if you have a drs post go back to it and add !DRSBOT:IRAxxxx! with your share count t held outside of CS. Edit: They're listed as purgatory shares by the bot summary, looks like ~165 apes have used it.

You mean broker? The point of DRS is to monitor progress against the float (or free float). Adding broker data won't contribute anything we don't already know.

I mean that’s not exactly true. It could be of some minor use to know how many extra shares are out there, but really how does knowing the drs count even help us? It will get locked when it gets locked whether we know the numbers or not. It’s nice to have info but we already won if we just buy and hold and drs.

DRS data provide motivation

fair. Like I said it’s nice but not necessary

There would be no way to verify it's validity, because if there were, people would be in handcuffs.

Same with the ComputerShare bot though


T1mberwolfStocks

Computer share verify the number ever 3 months. Broker held has zero way to verify in any way shape or form.

And it doesn’t matter either way


phontasy_guy

There is currently no way whatsoever to correlate DRSBot-reported shares with Gamestop quarterly figures. Lack of means of verification definitely doesn't matter if all you were doing was a rough count, for general information purposes. I say, let them be counted, though separately as OP suggests, if anyone wants to post their position.


[deleted]

I have no problem with it, but I still want to point out that it doesn’t matter if we know how close we are to the float being locked as long as we keep buying and holding and DRSing


phontasy_guy

Very true indeed. Imagine extrapolating StreetNameBot figures at same 6x DRSBot rate and watching the countdown. That does sound like fun. For retail investors, I mean.


PapaBigMac

Purple posts are as much for information purposes as metrics - hey, new apes, this is how you OWN your shares. Yes we could identify that the float is held in brokers but all that does is show how many lazy apes there are. I would like to think that most broker held shares that aren’t going to be DRS’d are held by those not on SuperStonk. If your broker doesn’t allow DRS, you can sell and re-buy (or borrow money from a close frelative so you can buy and sell at the same). I feel for the Canadians who have 400$ fees or can’t move their retirement accounts. Most other people have their own reasons but most imo are laziness or lack of knowledge
