Imagine a machine that, upon inserting a quarter, out came a dollar. We’ve found a company building such a machine.
Fellow Investors,
Last time we found something this special, readers who acted quickly saw gains of over 500%.129
This time could be even bigger based on special circumstances at play.
In this case, we’ve identified some of the most successful names in gold mining history and followed the trail to a junior upstart that has—without fanfare—quietly become one of the best plays available in the market today. In this article, we outline exactly why and back it up with our detailed research enclosed below.
The most astounding element here, is the fact that this junior mining stock can be bought under $1.00/share right now—less than a single dollar per share of Element79 Gold (CSE:ELEM). We’ve seen comparable stocks in the space trade well over $5/share, sometimes over $8 or $9 per share.
A review of recent Element79 Gold (CSE:ELEM) press releases and regulatory filings reveals a company sitting atop tremendous assets, focused on cash-flow, run by perhaps one of the most qualified teams imaginable.
Here’s a list of key documents every investor should review to truly understand why Element79 Gold(CSE:ELEM) might quite possibly be the #1 purchase to make in today’s market environment.
Quality of Management
  • Element79 Gold Appoints Shane Williams to Board of Directors
  • Element79 Gold Welcomes Barrick Gold Alumnus and Experienced Mining Executive as Chief Operating Officer
  • Element79 Gold Welcomes Mining Veteran as Vice President of Global Exploration
Quality of Assets

  • Element79 Gold Completes Acquisition of High-Grade Peruvian Gold Portfolio
  • Element79 Gold Files NI 43-101 Technical Report on the Maverick Springs Project

Remember, last time we brought an opportunity like this to the attention of our readers, investors who completed their due diligence promptly saw the greatest return potential. Be the early bird.

——————SPECIAL SITUATION REPORT——————

1. They’re Focused on Cash-Flow

They’ve stated this gameplan directly in their press releases.
2. They’ve Got The Numbers
Element79 Gold (CSE:ELEM) reported an Inferred Resource of over 3.7M ounces of gold equivalentat one property and has intersects of 174 g/t Ag over 9.14 meters at another. Recent sampling at Lucero returned up to 116.8 g/t Au Eq(78.7g/t Au and 2,856 g/t Ag).
Numbers like this are extremely rare and indicate something truly special is here.
3. They’re Incredibly Undervalued

Anyone can run the numbers and confirm the value here far exceeds the current price.
4. Insiders Have A Lot Of Skin In The Game
The number of shares held closely by direct insiders at Element79 Gold Corp. (CSE:ELEM) speaks volumes to the situation here, with millions of shares directly and indirectly held by its board of directors and senior executive team.97 Given the facts laid out above, it’s no surprise why insiders are holding so much stock in Element79 Gold (CSE:ELEM).
5. Analysts Predict Gold Buyout Fever
The very same companies circling Element79 Gold Corp. (CSE:ELEM) have a proven track record in taking over junior mining projects and bringing them into full production, often times acquiring projects and companies for hundreds of millions, and even billions of dollars.
A growing list of buyouts from nearby majors:
  • $10 BILLION Merger (Newmont buys Goldcorp)63
  • $7.1 BILLION Buyout (Kinross buys Red Back)60
  • $1.07 BILLION Takeover (Pan American Silver acquires Tahoe)61
  • $608M Acquisition (Iamgold takes over Trelawney)99
  • $526M Buyout (Goldcorp buys Probe Mines)122
  • $500M Valuation (Nevada Gold buys 10% of neighbor)62
  • $456M All-Cash Transaction (Newmont acquires GT Gold)123
  • …is Element79 Gold Corp. (CSE:ELEM) the next major buyout target?
The need to replace gold reserves means the M&A market will be a seller’s market, according to Bank of America’s analysts, and they see junior and intermediate producers as potential acquisition targets for larger producers struggling to make up their reserves.56
6. Momentum Could Strike At Any Moment

Based on the track record of management and the public roadmap announced to date, we believe that catalyst could come sooner than later and investors may do well to consider positioning themselves ahead of time.

Golden Opportunity
The ‘Must-Own’ Company of The Year
That’s why our #1 stock to own in 2023 is Element79 Gold Corp. (CSE:ELEM), a junior miner sitting atop one of the largest land packages in Nevada18 smack dab in the middle of the largest gold complex in the world.19
In today’s market, it’s more important than ever to have a firm foundation of solid research. That’s why when we conducted our due diligence…
…and discovered senior management hailing from Barrick Gold, Eldorado Gold, and Skeena Resources…
…including assets surrounded by some of the biggest gold mines in the world…
…on the verge of near-term cash-flow and operating multiple production-stage facilities…
…and yet trading at valuations a mere fraction of its neighbors…
…we realized how big of a story we had uncovered with Element79 Gold (CSE:ELEM) and why it’s the perfect play in the new inflation age.
Location, Location, Location
Prime Locations in the World’s Top Mining Destinations
Any single property can make an entire company’s legacy. Now consider Element79 Gold (CSE:ELEM), in the short time since its IPO, has already acquired a staggering 17+ properties in prime locations across the world’s top mining jurisdictions.
Their newest Nevada asset includes 18,000 hectares—literally one of the largest land packages in Nevada,79 smack-dab in the middle of the gold region where Barrick and Newmont are operating a joint venture.106
ELEM’s properties stand out in the world’s #1 gold district.
Perhaps more astounding is their Lucero mine which remains one of the highest-grade underground mines in Peru’s history at grades averaging 19.0 g/t Au Equivalent (“Au Eq”) (14.0 g/t gold and 373 g/t silver), and their Machacala Project which averaged production grades of 10.5 g/t Au Eq (6.0 g/t gold and 340 g/t silver). Recent sampling at Lucero returned up to 116.8 g/t Au Eq (78.7g/t Au and 2,856 g/t Ag), truly astounding numbers in today’s age. It’s hard to believe these properties are wrapped within a small unknown company trading at these current prices, but that’s the value of finding these situations before the crowd.
One need look no further than the words of their CEO, stating in plain terms, “the acquisition of these high-grade Peruvian gold assets offers Element79 Gold (CSE:ELEM) the opportunity to harness new avenues for near-term cash-flow and take an accelerated path toward potentially operating multiple production-stage facilities,” commented James Tworek, President and CEO of Element79 Gold(CSE:ELEM).
Unknown to most is that Peru has mining-friendly legislation that allows up to 350 tpd production. Once that target is achieved, targeted for the coming 12-24 months, additional production licenses can be obtained to expand production. Element79 Gold (CSE:ELEM) has stated that it intends to pursue the opportunities aggressively, and that could spell significant cash-flow for investors.
Investors Win Big
Drill Results Can Net Life-Changing Returns
A few years ago, one of the most explosive stories in junior mining unfolded before our eyes,102 closing the trading day at just $0.72 on August 21st, 2018.
The very next day, drill results were announced showing several stretches of high-grade gold82 and soon **that stock traded up to a high of $17.93.**102
Investors who bought early, before the drill results were announced, turned a modest $40,000 stock purchase into nearly a $1 million dollar windfall at its peak.
Returns like that can be life-changing and it didn’t take a lifetime of saving, it was buying the right stock before the crowd.

The Midas Touch
Element79 Gold (CSE:ELEM)’s Assets Within Nevada
With 18,000 hectares—nearly 70 square miles—this is an unusually large land package for a junior miner sitting in a precious-metals hotspot among elephants like Newmont and Barrick.
Here’s what’s most stunning: with tremendous assets and only 82 million shares outstanding,97 Element79 Gold (CSE:ELEM)’s current share price is a bargain compared to peers.
Maverick Springs: Gold at Value Prices
Element79 Gold (CSE:ELEM)’s latest acquisition, Maverick Springs, is located within the legendary Carlin Trend gold belt92, home of the famed Carlin Mine, the world’s second largest gold mine83 which reported a staggering **1.7 million ounces of gold production in 2020.**91 In fact, this highly-distinguished gold belt has produced over 90 million ounces of gold to date.90 At present gold prices, **that’s in excess of $150 TRILLION dollars worth pulled out of the area.**107 It’s clear as day, Element79 Gold’s claims are in the right place.
In fact, just recently news was released revealing millions of gold equivalent ounces in the ground already. Read the full press release here for details.
Battle Mountain: Upside, Upside, Upside
The Battle Mountain portfolio includes 15 highly prospective properties just to the west, with several early-stage drill holes revealing promising intercepts and high-grade finds.
The majority of the Battle Mountain Projects are located within the Battle Mountain Trend (see figure below), with several Projects in close proximity to world-renowned gold deposits including Nevada Gold’s Cortez Mine, the third largest gold mine in North America93 and the sixth largest in the world, which reported 2020 gold production at 799,000 ounces.91
The same belt of deposits also contains the recently discovered Goldrush complex that, as of 2016, carries measured and indicated resources of 25.2 million tonnes grading 10.6 g/t, representing**8.6 million ounces of gold in the ground.**94 The area is also home to SSR Mining Inc.’s Marigold Mine, which is expected to produce approximately 2.37 million ounces of gold between 2018 and 2028.95
ELEM’s projects highlighted in yellow stars within the legendary belt.
The northernmost Projects in the Battle Mountain Portfolio, the Golconda and Clover Projects, lie just south of the Getchell Gold Belt, which bridges the northwestern ends of the Carlin and Battle Mountain Trends, and contains Nevada Gold’s Turquoise Ridge Mine, the third largest gold mine in the U.S. **with 537,000 oz of gold production reported in 2020.**91
The Brock and Stargo Projects are situated on the southern end of the Austin-Lovelock Trend, southwest of Eureka and northeast from Kinross Gold Corporation’s Round Mountain Mine, which placed as **the fourth largest gold mine in the U.S.**91 and, in November of 2018, poured its 15 millionth ounce of gold since beginning operations in 1978.96
The Fraser Institute just ranked this area as the top jurisdiction in the world for investment based on the Investment Attractiveness Index.55
The Buyout Scenario
Major Players Seeking New Acquisitions
Most major mining companies focus on their expertise, acquiring and bringing new mines online. They leave the exploration of high potential properties to the junior mining companies.
That’s why Element79 Gold (CSE:ELEM)’s proximity to so many majors is such a unique opportunity.
In fact, Barrick Gold has directly stated this in their 2020 annual report, *“The Carlin Trend remains a target rich environment. The 2019 program focused on merging massive datasets in support of geological modeling. Drilling was initiated to test highly ranked target concepts as well as establish a geological framework in priority areas lacking drill information. Looking forward, the Carlin Trend will become the most active exploration area in Barrick’s portfolio.“*117
On their own map, you can literally see Barrick and Newmont’s land holdings surrounding Element79 Gold (CSE:ELEM)’s Battle Mountain portfolio.
M&A Hungry Neighbors With Deep Pockets
  • Barrick Gold ($35B market cap) paid over $2.3B to acquire Homestake84 which held mines in Nevada85
  • Newmont Corporation ($45B market cap) acquired Fronteer Gold for more than $2B86
  • Nevada Gold Mines is moving quickly to consolidate assets in the area87
With so many majors working alongside you, it’s hard not to be noticed.
Element79 Gold (CSE:ELEM) will undoubtedly be watched closely by all those in the surrounding area and positive drill results could quickly drive Element79 Gold to the top of every major producer’s M&A wish-list.

Golden Opportunity
The ‘Must-Own’ Company of The Year
That’s why our #1 stock to own in 2023 is Element79 Gold Corp. (CSE:ELEM), a junior miner sitting atop one of the largest land packages in Nevada18 smack dab in the middle of the largest gold complex in the world.19
In today’s market, it’s more important than ever to have a firm foundation of solid research. That’s why when we conducted our due diligence…
…and discovered senior management hailing from Barrick Gold, Eldorado Gold, and Skeena Resources…
…including assets surrounded by some of the biggest gold mines in the world…
…on the verge of near-term cash-flow and operating multiple production-stage facilities…
…and yet trading at valuations a mere fraction of its neighbors…
…we realized how big of a story we had uncovered with Element79 Gold (CSE:ELEM) and why it’s the perfect play in the new inflation age.
Location, Location, Location
Prime Locations in the World’s Top Mining Destinations
Any single property can make an entire company’s legacy. Now consider Element79 Gold (CSE:ELEM), in the short time since its IPO, has already acquired a staggering 17+ properties in prime locations across the world’s top mining jurisdictions.
Their newest Nevada asset includes 18,000 hectares—literally one of the largest land packages in Nevada,79 smack-dab in the middle of the gold region where Barrick and Newmont are operating a joint venture.106
ELEM’s properties stand out in the world’s #1 gold district.
Perhaps more astounding is their Lucero mine which remains one of the highest-grade underground mines in Peru’s history at grades averaging 19.0 g/t Au Equivalent (“Au Eq”) (14.0 g/t gold and 373 g/t silver), and their Machacala Project which averaged production grades of 10.5 g/t Au Eq (6.0 g/t gold and 340 g/t silver). Recent sampling at Lucero returned up to 116.8 g/t Au Eq (78.7g/t Au and 2,856 g/t Ag), truly astounding numbers in today’s age. It’s hard to believe these properties are wrapped within a small unknown company trading at these current prices, but that’s the value of finding these situations before the crowd.
One need look no further than the words of their CEO, stating in plain terms, “the acquisition of these high-grade Peruvian gold assets offers Element79 Gold (CSE:ELEM) the opportunity to harness new avenues for near-term cash-flow and take an accelerated path toward potentially operating multiple production-stage facilities,” commented James Tworek, President and CEO of Element79 Gold(CSE:ELEM).
Unknown to most is that Peru has mining-friendly legislation that allows up to 350 tpd production. Once that target is achieved, targeted for the coming 12-24 months, additional production licenses can be obtained to expand production. Element79 Gold (CSE:ELEM) has stated that it intends to pursue the opportunities aggressively, and that could spell significant cash-flow for investors.

The Midas Touch
Element79 Gold (CSE:ELEM)’s Assets Within Nevada
With 18,000 hectares—nearly 70 square miles—this is an unusually large land package for a junior miner sitting in a precious-metals hotspot among elephants like Newmont and Barrick.
Here’s what’s most stunning: with tremendous assets and only 82 million shares outstanding,97 Element79 Gold (CSE:ELEM)’s current share price is a bargain compared to peers.
Maverick Springs: Gold at Value Prices
Element79 Gold (CSE:ELEM)’s latest acquisition, Maverick Springs, is located within the legendary Carlin Trend gold belt92, home of the famed Carlin Mine, the world’s second largest gold mine83 which reported a staggering **1.7 million ounces of gold production in 2020.**91 In fact, this highly-distinguished gold belt has produced over 90 million ounces of gold to date.90 At present gold prices, **that’s in excess of $150 TRILLION dollars worth pulled out of the area.**107 It’s clear as day, Element79 Gold’s claims are in the right place.
In fact, just recently news was released revealing millions of gold equivalent ounces in the ground already. Read the full press release here for details.
Battle Mountain: Upside, Upside, Upside
The Battle Mountain portfolio includes 15 highly prospective properties just to the west, with several early-stage drill holes revealing promising intercepts and high-grade finds.
The majority of the Battle Mountain Projects are located within the Battle Mountain Trend (see figure below), with several Projects in close proximity to world-renowned gold deposits including Nevada Gold’s Cortez Mine, the third largest gold mine in North America93 and the sixth largest in the world, which reported 2020 gold production at 799,000 ounces.91
The same belt of deposits also contains the recently discovered Goldrush complex that, as of 2016, carries measured and indicated resources of 25.2 million tonnes grading 10.6 g/t, representing**8.6 million ounces of gold in the ground.**94 The area is also home to SSR Mining Inc.’s Marigold Mine, which is expected to produce approximately 2.37 million ounces of gold between 2018 and 2028.95
ELEM’s projects highlighted in yellow stars within the legendary belt.
The northernmost Projects in the Battle Mountain Portfolio, the Golconda and Clover Projects, lie just south of the Getchell Gold Belt, which bridges the northwestern ends of the Carlin and Battle Mountain Trends, and contains Nevada Gold’s Turquoise Ridge Mine, the third largest gold mine in the U.S. **with 537,000 oz of gold production reported in 2020.**91
The Brock and Stargo Projects are situated on the southern end of the Austin-Lovelock Trend, southwest of Eureka and northeast from Kinross Gold Corporation’s Round Mountain Mine, which placed as **the fourth largest gold mine in the U.S.**91 and, in November of 2018, poured its 15 millionth ounce of gold since beginning operations in 1978.96
The Fraser Institute just ranked this area as the top jurisdiction in the world for investment based on the Investment Attractiveness Index.55
The Buyout Scenario
Major Players Seeking New Acquisitions
Most major mining companies focus on their expertise, acquiring and bringing new mines online. They leave the exploration of high potential properties to the junior mining companies.
That’s why Element79 Gold (CSE:ELEM)’s proximity to so many majors is such a unique opportunity.
In fact, Barrick Gold has directly stated this in their 2020 annual report, *“The Carlin Trend remains a target rich environment. The 2019 program focused on merging massive datasets in support of geological modeling. Drilling was initiated to test highly ranked target concepts as well as establish a geological framework in priority areas lacking drill information. Looking forward, the Carlin Trend will become the most active exploration area in Barrick’s portfolio.“*117
On their own map, you can literally see Barrick and Newmont’s land holdings surrounding Element79 Gold (CSE:ELEM)’s Battle Mountain portfolio.
M&A Hungry Neighbors With Deep Pockets
With so many majors working alongside you, it’s hard not to be noticed.
Element79 Gold (CSE:ELEM) will undoubtedly be watched closely by all those in the surrounding area and positive drill results could quickly drive Element79 Gold to the top of every major producer’s M&A wish-list.

2023.03.29 14:22 ourpseudonym As Interest Rates Rose, Banks Did a Balance-Sheet Switcheroo (Available For Sale -> Held To Maturity)

Original article: https://www.wsj.com/articles/as-interest-rates-rose-banks-did-a-balance-sheet-switcheroo-8e71336f?mod=hp_lead_pos2
As the Federal Reserve’s interest-rate hikes sent bond prices plunging last year, some of the country’s largest banks used a simple accounting maneuver to help keep billions of dollars of losses from piling up on their books.
They declared that they intended to hold on to large portions of their money-losing bonds until they matured rather than selling them, and they then changed the bonds’ accounting labels accordingly. From then on, the bonds would be frozen in time, no matter how far their values fell in the market.
The Wall Street Journal identified six large U.S. banks including Charles Schwab Corp. SCHW -1.84%decrease; and PNC Financial Services Group Inc. PNC 1.47%increase; that together switched the classifications on more than $500 billion of their bond investments last year. For some banks, excluding the unrealized losses from their balance sheets allowed them to report robust levels of capital when in reality their assets were worth much less.
The collapse of Silicon Valley Bank has drawn fresh attention to a decades-old debate over the accounting rules. Current rules often let companies show vastly different values for the same assets, depending on what they claim they intend to do with them. In addition, the rules often let companies change their stated intentions midstream, which can have outsize impacts on how healthy their balance sheets look.
The six banks were able to flatter their balance sheets with a flick of the accounting ledger. Banks can hold assets as “available for sale,” which means they are valued using market prices. Another option is to call them “held to maturity,” meaning they won’t be sold. These bonds are held at the banks’ cost. The logic is that daily market prices aren’t relevant to assets that banks wouldn’t sell.
The banks’ held-to-maturity bonds had a combined $1.14 trillion balance-sheet value as of Dec. 31, up from $681 billion a year earlier. The increase was mainly due to the reclassifications.
The $1.14 trillion figure was $118 billion, or 12%, higher than the bonds’ fair-market values, disclosed in footnotes to the banks’ financial statements. The $118 billion was equivalent to 18% of the banks’ total equity, which is the difference between assets and liabilities.
A year earlier, the difference between the held-to-maturity bonds’ market value and balance-sheet value was negligible. Most of the securities were backed by the U.S. government. The amounts of the reclassifications were disclosed in the companies’ financial reports. The Journal found the six banks using data compiled by S&P Global.
The large gap between the stated values and actual values of banks’ assets has fueled growing concern about whether a significant portion of many banks’ capital is illusory. Capital is roughly synonymous with equity, and refers to the financial cushion a company has available to absorb future losses. Institutions including Charles Schwab changed the classifications of bond investments last year.Photo: Claudio Papapietro for The Wall Street Journal
The six banks’ reclassifications were part of an industrywide shift last year as bond prices fell. About 48% of securities held by U.S. banks were classified as held-to-maturity at the end of 2022, up from 34% a year earlier, according to Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. data. Unrealized losses on securities were $620 billion, of which $341 billion were on bonds dubbed held-to-maturity. The six banks’ unrealized losses on held-to-maturity securities accounted for 35% of the industry total.
The biggest such reclassification was by Charles Schwab, which is structured as a savings and loan holding company and regulated by the Fed. It transferred $188.6 billion of securities to the held-to-maturity category from available-for-sale. Schwab wasn’t labeling any of its bonds as held-to-maturity at the end of 2021.
PNC transferred $82.7 billion of bonds to held-to-maturity from available-for-sale. JPMorgan Chase JPM & Co. transferred $78.3 billion. Truist Financial Corp., TFC; Wells Fargo WFC & Co. and U.S. Bancorp USB; transferred $59.4 billion, $50.1 billion and $45.1 billion, respectively.
“This is an artificial accounting construct, not an economic measure of the value of the assets,” said Sandy Peters, head of financial reporting policy for the CFA Institute, which certifies chartered financial analysts. “The value of a bond doesn’t change based upon how management decides to classify it. It’s worth what it’s worth.”
Silicon Valley Bank’s parent, SVB Financial Group, didn’t reclassify any securities last year, and most of its bonds were labeled held-to-maturity from the get-go. That meant SVB had locked itself into a long-term bet that interest rates would stay low. The unrealized losses on those bonds at year-end were almost as large as SVB’s $16.3 billion of total equity. It couldn’t sell the bonds without booking losses and taking hits to capital.
By the end of last year, the fair-market value of Schwab’s held-to-maturity bonds was $14.1 billion less than their balance-sheet value. The unrealized losses were equivalent to 39% of Schwab’s total equity. The unrealized losses exceeded Schwab’s $6.2 billion of tangible common equity, which is a bare-bones capital metric that excludes preferred stock and intangible assets.
A Schwab spokeswoman pointed to a March 23 open letter by the company’s co-chairmen, Charles Schwab and Walt Bettinger. “Focusing attention on ‘unrealized losses’ in our held-to-maturity (HTM) portfolio is very misleading,” they said, adding that “there is a near-zero chance we’d need to sell any of our HTM portfolio before maturity.”
At Wells Fargo, unrealized losses on held-to-maturity securities were $41.5 billion, equivalent to 23% of total equity. At U.S. Bancorp, they were $10.9 billion, or 21% of total equity. At Truist, they were $9.9 billion, or 16% of total equity. The percentages at JPMorgan and PNC were 13% and 11%, respectively.
In their annual reports, most of the banks said they did the transfers to keep the fair-value changes out of their equity and capital metrics. In its annual report, PNC said it changed its intent for the securities “to reduce the impact of price volatility” on equity and capital. Truist said it made the transfers as the company “continues to execute upon its asset-liability management strategies.”
Wells Fargo said it made the transfers “to reposition the overall portfolio for capital management purposes.” JPMorgan cited “capital management purposes.”
Jeffrey Shelman, a U.S. Bancorp spokesman, said: “We are always making decisions to manage our balance sheet to ensure appropriate liquidity, balanced by the desire to mitigate the volatility that is associated with interest-rate movements.” Spokesmen for PNC, JPMorgan and Truist and a Wells Fargo spokeswoman declined to comment.

2023.03.29 14:22 Darkhoof The 10-K report states point-blank that the DTCC is MISREPORTING the number of shares it holds. This is big.

The 10-K report uses very different wording from previous 10-Q and even the previous 10-K report.
This report does not state the precise number of shares directly registered, as mentioned in the previous report. It mentions the number of shares claimed to be held by Cede & Co on behalf of the DTCC: 228.7 million. And that the remainder is held by record holders.
The use of the name of shares held by Cede & Co is the crucial part here. This is a VERY important detail. And I will show you why later. Lets start with the paragraph on the 10-K form:
Our Class A Common Stock is traded on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) under the symbol “GME”. As of March 22, 2023, there were 197,058 record holders of our Class A Common Stock. Excluding the approximately 228.7 million shares of our Class A Common Stock held by Cede & Co on behalf of the Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation (or approximately 75% of our outstanding shares), approximately 76.0 million shares of our Class A Common Stock were held by record holders as of March 22, 2023 (or approximately 25% of our outstanding shares).
Lets compare this with previous DRS number statements as per the 10-Q forms in Gamestop's investor relations website:
Q3 2022
As of October 29, 2022 and October 30, 2021 there were 7.3 million and 4.4 million, respectively, of unvested restricted stock and restricted stock units. As of October 29, 2022 and October 30, 2021 there were 311.6 million and 308.0 million, respectively, of shares of Class A common stock that are legally issued and outstanding or are unvested restricted share units that represent a right to one share of Class A Common Stock. As of October 29, 2022, 71.8 million shares of our Class A common stock were directly registered with our transfer agent.
Q2 2022
As of July 30, 2022 and July 31, 2021 there were 5.5 million and 3.6 million, respectively, of unvested restricted stock and restricted stock units. As of July 30, 2022 and July 31, 2021 there were 309.5 million and 306.0 million, respectively, of shares of Class A common stock that are legally issued and outstanding or are unvested restricted share units that represent a right to one share of Class A Common Stock. As of July 30, 2022, 71.3 million shares of our Class A common stock were directly registered with our transfer agent.
Q1 2022
As of April 30, 2022 and May 1, 2021 there were 1.4 million and 2.6 million, respectively, of unvested restricted stock and restricted stock units. As of April 30, 2022 and May 1, 2021 there were 77.3 million and 71.9 million, respectively, of shares of Class A common stock that are legally issued and outstanding or are unvested restricted share units that represent a right to one share of Class A Common Stock. As of April 30, 2022, 12.7 million shares of our Class A common stock were directly registered with our transfer agent.
The wording in the 10-K is very interesting. First, they provide us with a precise number of record holders: 197,058. Then, they provide us with the (claimed) approximate number of shares held by Cede & Co on behalf of the DTCC: 228.7M. Finally, the approximate number of shares held by record holders.
Now who is included in the record holders? This is the definition in previous reports: https://investor.gamestop.com/static-files/5a610aaf-6606-4173-86a1-cba6abdb204a
What is a registered shareholder? Registered shareholders, also known as "shareholders of record," are people or entities that hold shares directly in their own name on the company register. The issuer (or more usually its transfer agent, such as Computershare) keeps the records of ownership for the registered shareholders and provides services such as transferring shares, paying dividends, coordinating shareholder communications and more. Shares can be held in both electronic (book entry) through the Direct Registration System (DRS) or certificated form (when permitted by the issuer company).
From previous DD we know this includes not only household investors with directly registered shares, but also insiders that hold them with the transfer agent.
However, one important detail is that mutual funds DO NOT HOLD shares with Cede & Co (as stated by the SEC itself). I repeat mutual fund shares ARE NOT HELD at Cede & Co. Search the esse esse sub for i_asked_the_sec_if_etfs_index_funds_mutual_funds
My Question: Hi, I've been looking all over the place for an answer to this question and can't seem to find a definitive answer. When ETFs purchase shares, are they registered in their own name at the transfer agent, or does it go through Cede & Co like regular brokers? Also, is it the same for other institutions, such as pension funds, mutual funds, index funds, etc..? Thanks! SEC Answer: Dear ----: Thank you for contacting the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). You ask whether shares purchased by ETFs, pension funds, mutual funds, and index funds are registered in their own name at the transfer agent or if they go through Cede & Co. Mutual funds (including index funds) are not DTC-eligible (Depository Trust Company). They are purchased and redeemed (no secondary market) between brokers and mutual fund entities (technically transfer agents, often part of the fund organization, or a third-party processor). The National Securities Clearing Corporation (NSCC) has a platform called Fund/SERV and a related service called Networking that connect brokers placing and settling mutual fund orders with fund transfer agents.
Cede & Co is the nominee name for the DTC but Mutual Funds are not DTC-eligible. What does this mean?
https://www.nasdaq.com/glossary/c/cede
Cede & Co. Nominee name for The Depository Trust Company, a large clearing house that holds shares in its name for banks, brokers and institutions in order to expedite the sale and transfer of stock.
https://www.lexology.com/library/detail.aspx?g=ad927cbb-3afa-4df2-820b-53c7e687b4f2
Companies that regularly engage with securities are likely to interact with the Depository Trust Company (DTC). The DTC is the world’s largest central securities depository. Based in New York City, the the company is responsible for electronic record-keeping of securities balances. It also acts as a clearinghouse for securities trade settlements. The Basics Founded in 1973, the DTC’s goal is to improve efficiencies and reduce risks in the securities market. Most banks and broker-dealers are DTC participants. The Depository Trust and Clearing Company (DTCC), a holding company, owns the DTC. The company manages book entry securities transfers. It also provides custody services for stock certificates. Book-entry refers to uncertificated securities. Users employ an electronic tracking system for purchasing, holding, and transferring book-entry securities. This contrasts with certificated securities, which have physical stock certificates associated with them. Most investors who use a broker hold securities in book-entry form. The two major U.S. stock exchanges, NYSE and NASDAQ, require all listed equity securities to be eligible for a direct registration system (DRS), an electronic book-entry system for recording securities ownership. Cede & Company is the main custodial nominee that the DTC designates to be the holder of record of the securities it manages that are in its custody. Cede & Co. is a specialized financial institution. Securities will be deposited with or on behalf of DTC and registered in the name of Cede & Co., as the nominee of the company.
From the previous quarter where we know that 71.8 million shares were registered by household investors, we know that 32,875,174 are held by mutual funds according to computershared.net and Insiders hold at least 38,513,981. We can assume that some of the insiders hold them with the transfer agent, we just don't know who does. WE KNOW, PER THE SEC's OWN WORDS, THAT MUTUAL FUNDS SHARES AREN'T HELD BY THE DTC UNDER ITS CUSTODIAL NOMINEE CEDE & CO. THEY ARE NOT DTC-ELIGIBLE.
What this means is that from the 308 million shares available at least 110.31 million are not held by Cede & Co. But Cede & Co states they hold 228.7 million shares. The float is at 308 million shares. Where is this discrepancy coming from?
TLDR:
Therefore, my interpretation of the 10-K form can only be one: Gamestop with this 10-k form just stated to all the relevant financial authorities and to the entire world that the DTCC and Cede & Co are misreporting the number of shares they hold. They DO NOT hold Mutual Funds shares as stated by the SEC itself. If you remove mutual funds and household investor shares from the float only 197.69 (nice) million shares that Cede & Co could reasonably claim as being held by them.

Companies that regularly engage with securities are likely to interact with the Depository Trust Company (DTC). The DTC is the world’s largest central securities depository. Based in New York City, the the company is responsible for electronic record-keeping of securities balances. It also acts as a clearinghouse for securities trade settlements. The Basics Founded in 1973, the DTC’s goal is to improve efficiencies and reduce risks in the securities market. Most banks and broker-dealers are DTC participants. The Depository Trust and Clearing Company (DTCC), a holding company, owns the DTC. The company manages book entry securities transfers. It also provides custody services for stock certificates. Book-entry refers to uncertificated securities. Users employ an electronic tracking system for purchasing, holding, and transferring book-entry securities. This contrasts with certificated securities, which have physical stock certificates associated with them. Most investors who use a broker hold securities in book-entry form. The two major U.S. stock exchanges, NYSE and NASDAQ, require all listed equity securities to be eligible for a direct registration system (DRS), an electronic book-entry system for recording securities ownership. Cede & Company is the main custodial nominee that the DTC designates to be the holder of record of the securities it manages that are in its custody. Cede & Co. is a specialized financial institution. Securities will be deposited with or on behalf of DTC and registered in the name of Cede & Co., as the nominee of the company.
From the previous quarter where we know that 71.8 million shares were registered by household investors, we know that 32,875,174 are held by mutual funds according to computershared.net and Insiders hold at least 38,513,981. We can assume that some of the insiders hold them with the transfer agent, we just don't know who does. WE KNOW, PER THE SEC's OWN WORDS, THAT MUTUAL FUNDS SHARES AREN'T HELD BY THE DTC UNDER ITS CUSTODIAL NOMINEE CEDE & CO. THEY ARE NOT DTC-ELIGIBLE.
What this means is that from the 308 million shares available at least 110.31 million are not held by Cede & Co. But Cede & Co states they hold 228.7 million shares. The float is at 308 million shares. Where is this discrepancy coming from?
TLDR:
Therefore, my interpretation of the 10-K form can only be one: Gamestop with this 10-k form just stated to all the relevant financial authorities and to the entire world that the DTCC and Cede & Co are misreporting the number of shares they hold. They DO NOT hold Mutual Funds shares as stated by the SEC itself. If you remove mutual funds and household investor shares from the float only 197.69 (nice) million shares that Cede & Co could reasonably claim as being held by them.

2023.03.29 14:18 Working_Ad_2918 WWYD?

A few years bk I was drugged , attacked and allergic to the drugs (I dnt do them ever) and ended up in n out of a coma like state for 3 months… to make things worse they called anonymously and said I beat my kids or whatever to get the heat off them as I was trying to report it before being in the hospital. Fast forward a few years I’m ok now and kids r home safe. Of course we went thru all the process and just finished trauma therapy. Well where I volunteer all a sudden they have jus started. I never really said the persons name to ppl they jus new what happened from visiting in the hospital to helping w the kids. If I did mention her name idk they remember I didn’t go with a pic or anything and I haven’t seen her in years but the last 6 months now I’m suddenly bumping into her around town n now my 1 safe space. (Yes it’s female to female). Just looking for advice on how you all handle this type of situation? I jus feel stuck like I dnt even want to be there to help anymore. I dnt want to talk to her cause I know what she’s capable of and it’s not worth the chaos she causes obviously. Thank u 🙏🏽

2023.03.29 14:16 Darkhoof The 10-K report states point-blank that the DTCC is MISREPORTING the number of shares it holds. This is big. This is the kill shot.

The 10-K report uses very different wording from previous 10-Q and even the previous 10-K report.
This report does not state the precise number of shares directly registered, as mentioned in the previous report. It mentions the number of shares claimed to be held by Cede & Co on behalf of the DTCC: 228.7 million. And that the remainder is held by record holders.
The use of the name of shares held by Cede & Co is the crucial part here. This is a VERY important detail. And I will show you why later. Lets start with the paragraph on the 10-K form:
Our Class A Common Stock is traded on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) under the symbol “GME”. As of March 22, 2023, there were 197,058 record holders of our Class A Common Stock. Excluding the approximately 228.7 million shares of our Class A Common Stock held by Cede & Co on behalf of the Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation (or approximately 75% of our outstanding shares), approximately 76.0 million shares of our Class A Common Stock were held by record holders as of March 22, 2023 (or approximately 25% of our outstanding shares).
Lets compare this with previous DRS number statements as per the 10-Q forms in Gamestop's investor relations website:
Q3 2022
As of October 29, 2022 and October 30, 2021 there were 7.3 million and 4.4 million, respectively, of unvested restricted stock and restricted stock units. As of October 29, 2022 and October 30, 2021 there were 311.6 million and 308.0 million, respectively, of shares of Class A common stock that are legally issued and outstanding or are unvested restricted share units that represent a right to one share of Class A Common Stock. As of October 29, 2022, 71.8 million shares of our Class A common stock were directly registered with our transfer agent.
Q2 2022
As of July 30, 2022 and July 31, 2021 there were 5.5 million and 3.6 million, respectively, of unvested restricted stock and restricted stock units. As of July 30, 2022 and July 31, 2021 there were 309.5 million and 306.0 million, respectively, of shares of Class A common stock that are legally issued and outstanding or are unvested restricted share units that represent a right to one share of Class A Common Stock. As of July 30, 2022, 71.3 million shares of our Class A common stock were directly registered with our transfer agent.
Q1 2022
As of April 30, 2022 and May 1, 2021 there were 1.4 million and 2.6 million, respectively, of unvested restricted stock and restricted stock units. As of April 30, 2022 and May 1, 2021 there were 77.3 million and 71.9 million, respectively, of shares of Class A common stock that are legally issued and outstanding or are unvested restricted share units that represent a right to one share of Class A Common Stock. As of April 30, 2022, 12.7 million shares of our Class A common stock were directly registered with our transfer agent.
The wording in the 10-K is very interesting. First, they provide us with a precise number of record holders: 197,058. Then, they provide us with the (claimed) approximate number of shares held by Cede & Co on behalf of the DTCC: 228.7M. Finally, the approximate number of shares held by record holders.
Now who is included in the record holders? This is the definition in previous reports: https://investor.gamestop.com/static-files/5a610aaf-6606-4173-86a1-cba6abdb204a
What is a registered shareholder? Registered shareholders, also known as "shareholders of record," are people or entities that hold shares directly in their own name on the company register. The issuer (or more usually its transfer agent, such as Computershare) keeps the records of ownership for the registered shareholders and provides services such as transferring shares, paying dividends, coordinating shareholder communications and more. Shares can be held in both electronic (book entry) through the Direct Registration System (DRS) or certificated form (when permitted by the issuer company).
From previous DD we know this includes not only household investors with directly registered shares, but also insiders that hold them with the transfer agent.
However, one important detail is that mutual funds DO NOT HOLD shares with Cede & Co (as stated by the SEC itself). I repeat mutual fund shares ARE NOT HELD at Cede & Co. Search the esse esse sub for i_asked_the_sec_if_etfs_index_funds_mutual_funds
My Question: Hi, I've been looking all over the place for an answer to this question and can't seem to find a definitive answer. When ETFs purchase shares, are they registered in their own name at the transfer agent, or does it go through Cede & Co like regular brokers? Also, is it the same for other institutions, such as pension funds, mutual funds, index funds, etc..? Thanks! SEC Answer: Dear ----: Thank you for contacting the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). You ask whether shares purchased by ETFs, pension funds, mutual funds, and index funds are registered in their own name at the transfer agent or if they go through Cede & Co. Mutual funds (including index funds) are not DTC-eligible (Depository Trust Company). They are purchased and redeemed (no secondary market) between brokers and mutual fund entities (technically transfer agents, often part of the fund organization, or a third-party processor). The National Securities Clearing Corporation (NSCC) has a platform called Fund/SERV and a related service called Networking that connect brokers placing and settling mutual fund orders with fund transfer agents.
Cede & Co is the nominee name for the DTC but Mutual Funds are not DTC-eligible. What does this mean?

2023.03.29 14:15 StepwiseUndrape574 A few questions before buying a mod menu

Hi, i've been thinking about getting a menu and I found Stand Regular. It's at the top of what I'm willing to pay but seems worth the money.
But I wanted to ask a few things from people who have some experience modding:
1.Is that a good choice? I don't need some options, mostly just making money(from missions, not by adding artificially) crash protections, teleport and other quality of life changes, i wouldn't be needing any griefing tools or anything that interferes with other players.
2.I understand it's an internal menu, running as part of the game. How can it avoid detection by Rockstar Launcher checking the game files? Won't it get me banned for just being there?
3.Is the site I'm looking at, stand.gg, legit?
4.Is there a way to see when a Rockstar employee is spectating me? As far as I know you can get banned by auto detection of cheated money/cars, by getting reported for cheating in a public session, or by an admin who decides to take a look at what you're doing and witnesses you cheating. Can the menu prevent or warn me about the last one?
5.Are menus like Stand fun to use for someone not amused by griefing and aimbotting? As in, are there some fun things to do not designed to ruin the fun of others?
Sorry if the questions are dumb, but I've only ever used Menyoo for singleplayer and Modest Menu before for a while so I don't know much about mods, and I don't want to waste money by rushing it. Any answers and opinions are appreciated, thanks!

2023.03.29 14:10 Mclosing-it Have you ever made a complaint about another employee?

I’m one to let my managers know if I see something off, which honestly doesn’t happen often, and my last issue I was able to talk out with management and the coworker involved. To my knowledge, it was never escalated to an official complaint or issue.
I was asked to write down an official complaint about one of the newer employees. I recently became a crew trainer so I was appointed as their trainer in back booth for a couple of hours. There I noticed that they were not the best at taking orders or navigating the menu. Understandable for a new hire, right? This man claims to have been with McDonald’s for almost 2 decades, knows the menu top to bottom and confidently offers to do manager tasks often. Honestly, I believe he’s full of it, solely based on his performance. Regardless of all this I did my best and all they did was ignore me or disregard all training provided. “I already know all this shit.” Vibes were off to say the least.
The very first day we met he made a joke about how he only joined McDonald’s, particularly service, so he could give pretty girls his number. That day in back booth I realized it was NOT a joke. I was taking cash and he took orders, stated he wanted nothing to do with people at the window. But lo and behold, the second a “pretty” girl pulled up, he would stop taking orders and interrupt our transactions just to hit on them. “You have such a beautiful smile I just HAD to let you know” Then to me he’d rave about how hot they were and how they were his type. “Your eyes are absolutely stunning, blah blah, unlike this one’s” He said pointing at me. I was shocked at the audacity but homegirl at the window was a regular and set him straight before I had the chance to. I personally found this disrespectful, specially for someone trying to sneak their way into management like that.
I mentioned all this to the shift manager and clearly upset that’s when they asked me to write down the complaint. While doing so a crew member approached me with a confession about the same employee I was writing the report on. They said he had made them incredibly uncomfortable during their break that day. He asked for their age, commented on the size of their body and how they were just too small to have a Big Mac “girls don’t eat Big Macs” i believe he said. Said they looked too innocent to have a boyfriend or a hickey on their neck along with other bs. When asked for their name the only thing he had to say was “Hm, name, I used to have a sugar baby that worked at Mcdonald’s with that name.” The way he looked at them creeped them out after this statement.
This upset me even more so I ended up writing a complaint with them as well and we both signed off on it. It’s been almost a week since I made the report and return to work tomorrow. I hope he’s at least had a talk with management about his behavior.
Anyone here had to go trough something similar?

2023.03.29 14:08 HasonKenji Kizana Elimination Concept

This concept will take place as three different ones.
I did it this way to show three possible ways you could eliminate Kizana, this goes from easy to difficult.

Tampering with Kizana's Makeup

Monday - Week 3

Lunch time Monday

Tuesday

Tuesday Lunch Time

Wednesday doesn't have any notable events. You can do Kizana's task where she bickers about Kokona's hairstyle though.

Thursday

Pretending to be Kizana

Monday week 3

Monday after school


Monday Night

Tuesday

Wednesday

Thursday

Friday

Kokona snaps.

Monday - Week 3

Tuesday

Wednesday

Thursday

Thursday evening

Around thursday evening you kidnap Kizana and tie her up in an old abandoned warehouse in the middle of the forest close to Akademi high. You hand Kokona a bat. She says she's not sure if she wants to do this anymore. Here is the following dialogue I came up with;
Kizana: "I've heard that voice before. Kokona. What the hell?! Did I really get kidnapped by a slut such as yourself? Pathetic." Kokona: "What? Who the fuck are you calling a slut?" Kizana: "Don't play dumb. The whole school knows you sleep with men for money, not to mention you LOOVE the attention of them! That's the reason you pretend to be me, right? So you can be pretty?" Kokona: "I don't sleep with them! I just go to dinner with them, it goes no further than that." Kizana: "*SCOFFS* That's a fuckin' laugh. No way a busty girl such as yourself doesn't use her assets for cash." Kokona: "I-I never asked for my body to look like this!" Kizana: "But I bet you loathe the attention your huge tits and pretty looks get you, right?" Kokona: "I Don't keep any of the money I make, I give it all to my dad. He needs it more than me." Kizana: "How pathetic. You're meant to be milking cash from your dad. Not the other way around!" Kokona: "I Give my earnings to my dad so he can pay off his dept to Musume's dad!" The rest of the dialogue is the same as the "driving my rival to murder".

You can then get Kokona to chop up Kizana and flush her down the toilet, dispose of her in a neighbors bin or simply just clean up for you. Both of you leave and Kizana is reported Missing.

2023.03.29 14:04 88Adison22 Update on my economic plan. What are the key infrastructure areas and public sectors I would focus on . Post #2

In the first post I assumed the government and BDL would have $70bn of reserves. 76% of them are assets and the rest liabilities (loans).
The plan for infrastructure: 1-Airport expansion ($2bn) 2-Ports expansion, Beirut & Tripoli ($3bn) 3-Highways ($4bn) 4-Railways ($3bn) 5-Tunnels ($1.5bn) 6-Oil Refinery expansion, Tripoli ($2bn) 7-LNG Facility*, Tripoli ($6.5bn) 8-Energy, Gas powered stations ($4bn) 9-Internet & Telecom ($1bn) 10-Land reclamation ($0.2bn)
*Liquified natural gas facility, brings gas thru pipelines, turns gas into liquid and load it into LNG ships that would sell it in global markets. (details in another post)
This equals $27.2bn, however many of the projects are either partially or completely owned by private sector or foreign investors. That would leave the Lebanese state with a $17bn bill. Sectors like internet and telecom would be completely owned by private sector. Others would be partially owned (majority ownership in most cases)
For the public sector: 1-Middle east airlines expansion: $5bn 2-Public Schools: $3bn 3-Public Universities: $4bn 4-Public Hospitals: $3bn
Total $15bn. Private sector (mostly foreign institutional investors) would fund half of the MEA fleet expansion. That would leave the state with a $12.5 bill.
State Owned Holding Company: This would own several companies that are either run or own sectors. This company would own: 1-Ports (50%) $2.25bn 2-Refinery (75%) $1.5bn 3-Energy sector (50%) $5bn 4-LNG Facility (75%) $5bn 5-Railways (60%) $1.5bn 6-Airlines (50%) $6bn 7-Airport (50%) $1.8bn 8-Entertainment company $3bn 9-Real Estate company $1bn Total value or Market Cap $36bn
Take the valuations with a grain of salt, I assumed the value of the assets (book value) + 25% premium assuming that they are properly managed and make profit.
The goal of this company is to manage this portfolio of businesses on the behalf of the state, the company would legally own these businesses and assets. At a $36bn market cap, the company would list 10% of its shares on the Beirut Stock Exchange, raising $3.6bn in cash in exchange which can be used for further expansions, infrastructure projects, acquiring businesses, or different investments for the state.
In my next post, I will go into details on the plan to expand the operations and capacity of Beirut Airport and Middle East Airlines, how they would be restructured and managed and how would that be a key strategy to potentially quadruple the size of the tourism sector. After that, another post with details for the ports and railways.

2023.03.29 14:04 Darkhoof The 10-K report states point-blank that the DTCC is MISREPORTING the number of shares it holds. This is big. This is the kill shot.

The 10-K report uses very different wording from previous 10-Q and even the previous 10-K report.
This report does not state the precise number of shares directly registered, as mentioned in the previous report. It mentions the number of shares claimed to be held by Cede & Co on behalf of the DTCC: 228.7 million. And that the remainder is held by record holders.
The use of the name of shares held by Cede & Co is the crucial part here. This is a VERY important detail. And I will show you why later. Lets start with the paragraph on the 10-K form:
Our Class A Common Stock is traded on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) under the symbol “GME”. As of March 22, 2023, there were 197,058 record holders of our Class A Common Stock. Excluding the approximately 228.7 million shares of our Class A Common Stock held by Cede & Co on behalf of the Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation (or approximately 75% of our outstanding shares), approximately 76.0 million shares of our Class A Common Stock were held by record holders as of March 22, 2023 (or approximately 25% of our outstanding shares).
Lets compare this with previous DRS number statements as per the 10-Q forms in Gamestop's investor relations website:
Q3 2022
As of October 29, 2022 and October 30, 2021 there were 7.3 million and 4.4 million, respectively, of unvested restricted stock and restricted stock units. As of October 29, 2022 and October 30, 2021 there were 311.6 million and 308.0 million, respectively, of shares of Class A common stock that are legally issued and outstanding or are unvested restricted share units that represent a right to one share of Class A Common Stock. As of October 29, 2022, 71.8 million shares of our Class A common stock were directly registered with our transfer agent.
Q2 2022
As of July 30, 2022 and July 31, 2021 there were 5.5 million and 3.6 million, respectively, of unvested restricted stock and restricted stock units. As of July 30, 2022 and July 31, 2021 there were 309.5 million and 306.0 million, respectively, of shares of Class A common stock that are legally issued and outstanding or are unvested restricted share units that represent a right to one share of Class A Common Stock. As of July 30, 2022, 71.3 million shares of our Class A common stock were directly registered with our transfer agent.
Q1 2022
As of April 30, 2022 and May 1, 2021 there were 1.4 million and 2.6 million, respectively, of unvested restricted stock and restricted stock units. As of April 30, 2022 and May 1, 2021 there were 77.3 million and 71.9 million, respectively, of shares of Class A common stock that are legally issued and outstanding or are unvested restricted share units that represent a right to one share of Class A Common Stock. As of April 30, 2022, 12.7 million shares of our Class A common stock were directly registered with our transfer agent.
The wording in the 10-K is very interesting. First, they provide us with a precise number of record holders: 197,058. Then, they provide us with the (claimed) approximate number of shares held by Cede & Co on behalf of the DTCC: 228.7M. Finally, the approximate number of shares held by record holders.
Now who is included in the record holders? This is the definition in previous reports: https://investor.gamestop.com/static-files/5a610aaf-6606-4173-86a1-cba6abdb204a

Shares can be held in both electronic (book entry) through the Direct Registration System (DRS) or certificated form (when permitted by the issuer company).
From previous DD we know this includes not only household investors with directly registered shares, but also insiders that hold them with the transfer agent.
However, one important detail is that mutual funds DO NOT HOLD shares with Cede & Co (as stated by the SEC itself). I repeat mutual fund shares ARE NOT HELD at Cede & Co. https://www.reddit.com/Superstonk/comments/xdayfk/i_asked_the_sec_if_etfs_index_funds_mutual_funds/
My Question:
Hi, I've been looking all over the place for an answer to this question and can't seem to find a definitive answer. When ETFs purchase shares, are they registered in their own name at the transfer agent, or does it go through Cede & Co like regular brokers? Also, is it the same for other institutions, such as pension funds, mutual funds, index funds, etc..? Thanks!
SEC Answer:
Dear ----:
Thank you for contacting the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
You ask whether shares purchased by ETFs, pension funds, mutual funds, and index funds are registered in their own name at the transfer agent or if they go through Cede & Co.
Mutual funds (including index funds) are not DTC-eligible (Depository Trust Company). They are purchased and redeemed (no secondary market) between brokers and mutual fund entities (technically transfer agents, often part of the fund organization, or a third-party processor). The National Securities Clearing Corporation (NSCC) has a platform called Fund/SERV and a related service called Networking that connect brokers placing and settling mutual fund orders with fund transfer agents.
Cede & Co is the nominee name for the DTC but Mutual Funds are not DTC-eligible. What does this mean?
https://www.nasdaq.com/glossary/c/cede
Cede & Co. Nominee name for The Depository Trust Company, a large clearing house that holds shares in its name for banks, brokers and institutions in order to expedite the sale and transfer of stock.

Companies that regularly engage with securities are likely to interact with the Depository Trust Company (DTC). The DTC is the world’s largest central securities depository. Based in New York City, the the company is responsible for electronic record-keeping of securities balances. It also acts as a clearinghouse for securities trade settlements.
The Basics
Founded in 1973, the DTC’s goal is to improve efficiencies and reduce risks in the securities market. Most banks and broker-dealers are DTC participants. The Depository Trust and Clearing Company (DTCC), a holding company, owns the DTC.
The company manages book entry securities transfers. It also provides custody services for stock certificates. Book-entry refers to uncertificated securities. Users employ an electronic tracking system for purchasing, holding, and transferring book-entry securities. This contrasts with certificated securities, which have physical stock certificates associated with them. Most investors who use a broker hold securities in book-entry form. The two major U.S. stock exchanges, NYSE and NASDAQ, require all listed equity securities to be eligible for a direct registration system (DRS), an electronic book-entry system for recording securities ownership.
Cede & Company is the main custodial nominee that the DTC designates to be the holder of record of the securities it manages that are in its custody. Cede & Co. is a specialized financial institution. Securities will be deposited with or on behalf of DTC and registered in the name of Cede & Co., as the nominee of the company.
From the previous quarter where we know that 71.8 million shares were registered by household investors, we know that 32,875,174 are held by mutual funds according to computershared.net and Insiders hold at least 38,513,981. We can assume that some of the insiders hold them with the transfer agent, we just don't know who does. WE KNOW, PER THE SEC's OWN WORDS, THAT MUTUAL FUNDS SHARES AREN'T HELD BY THE DTC UNDER ITS CUSTODIAL NOMINEE CEDE & CO. THEY ARE NOT DTC-ELIGIBLE.
What this means is that from the 308 million shares available at least 110.31 million are not held by Cede & Co. But Cede & Co states they hold 228.7 million shares. The float is at 308 million shares. Where is this discrepancy coming from?
TLDR:
Therefore, my interpretation of the 10-K form can only be one: Gamestop with this 10-k form just stated to all the relevant financial authorities and to the entire world that the DTCC and Cede & Co are misreporting the number of shares they hold. They DO NOT hold Mutual Funds shares as stated by the SEC itself. If you remove mutual funds and household investor shares from the float only 197.69 (nice) million shares that Cede & Co could reasonably claim as being held by them.

Research Accreditation and Reputation.
Before hiring an investigator it’s important to do your research. Not all investigators have the same experience and qualifications, so it pays to find a reputable professional with the necessary accreditation. Look for a private investigator who has up-to-date professional memberships and comprehensive training on investigative techniques. Additionally, check out customer reviews of the investigator or agency you’re considering in order to ensure they will offer quality services.
Check References of the Private Investigator.
Once you’ve narrowed down your list to a few potential private investigators, the next step is to check their references. Ask for a list of clients that have received similar services from the investigator you’re considering, and contact them for honest feedback about their experience. You should also request evidence of successful cases the investigator has handled in the past, such as police reports or court documents. By taking these steps you can ensure you will hire an ethical and experienced professional private investigator.
Verify License, Insurance and Experience.
Before you hire a private investigator, make sure they have the necessary licenses and insurance in your state. You should also verify they take the appropriate continuing education courses to maintain their license and stay up-to-date with industry best practices. Additionally, you may want to inquire about any special training or certification that proves their level of experience in the type of investigation services you need.
Establish Fee Structure for Services Rendered.
Before beginning any work, you and the private investigator should agree upon a fee structure up front. This should include an hourly rate, per diem expenses, and any other applicable fees such as travel expenses or technology costs if applicable. Some investigators may also have additional charges for services like authentication and authentication of court-admissible documents, so make sure all these details are sorted out early on.
Set a Timeline and Define Clear Goals and Expectations.
Before hiring a private investigator, it’s important to set clear expectations. Make sure you and the investigator both agree on a timeline for the investigation, as well as a clear list of goals and outcomes that you expect from the investigation. This helps ensure your expectations are met and that you get the most out of your hired investigator.

2023.03.29 13:59 dreftzg [Daily News] Watches and Wonders Is Slowing Down; IWC Shows A Great Blue Ceramic Pilot; Grand Seiko Goes Pink Dial On Pink Gold and Patek Has A Different Grand Complication

It's Wednesday and Watches and Wonders is finally widing down a little bit. We're still catching up with some of the news from the show, but it's nowhere as packed as the last two days so we're going back to our usual format. Let's dive in:

What's new

IWC Pilot Watches Get Four New Updates - A Gorgeous Blue Ceramic And Shiny Green Perpetual Calendar
Patek Philippe Introduces A Slightly Different Grand Complications With The 5316P
The new 5316P is not your run-of-the-mill grand complication. It features tourbillon, perpetual calendar and minute repeater complications in a 40mm platinum case topped by a smoky sapphire dial that shows off the insides and that’s somewhat of a departure from classically styled Grand Complications pieces. There aren’t a lot of platinum minute repeaters, as the density of the case muffles the sound of the chimes. It’s a beautiful piece and price is on request.
Grand Seiko Upgrades The Best Selling SBGA413 "Shunbun" With A Rose Gold Case With A Pink Dial
Grand Seiko introduces the new SBGY026 "Hana-ikada" model, which is basically the SBGA413 "Shunbun" in a rose gold case with a pale pink dial and limited to 100 pieces. People who have seen the watch live call it a stunner, especially because of the dial - which has no rehaut, no date, no power reserve and no distraction - that curves slightly to follow the matching curve of the crystal.
Inside the SBGY026 is the manual-wind Spring Drive caliber 9R31. The rose gold case measures 38.5mm x 10.2mm. The new SBGY026 has a retail price of $27,500.
Two New Models For Bell & Ross - A White-Dialed Bronze Diver And A Blue-Dialed Steel GMT
New Modern Material And Bright Colours For The Sportiest Hermès H08
Unveiled in 2021, the Hermès H08 is the luxury French brand‘s sporty-chic watch. Now they introduce four new H08 models for Watches & Wonders 2023 feature a new lightweight composite case coupled with a grainy textured grey dial with colourful accents and matching rubber straps.
The 39 × 39mm case is crafted from a block of braided glass fibre composite coated with aluminium and slate powder, while the black ceramic bezel displays a sunburst-brushed finish. The dial of the H08 has an industrial concrete colour and a grained, gritty texture. The sea of grey is interrupted with splashes of color - blue green, orange and yellow - on the 5-minute markers of the minute track, the varnished seconds hand and the watch glass seal.
The new Hermès H08 models are presented on matching coloured rubber straps embossed with a woven pattern and retail for EUR 7,000.
Montblanc Introduces A Little Less Limited New Minerva Monopusher Chronograph
Montblanc purchased the famed manufacturer Minerva in 2007 and have since proudly expressed this heritage. For example, last year at W&W they introduced two limited editions of the Unveiled Secret Minerva Monopusher Chronograph in Lime Gold (limited edition of 18 pieces) and stainless steel (limited to 58 pieces).
Those were very limited, so now they’re showing the new Montblanc Unveiled Secret Minerva Monopusher Chronograph which will be limited to 88 pieces. The watch features the Minerva MB M16.29 movement, flipped back to front and exposed under an openworked dial, while the 43mm case features a distressed steel finish achieved through coating the stainless steel in black, then manually washing and brushing it with quartzite from the mountain Mont Blanc and limestone from La Combe Grède, the mountain opposite the Villeret Manfacture where Minerva is located. Price is EUR 42,000.
The Chanel J12 Eclipse Boxed Set Has A J12 For Every Day Of The Week
Chanel can try as much as they want to escape their status of just a fashion brand that makes fashion watches, but it’s an impossible mission. While they have some interesting pieces that use ceramics, they’re of not much interest. So why feature them there? I found something interesting about Chanel watches! The J12 Eclipse Boxed set mimics an actual eclipse moving over the seven watches in the box, from full white to full black ceramics, and very cool two-tone gradients in between.
LVMH Is Bringing Back The Gerald Genta Name, Just Like Daniel Roth
A week after they announced the first new watch under the Daniel Roth name (but not actually made by Roth), LVMH announces they will be reviving another brand that was owned by Bvlgari, just like Roth. They will be remaking the Gerald Genta brand with the master watchmakers of La Fabrique du Temps Louis Vuitton, LVMH’s state-of-the-art watchmaking factory in Switzerland. FT reports that Genta’s widow is backing up the whole process, giving her green light on the relaunch, while continuing her task of securing the legacy of her husband.
The first models should come out in 2024 and it is said that the brand will focus on high-end watchmaking and forward-looking conception, not vintage revival.

Watch Worthy - A look at an offbeat, less known watch you might actually like

Introducing: Trilobe Une Folle Journée Dune
A year after the release of the Une Folle Journée collection, Trilobe adds the brand-new Dune version. Trilobe makes a small change with big results for an all-around rather spectacular watch. Une folle journée is French for “a crazy day,” and this is quite applicable here. It is not often that you run into a day displayed in three elevated circles, but that is what you get here.
