anyone who owns GME needs to DRS (move) the shares to computer share. This puts the stock in your name not the company you used to buy it (ie Fidelty or TD Ameritrade, etc).
Are you able to pm me on how to do that im about to dive in gme
There was a really good post on GAW a few days ago about how to do it with all of the different investment firms. But you could also just do an Internet search and receive the instructions which is what I ended up doing because I wasn’t smart enough to save that post and I cant seem to find it again. (My search was “DRS shares from TD Ameritrade”)
I do not recommend buying directly from computershare, their fees are significantly higher when you trade with them versus any mainstream brokerage. Computershare is not a brokerage house so they make their money on fees.
It doesn’t matter that much if it takes a few days to transfer, mine took five. I have read fidelity transfers the fastest. I had an account with TD Ameritrade, that I’ve had for years, so I purchased the stock there.
Once you buy it, you then call TD Ameritrade or which ever investment firm you use and tell them you want to do an outgoing DRS transfer. It’s really that easy and they handle everything including setting up your computershare account if you don’t already have one.
Most brokers are real slow to transfer to computershare,I would just open an acc,with them and buy the shares
They are not a broker,with all the bells and whistle,but you can buy and sell thru them
cheers
i cant open an account with computershare because they require an srn of the share that i hold, when i dont hold any?
I bought a single share from them to open an acc,before I transfered any over. I ended up with two acc,cause they had my ssn wrong on the first one.
The second one opened a week or two later and I notice the numbers were in sequence, about 20,000 apart,as far as I know I was the first one to notice that.
Yes how do I do this
How do I do this
If you buy shares through Fidelity it's very easy and quick. Took them only 3-4 days to complete the process and I soon got confirmation in the mail from Computershare.
👇 Not sure why some of this is bolt and large text. My apologies. 👇
NOTE: You don't need to open a CS account, Fidelity will take care of it.
FEES: NONE
PROCESS COMPLEXITY : 🔷
TIMING: ~3-5 days
METHOD: Phone
I used to have a process via form/email but phone seems to be super easy.
Step 1. Call the following number 1-800-756-0128 1-800-343-3548 and say it's for 'stock certificates'
Step 2. You might need to provide the following details:
Your account # with Fidelity
Your DOB, SSN and current address
How many shares you'll want to transfer and the method.
Step 3. Done
What is the advantage of putting it in our name rather than keep it with Fidelity? Shouldn't it be mine either way since I bought it? I'm rather new at this so please excuse my ignorance.
