This same sort of offer was made for CFVIU before CFVI changed to RUM.
Continental stock is just OK. I originally tried to compare them to computer share (who holds my GME and other long term hold certificates, but they are not apples to apples. Computer share is both a transfer/holding agent and they will also buy and sell shares. Continental stock is only a transfer/holding company. if you want to trade, you have to send them back to a brokerage. Also, when you send shares over to them, they create a brand new account each time and you have to call them to have them merge everything into one account. It’s a bit more of a pain in the ass, but to ensure that I actually on the stock certificates, it was well worth the pain. Their online portal is not very user friendly, but I’ve seen improvements over the last year.
Thanks for sharing and the comparison to CS. I’ve been looking into Continental, very thankful for this insight! Thanks again!
Well, unfortunately, if you want to actually own your DWAC certificates, your only option is to send them to Continental stock. I’m not sure I understand the reasoning behind why each stock can only be held by one transfer agent? But honestly never had the time to dig that deep to understand.
I think it’s easier for accounting purposes if one transfer agent were in charge of the book keeping due to how frequently the numbers typically fluctuate. Plus we all know how shady the DTCC is when it comes to book keeping, so less moving parts lol.
AST for BBBY was similar. You can't buy directly you have to transfer in from a broker to make an account but somehow you can sell directly from them. If CS was your first experience you're going to feel a bit spoiled.
Very true. I’ve been dealing with computer share for probably 15 years and never realized that there were others. Very spoiled by their service.
