Together, we can build a stronger community. The world of custodial advocacy is complicated, but we can make it simpler step by step. What's a resource that has helped you in your educational journey?

[WhyDRS @whydrs]

Did you know that Warren Buffet is very familiar with the importance of direct ownership? In 1981, he advised investors that "it would be wise to have at least one share registered in your own name" to ensure they would receive prompt communication. https://t.co/UHmaPqNLvo

This was a fantastic conversation - It's excellent to hear from a public company CEO who understands the structure of our markets and is trying to find ways to improve the experience of his investors. Thank you for the shoutout, Dave and Charles!

[6days1week @6days1week]

For the 3rd year now, I was able to travel to Grapevine to view the GME shareholder list along with @BearkatMitch. We will be participating in a space call today (5pm eastern) hosted by @whydrs and @JFWooten4 to share some recent findings and answer questions. I have included a “sneak peak” of the top 100 holding positions. We will NOT be confirming if someone was on the list (or not) unless asked to by those people directly. Feel free to drop questions in the comments here as well. 🫡

Today on Taking Stock we're diving deep into Donations: how we're set up to collect funds, where those funds are being held, plans to improve disclosure, and plans for the DUNA governance structure we'll be using in order to facilitate use of those funds. https://t.co/rfCwziJPi5

Custody is such a crucial part of investing, and doesn't get as much attention as it deserves. DOLE is one example where investors holding through a broker without direct custodial claim had worse outcome as a result.
