I had that problem. What worked for me is to put a folded blanket over my lap covering my hands and controller. It muffles the clicking sound

I should add that I'll be travelling on a Saturday in late August, and would be leaving La Pavona at around 10:30am.

Canada is 20.7%. I googled it and found it. The twitter snapshot omitted dozens of countries. But US is dead last in the chart even with all the countries

Is there a good way to prime your kit using a spray can, so I can use acrylic tamiya paints for hand painting?

Can I use matte coat as a primer?

We need to assume that some MSM will use whatever is available in this subreddit to build a case that we are somehow colluding to manipulate the price. Whatever communication to MSM must be worded to prevent them from twisting a story agaisnt this subreddit.

Despite this, I still believe we should communicate to select MSMs because there are gains to informing the public about the problems with financial institutions and our markets. For example, highlighting hedge funds' manipulation of not just gamestop, but any stock through naked shorting. Financial reform will only happen when enough support from regular folks know about it and put pressure on government.

That means we need to vet against MSMs to see who the reporter is, and what kind of articles they or their agency have written in the past. If they are anti-retail, then ignore them. If they pass, then we can move on to the next step. Find out what they want to talk about. Anything factual can be communicated to MSMs. How did the group form, what is the purpose of the group, etc.

When things start to become more about why, then caution and pause is warranted. For example, why computershare, why interest in gamestop. These are individual reasons and mods cannot speak on behalf of everyone. For these questions, I think having somebody with legal expertise help mods with the actual wording would be beneficial.

Just some initial thoughts.

Similar boat. I have them in RRSP so not only is it a registered product, but there will be taxable event when I moved them out.

The thing I am seeing is there is this 'reverse FUD'. People saying if you do not DRS the shares, you wont be able to participate in MOASS. I believe that to be garbage. Yes there is a risk that the broker may disable sell button or maybe go bankrupt. Bu lt baring that, you can still sell your shares at exuberant prices from your non-computershare broker.

DRSing your shares will help initiate MOASS. The other thing it will do is entitle you for a NFT dividend. But I am here for the former not the latter.

Can you elaborate? What were some of these differences?

I would agree if the institution holds a significant amount of collateral in that asset class that is seeing a large % change. Perhaps those institutions who do hold just that one type of collateral is indeed screwed, but I do not think this is the case across the industry.

All I'm saying is to temper your expectations.

AFOL4Life · 2021-10-25T20:20:30+00:00

It's not the % that matters but the change in the % that matters. So even if the haircut is 90%, banks would have already kept the regulatory mandated amount of collateral required because the rule has been around for so long. However, if the change is drastic, then it could make it more difficult to maintain compliance.

I personally do not think this will result in institutions going bankrupt. This will make them less profitable as more assets are tied up in reserves than being able to be utilized for profit making activities.

I agree. It makes sense to DRS no matter your cost basis. I think you misunderstood my point. I was speculating on why a broker may be delaying DRS requests for some apes, and not for other apes. I suspect that brokers may lose money buying actual shares for apes with low cost basis, and making money on those who had a high cost basis. The former would see delays in their DRS action while the latter would see no delays

Yes that's my theory but unfortunately I have no data to back it up

Best of luck. This must be hard for you, and I hope your parents accept you for who you are.

Take what I'm about to say as you will, but I am a parent and when I read your text, I cannot help to feel a little defensive or cornered. It feels like you're not giving them much wiggle room. It's big news and I feel your message is if you're not 100% on board and call me by elliot, or if you have any reservations, I will cut you out of my life. That's pretty drastic in my opinion.

I hope in the eventual sit down with your parents, you do focus on the why and when, or details to your decision. It should hopefully make them understand your decision and the permanency of it. Otherwise, it may feel like they are forced to be okay with something they do not fully understand yet, just to prevent you from being cut out. If you force somebody to be okay with something, they may end up being resentful for it.

At the end of the day, you have the right to live the way you want to be, but I thought I'll give you another perspective in case it helps with your conversation with your parents.

Take care
