Welcome to the Taking Stock Community!
What is Taking Stock?
Taking Stock is a weekly podcast focused on different financial topics, and always canted towards evaluating the investing landscape from a pro-retail and advocacy focused perspective. Taking Stock is hosted by members of the Direct Registration volunteer team which host the DRSGME.org and WhyDRS.org advocacy websites alongside this WhyNotDRS Lemmy instance.
What is Direct Registration?
Direct Registration is a method by which investors can choose to plan securities which they have purchased using a broker and at the market under their own name. By default, shares purchased are kept under the name of a central depository called Cede and Co rather than owned in the name of the investor. Direct Registration comes with various benefits such as having an easier time voting, submitting information to the company, preventing share lending without consent, and insulating from broker insolvency.

I would like to make a suggestion: Can you post a link to this podcast from the drsgme.org website please?
Just saw this message! That is a good idea, and we could add it. It’s not a GME specific podcast but still interesting to that demographic. Any thoughts on where it would be best listed?
No preference about where to post the link to the podcast. Perhaps alongside the links to the other social media platforms.
