  • “DRS 200k accounts 25% stuck in IRA” is a conservative percentage. The Google share count surveys have suggested the 200k Computershare accounts have 30-40% additional shares stuck in IRAs.

    Can you elaborate on what is meant by the “DRS 200k accounts 25% stuck in IRA” ? Are those brokerage held IRAs, Mainstar, or something else?

      From Richard Newton’s google surveys. I’ll have to go through his recent videos–thought he mentioned 30-50% stuck in IRA accounts, etc but will double check.

    This is excellent, thanks for posting this.

    Wondering if somebody could please explain:

    1. what are “Insiders Stagnant” shares?
    2. where does the information come from regarding the ~18.9 million shares of “DRS 200k accounts 25% stuck in IRA” ?
    • @regolithEnglish

      Insiders Stagnant generally refers to shares held by people that used to be insiders (former CEOs, and other executives). It is not known whether they have sold their shares or not.

      1. @[email protected] 's post near the end explains Insiders Stagnant.

    So is the DRS count stagnant now ? Where did the shares for insiders come from ? If the float is locked. Where are new shares to be bought coming from?

    There isn’t a infinity pool of shares ? If Drs has locked/ removed 75mil. Basically half the float of 150. The other half is likely bought just not DRS.

    Is it loans from insiders ? Or institutes

    • @lovetoburstOPEnglish

      Depends on your definition of stagnation. DRS is around 5,405 shares a day since 6/20/2023 Mainstar rugpull of -1.27 million shares.

      The 38.54 million shares of Cohen, Nir, Alain, Lawrence, James, Xu, and Moore are either purchased in the market or granted from I believe the GameStop share pool. I think this pool’s number is listed somewhere in a SEC form.

      From the last Form 10-Q the last 3 months ended July 29, 2023 the number of outstanding shares increased 600,000. For last 6 months it increased 700,000. Stock vests around the shareholder meeting. Something like 8,772 shares granted to each board member. And they’ve been awarding longer term store employees with shares the past year or so.

      Others can explain number of shares far better than me. I think there were a couple reddit posts over the summer looking into the amount of shorts and shares over the outstanding.

      lawsondt’s Bloomberg data post lists institutions holding GME. The usual suspects lending millions of shares out.

        I think just the standard definition. Not moving. Slowly to a crawl. Did the needle move at all on last share meeting?

        So should be just under 2 million a year ? Are DRS numbers ticking towards that ?

        But do we as shareholders know where that actually comes from ? If the float is locked then there shouldn’t really be any shares to pick up. Obviously there’s institutes and regular investor’s that can sell.

        Is there any way to tell if these shares are loaned or actually bought ? Does RC and suck DRS ?

        Ah so they are diluting the shares a bit with a few million shares being available then.

        Good to know. I’m not on Reddit anymore so I barely see anything about gme. Not much seems to be happening since all the commotion.

        Shame, could have potentially changed the world but seems to be fizzling out. Maybe something will jumpstart it again. Was hoping China, evergrande building collapse might cause a ripple.

          I don’t think it is fair to say that this is fizzling out. Finances are improving year over year. Hodlers are hodling –– year after year –– DRS counts prove that. Blockbuster movie coming to a theater near you.
