      DWAC is, largely, the precursor to DRS. Some companies/stocks make it available, I guess, but not all. I’m not sure, exactly, myself. From what I’ve read, there’s a good chance it’s better than DRS in any realistic terms.

      Ha ha. I’ll go over the DWAC process in the next space call or two. It felt sort of like walking into a Verizon mobile store and asking to use the pay phone they said they had available upon request.

        If you’re in Portland then you can ask to use the telegraph.

    Interesting. What are the advantages, in your view, of DWAC versus DRS? Does it place more pressure on the broker, DTC or Market Makers to locate real shares than DRS does? Or something else?
