guide now. Just a quick note is this: the only way to trigger the short squeeze and the mother of all short squeezes? No, but it is a way it is a catalyst and this will trigger the mother of all short squeezes. If done correctly, the reason why this will cause the mother of all short squeezes and the short squeeze is because, if you hold your shares with your trading app or your trading platform or with your broker, the shares are registered in their name. Yes, you can turn share lending off, and that means they can't lend out your shares, but because the shares are registered in their name, they can sell your shares whenever they like, as long as they're sure to buy them back.

But if you direct register your shares, those shares are registered in your name and are basically taken out of the flow, because no one can sell or buy your shares because they're in your name and not in your broker's name but i'll, explain it a bit more. In depth, the act of direct, registering shares or drs is taking a security and registering that security in your name, which is then held on the books of the transfer agent or the company, as in gamestop or amc. Drx is way better than having street name registration, which is where the security you buy through fidelity or td, ameritrade or weeble, is under their name and held on their books. If the float of gamestop or amc is street name registered, then it allows brokers to trade with one another in x.

Clearing for these securities and produce fails on their books. They have a massive pool of shares. To borrow from to give you your shares in your account, and they can continue to reasonably locate shares to reset their fails. Yes, obviously you can disable your share lending, but it's still kind of in that pool because they could just sell it and buy it back.

The brokers don't have to purchase a share on the market when you send a buy order. If they can reasonably locate a share due to their float, not being locked up, then they can essentially give you an iou. This is what happened to cmkm diamonds, and the dr t has been talking about for a while brokers, wouldn't even buy the damn shares, but investors were credited with shares on their accounts bam. One way that phantom shares are introduced.

It allows shorters to continue to borrow from a massive pool of float and short the stock because they can reasonably locate those shares. Even if there is a plethora of phantom shares in existence to the dtcc and the broker-dealers. The shares are there and available as long as a massive portion of the float stays street name registered, the float isn't locked up and they can continue to stall the game dragging the price. Drs is a solution to the poop they're performing to suppress the stock and continue to produce phantom shares when the security is registered.

In your name on the books of the transfer agent or in the books of gamestop or amc, it chunks down the remaining float because it effectively removes your shares from the overall flow. Think of institutions registering millions of shares of ownership and reducing the flow by drsing shares shareholders effectively. Do this and officially reduce the flow, and that basically means. Obviously, when you go into fintel, and you see that 150 million shares are held by institutions, you just assume the float less, those institutional shares is what's left for you to buy and therefore, if you take the float, take off the institutional shares and then take off Everything that's been direct registered.

That is officially what is left and therefore the more we can get direct registered, the less those hedges have to play with with less float the broker. Dealers, shorters and market makers have less power, they'll be more constrained when it comes to reasonably locating shares and as the float gets locked up towards zero shares in float, everything goes to poop, for them. Brokers can no longer reasonably locate shares for you when you place an order. All shares have to be purchased and the buy button effectively shuts off, assuming other retail isn't selling to you.

The problem of phantom shares creation or phantom share creation shuts down. Shorters also cannot locate shares to borrow to shore this method of phantom share creation shuts down as well broker. Dealers and others cannot locate shares to reset the felted delivers in x. Clearing and therefore filter delivers can skyrocket, finally, triggering regulation, sho closeout obligations, basically meaning if there's no shares for the failed, delivers to be reset.

Those filter delivers actually have to be covered instead of just can kicked down the line, but so long as the majority of the float remains street name registered rather than direct registered, they can continue producing phantom shares and resetting fails essentially nullifying all buying pressure from retail. The good news is that direct registering of shares is a process that is proved through transfer agents for companies, so it's possible for retail to register the shares in their name and chunk down the flow. In fact, that is the only way to direct register shares. It must be from the designated transfer agent of the company and who is the designated transfer agent for gamestop.

It's computer share and that's directly from an sec filing for gamestop. Now, obviously, you might be asking who's the transfer agent for amc. Well, i'm obviously on the amc investor relations website and if you scroll down it says the computer share. Trust company is the registrar and transfer agent for amc, entertainment holdings.

Computer share is available to resolve problems related to unpaid dividends, lost destroyed or stolen certificates, as well as to facilitate name and address changes as in to change the registered name on those shares into your name. Instead of your trading platform's name down at the bottom of the amc website, they have the contact information for computer share and also for john merriweather, the vice president of investor relations. If you're a bit confused with computer share or don't fully trust them feel free to send an email to john merriweather, and i'm sure he can give you some additional confidence. Computer share also provides transfer agent services for many companies of all sizes, like microsoft, apple and amazon.

Therefore, computer share is a real and trustworthy company, especially if it's used by microsoft, apple and amazon. So really, i do not see how computer share is anything to worry about. It is the golden platter placed right in front of you? Direct registering of shares pulls the flow and locks it up because it's no longer registered as street name under the broker dealers and as long as the majority of the float remains street name registered, they can continue, can kick in. They can continue.

Selling retail, more phantom shares nullifying buying pressure and resetting fails via x clearing and therefore, if you do direct register, your shares broker. Dealers and shorters and market makers lose their price suppression, power and phantom share creation power, as they have less float to work with, and obviously the moment that more than the entire float is registered with the rs poop hits the fan, as dr t says, because you Immediately have evidence of phantom shares or synthetic shares. The post then goes on to give an example of shareholders that drs their stock in the instance of cmkm diamonds and it's written about in dr t's book. But obviously i don't really want to go too in depth with that.

I will obviously leave the link to that post down in the description below and i'll also leave the link to this step-by-step guide down in the description below as well step. One is to call that following number or even call the number on the amc investor relations website, you then ask to initiate a direct registration of share transfer to computer share step. Two, you might need to provide them with the following details, like your account number with fidelity. Obviously this example is specifically for fidelity, but they also have a guide for td ameritrade and i invest chase bank or jpmorgan and many many other platforms as well.

Here you might also need your date of birth, your social security number and current address, and also how many shares you want to transfer and the method of transfer. You then, obviously might need the stock ticker, which is obviously going to be amc or gamestop, and also the cusp number, that's the number for gamestop and it's a fairly easy google search for amc and then step number three is well you're done. It's literally that easy. Just a three-step guide, most of the other platforms here, also have a three-step guide as well.

Although for some platforms like e-trade, it is a five-step guide, but it is not very complex. Now you might say, how do we know it's going to work and how do we know that it's trustworthy? All you've done so far, is listening to a random person, making a video and putting it on the internet about it. So, who else has spoken about direct, registering shares? Well, interactive broker, ceo and chairman thomas petafe, stated on bloomberg how long's would have initiated a short squeeze if they had known they had to write to ask to direct register their shares. I was scared of a domino bankruptcy, i mean i i i tell you.

The rules require the long brokers to go into the market and buy the shares at whatever price, so that drove the shares up to 480 dollars and then suddenly, i i guess, uh they. They it didn't go further, but it could have come further. So if the shorts had known and if the longs had known that they had the right to ask for their shares, yeah and and and they really wanted a short squeeze - that's what they would have done. So basically, what thomas peterfield is saying there is that obviously these platforms and these brokers had to go into the market and buy these shares and that's what pushed the gamestop price up to over 400 a share, but all of a sudden.

Then they stopped going in and buying these shares, but he then says if he knew that we had the right to ask for those shares and demand those shares to be bought or direct registered those shares, because then they are bore and in our name then it Would have triggered the short squeeze now i do want to be completely transparent and talk about the advantages of direct, registering your shares and also the disadvantages. One of the advantages is that it also protects you if your stock broker goes bankrupt, because your claim is with the company and you own part of it, not the intermediary, because the shares are registered in your name. They're your shares, whereas obviously, if your shares are registered in the name of your stock broker, if they go bankrupt, you're not necessarily guaranteed to get all of that money back and obviously, when you hold stock in a straight name, your broker can lend your shares to Short sellers who can drive down the stock price by selling short the stock? Now you might have share lending turned off, but they could still sell your shares, which obviously drive selling pressure and buy them back later. Now.

Obviously, one of the biggest disadvantages of using drs is that you can't sell your stock immediately. You have to submit instructions directly to the transfer agent, who then pulls your sell orders with other sellers and executes those trades on a predetermined schedule, maybe once a day for example, and therefore it does make it impossible to sell shares in the midst of a panic. At any one second interval, because they maybe only execute trades once per day, although could potentially take a few business days to achieve perhaps longer. Although there is a comment from somebody that has already direct registered their shares and he said that computer share have an investor center, when you can buy and sell shares not only of the best company, we love, but many other companies as well, including setting limit sales Etc, so you could direct register your shares and then just set a limit sell and then at least you know you're fairly certain to get the price you want now.

On top of this, if you also check out rural dtcc3 2003 and check out the comments, you can see a lot of people opposing this rule change, which was the direct registering of shares. However, there was also a number of comments that supported this rule change, and one of those is as follows. In order to resolve naked shorts, issuers have had to resort to small dividends, name changes, request the stockholders to order shares out of dtc or actually exiting dtc to get any results. The latter almost immediately requires brokers to cover their naked shorts, and these naked shorts are evident to dtc at all times.

What the dtc is trying to do is perpetuate what it is now doing without any potential liability for helping the conspiracy in naked shorts that has damaged so many small companies and their shareholders. Once somebody exits dtc, you can be sure the naked shorts have to be covered to complete that this is what the dtc is upset about, not preventing them, and somebody else commented saying we have no quarrel with brokers who believe a stock is overvalued and engaged in Covered short selling, our objections relate solely to the ability of nscc members to sell unlimited quantities of non-existent stock into thinly traded markets and receive payment for the counterfeit shares, without making good delivery to investors who purchase stock in good faith. Remember that these comments were made on a rule, change that was enacted in 2003, so this practice has been going on for a long time. But, as this comment here shows, there is a way around it.

If you direct register your shares and effectively pull those shares out of the float and out of the dtc guys be sure to, let me know down in the comments below what you think about direct registering your shares. Is it something you're going to do because effectively direct registering those shares, takes it out of the float and locks those shares away in your name and also, if you haven't already be sure, to sign up with moomoo to get that special thomas james, investing promotion to Not only get one free stock, not two free stocks, but three free stocks and as always guys, if you enjoyed this video, be sure to check out some of my others.
