Buy GME direct from Computershare so your shares are DRS's (direct registered to your name). This makes your shares unavailable to be "loaned out" and sold short, which is what this is all about.
Unfortunately, you’re mistaken about that. Computershare holds shares in either “PLAN” or “BOOK”. PLAN HOLDING shares get lent out, while BOOK are pure DRS that belong to you.
PLAN shares are the ones bought through Computershare. BOOK are shares transferred in from a brokerage.
You should change your holdings, on the Computershare website, so that they’re all in BOOK.
BOOK can only hold whole shares. For example, if you have 50.345 shares in PLAN, it will transfer 50 over to BOOK, and you’ll forfeit the fractional share (.345)
You also need to switch off the DirectStock purchase plan, if you’re enrolled in that. Here’s info on that…
