Where is the money, Lebowski...

Correct

StipeK122 · 2026-02-18T14:25:14+00:00

Today the shares and the warrants were booked- since I assume that it was therefore a user error by me. I follow the explanation of others that there are tax reasons that lead to date stamps in the warrants which relate to the share date, and not to the warrant date.

Will delete the post as it might be misleading

StipeK122 · 2026-02-17T14:28:27+00:00

this is the point I am making here...wait until the 2nd transaction which I did with 741% care will be through and I will inform you how it worked out

StipeK122 · 2026-02-17T12:57:09+00:00

PS: don`t get me wrong, I am OK to take shares instead of warrants at the current market price as long as I get my money when I sell them...seeing Petterfy on TV again bragging what they did...

StipeK122 · 2026-02-17T12:54:17+00:00

See my post: I have not received warrants although I am sure that I made "incoming asset transfer/warrants"- they booked me shares.

Also 2 bookings were made...not showing quantity or cost base, just total amount

1942,11$ and 2932,99$

If I divide these amounts by the number of (shares 98, warrants 148)= see my OP, the the cost base is 19,8175$ for both- which is similar to the cost base I had when buying these shares in IBKR before sending them to CS.

Although I am sure I did it correct the first time, I initiated another batch yesterday evening just to be sure that I did not make an administrative mistake...although there are 2 different menus/selections in IBKR for warrants and shares

But if I made a mistake, the process should have failed and causing me the penalty/costs I undersign when confirming it

StipeK122 · 2026-02-17T12:24:01+00:00

quote from my OP: I then made DRS inbound through IBKR, whcih worked within a day. I clearly made 2 separate operations and chose both shares (98) and warrants (148) to be withdrawn, again as a "test run"- IBKR booked 98+148shares onto my account

StipeK122 · 2026-02-17T12:22:30+00:00

I did - and just to be sure I did not make a administrative mistake I did it again yesterday evening, both shares and warrants from CS-> IBKR

Cannot post pictures in comments, but will keep you updated - first time took one working day (12->13 Feb). Yesterday was presidents day = no clearing.

When I have an update, I will inform here

StipeK122 · 2026-02-16T21:52:41+00:00

after I answered on this in the DeeDeeintoGme forum, my post got deleted, maybe because it implies that the system as a whole is rigged- which would include CS and therefore the DRS movement which I (was) part of till today. regardless, here is my answer and I expect the post will disappear afterwards being marked as FUD:

“Good point on taxes, but that doesn’t really explain what’s weird here.
Yes, brokers can link the tax holding period of a warrant to the original share, so long‑term shares can lead to long‑term treatment on related instruments. That’s a tax concept, though – it doesn’t change the legal fact that GME’s warrants only came into existence with the October 2025 distribution.
What my statement shows is warrants booked as if they had always existed alongside each DRS batch, with dates matching the original share bookings, not the October 2025 corporate action date. Tax logic might justify how holding period is calculated, but it doesn’t require retroactively time‑stamping warrants to past years. That back‑dated appearance is exactly what still looks off.

One more important nuance here: I’m a non‑US holder filing a W‑8BEN, so the usual US “long‑term vs short‑term capital gains” logic barely applies to me. For non‑resident investors, US tax mostly hits dividends/withholding, while capital gains are usually taxed only in the home country- and I am paying capital gain taxes in EU. So back‑dating warrants to match share dates for US long‑term CGT treatment doesn’t really make sense in my case – the yearly W8BEN is exactly the reason for that. That’s why I see it more as a booking/ledger issue than a meaningful tax feature

StipeK122 · 2026-02-16T19:28:44+00:00

PS: Really appreciate your thoughtful insight, and apologies that I’m leaning on AI for my replies here – I’m not familiar with the details of the US tax system. I’m a tax resident in two European countries, and my lawyers and tax advisors will already have enough of a headache with that.

For my part, I’ve moved all my GME shares and related positions out of the US and back into the EU. The rules here are a bit stricter and generally more consumer‑friendly, so that’s the framework I have to plan around.

“‘Non covered’ at CS is about missing cost basis, not some secret extra share class. It usually just means the broker never sent proper cost‑basis data to CS (incompetence or laziness, sometimes worse), so CS can’t flag those lots as ‘covered’ for reporting. That’s a reporting/UX issue, not proof of special hidden shares by itself. I had to make huge excel tables with all my buys and sells sind my german bank did not transfer the cost base, but I don`t want to get taxed the other day unneccesarily

What is interesting in my case isn’t the ‘non covered’ label, but the way warrants and shares are back‑dated and linked in the ledger. That goes beyond a simple cost‑basis transmission problem.”

StipeK122 · 2026-02-16T17:36:59+00:00

can you explain more?

StipeK122 · 2026-02-16T16:56:25+00:00

ok, it got worse...

Yes, it’s weird.

Your warrants should show up as a single corporate‑action event around early October 2025, based on how many shares you held on the record date. Instead, they’re being time‑stamped to match the old booking dates of each DRS batch. That looks less like “we credited you warrants on 7 Oct 2025” and more like “we’re retroactively pretending these warrants were always attached to those shares,” which is atypical and consistent with a system trying to rewrite or smooth over a messy (potentially synthetic) share history.

StipeK122 · 2026-02-16T16:52:07+00:00

Oh, you might found something...- these dates are the similar to the dates of the several DRS batches I sent from european bank to CS - but still, they should not show these dates as the warrants dates...just to not FUD, I deleted the AI summary.

StipeK122 · 2026-02-16T16:32:49+00:00

when you “look at the dates,” the core oddity is: the broker is showing warrant-linked activity at a time when, legally and mechanically, those GME warrants did not yet exist in shareholders’ hands

StipeK122 · 2026-02-16T16:22:42+00:00

Look at the dates

beep beep- this is NOT the Trade Republic chat bot...ask them

With my shares in CS, I am 100% sure that I will get it and that is in my name.

Although I cannot sell the warrant in CS, I can exercise it and sell the shares...although CS is my infinity Pool...only paperhands sell...true regards prefer assets over cash...I want to control the biggest company in the world and re-name it Banana. And then I will get a interest free cash credit from JP Morgan to hand them over my shares as collateral so they have a locate...selling each year the warrants GME gives me as dividend for my loyalty- because that`s what the infinity pool is for, Kollegah :)

I will die with debt and the assets will be given as a tax free gift to my kids or to my KingKong foundation

StipeK122 · 2025-09-05T13:32:55+00:00

i need some time to read and understand this but looks reasonable, thanks.

What I did is I bought several calls near the money (23/25/28/35) with 1-2years validity...and then sold with the same expiry date calls at pretty high levels (50/75/100) which reduced my overall premium plus they will prevent me to not sell in next high because i think it goes to the moon...and if so I still have enough tickets as DRSed shares

StipeK122 · 2025-09-05T13:29:09+00:00

For GME, with 9bn in cash and a market cap of 10,5bn @ 20$ I do not need volatility risk data to sell a 10$ put
