no problem! etrade ->fidelity-> computershare was the route I took. I would leave a couple with fidelity just in case if I were you but not financial advice.. I DRS 99% of mine
You can just go straight from E*Trade, I've done it twice now. Just give them a call and say that you want to direct register your GME shares.
Oh very nice! I have some OTC at etrade but left them last year. Now to DRS my IRA shares
Funny because I moved all my OTC stuff to E*Trade as Vanguard and Fidelity suddenly won't let me buy through them anymore. Apparently it's "too risky" to let me buy shares in mining companies and startups that recycling batteries and precious metals from scrap electronics. Also Vanguard (on top of their other fuckery) won't allow you to invest in leveraged or inverse ETFs.
You can do it from any broker but realistically so many of them will delay the process, transferring to fidelity first was the fastest route for some.
Last time it was Fidelity that BS'd me and E*Trade moved faster. I called Fidelity when a week went by without the shares moving to find out that the last person I spoke to never actually finalized the transfer. Then the shares moved to Computershare in just under 48 hours proving that they can move faster when you light a fire under their ass.
For me it was vanguard who did what you described. Switched to fidelity and it was done in 2 days. They did fuck up my cost basis, which took a phone call and 1 day to fix but I think it’s always jacked up on the initial transfer.
